My dog loves his play days at Doggieland so much. He goes in with a waggy tail and comes out happy and tired. I trust the staff to care for him while he is there—and that truly is a differentiator.
It’s been about 2 years since we started bringing our puppy to Doggieland and we are so happy we did! Puppy Playdates - While still having to balance COVID restrictions, we brought our 3 month old puppy to socialize her with other puppies at Doggieland’s Puppy Playdates at their Bloor Street location. We actually live north of Toronto but found the first session so helpful that we made the drive and went 2 more times. They know their stuff and we learned so much about socializing young dogs. Our puppy thrived there. Day Care - We knew that in time we would want a place she could go to to let her energy out, regardless of how many walks we take her on, she never gets tired, that is until we brought her to Doggieland’s Day Care in Vaughan. Again she thrives there, she comes home exhausted, Every.Single.Time. They give us updates when we pick her up on funny things she did or something she learned, or when she has been a bit sassy. They truly care about her as if she was one of their own. We have her on a set schedule but find they are accommodating if we need to change a date, we try to give as much notice as possible. Boarding - We have used Doggieland’s Boarding services many times. We are very comfortable doing so as we know she is well looked after and has her own “vacation” while we are away. We ask for and receive updates a couple of times while away and we receive pictures and full updates on how our girl is doing. We can fully relax while away and not worry about her at all. Grooming - Our dog also gets groomed at Doggieland – reasonably priced and she always comes home looking her best. They ask what you are looking for and each time we have received what we ask for. Training - Recently we decided to step up our girl’s training and enlisted the services at Doggieland. The 6 week program has improved our dog’s listening and obedience in such a short period of time. She loves the training sessions she had with her trainer Derek and we enjoyed them too! At the end of every week Derek showed us what we would have to do to ensure our dog’s success and while we weren’t perfect we did learn a lot and in return we feel more confident in handling our high energy pup! We are so happy that we decided to enroll our dog and nothing beats the one-on-one time with the trainer. She is focused more on us when out and about and we are enjoying taking her more places and seeing how at ease she is. She is still sassy and energetic but now just more respectful…over Thanksgiving when family came over she didn’t try to knock any old ladies over. Lol Even though the training sessions are over, we are encouraged to ask further questions or seek clarification on training points, Derek truly wants the dogs he trains to succeed. The staff – Super friendly, caring and helpful, quick to respond to questions via email or by phone. It’s a long review but we truly feel blessed that we have Doggieland Vaughan so close to us and that their staff treat our dog with as much love and care as they do their own.
I don't have any idea why this business has a rating other then 1! The owner is a money hungry witch that employs young people that ARE NOT qualified or trained properly to deal with the amount of dogs they constantly over book. Sufficient staff is NOT 1 person per 30 dogs! I personally know of at least 1 dog that died there due to worker negligence. Stay away from here!
Not a huge fan. The main space feels like a warehouse and all 25-35 dogs run around at all hours of the day. They are not attentive enough to let you know how your dog's day was or if they were injured and they very rudely told us we could no longer attend as she has not been fixed, even if there is a serious medical condition prohibiting her procedure. I guess the men win it all, no leniency for our little girl...
My poor dog was injured while attending the daycare and the staff did not disclose this to me. I think that tells you volumes on the quality of attention they give to these dogs during daycare and also to the amount they are willing to share. If you're looking for high prices with not great service, go ahead and waste your money here but with a bit more digging I'm sure you can find better and more affordable services like I did
Our very social, high energy dog absolutely loves Doggieland and we couldn't be happier about the care she receives there. The staff we've met are absolutely wonderful, especially Bryna and Cathie. They are always friendly and professional, and have proven in many ways that they truly care about the dogs. We're so happy to have found them!
Our husky loves going to daycare at Doggieland, and has been to both the Yonge & Lawrence location (her usual daycare) and the Vaughan location for boarding. They have great hours and rates, friendly staff, and our husky always comes home happy, healthy, and tuckered out :)
