Small dogs may be, well, tiny, but their personalities sure are larger than life! Whether it be their bustling energy, their energetic tail wags, playful nature and ability to fit just about anywhere, little pups (just like their bigger counterparts) benefit immensely from socialization, exercise, and mental stimulation.
At Country Kennels, our Small Dogs Daycare programs in Leduc County are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of small breeds – keeping them happy, healthy, and engaged while you’re away. Here’s how the Country Kennels family makes room for your little pup to be their biggest and bestest self:
Playin’ It Safe | Secure & Separate Play Areas
Small dogs have different energy levels and play styles compared to larger breeds. That’s why we provide:
- Dedicated small dog play areas: No mixing with big dogs, so tiny pups can play safely and confidently.
- Secure, escape-proof environments: All runs and indoor spaces are designed with safety in mind, giving pet parents peace of mind while their pets enjoy their freedom to play to their heart’s content.
By keeping small dogs in their own spaces, we reduce the risk of accidental injury, unnecessary stress, or even intimidating interactions with bigger dogs.
Keeping An Eye Out | Supervised Socialization
Our trained staff ensures every small dog enjoys:
- Small-group play: Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and energy level to foster positive, cohesive interactions.
- Continuous supervision: All our staff monitor our furry guests’ behaviour, stepping in when needed to prevent any conflicts or overexertion.
This structured approach helps pups develop social skills and enjoy the company of other friendly dogs without feeling scared, threatened or overwhelmed.
Never A Dull Moment | Mental Stimulation & Exercise
Small dogs need more than just physical activity – they thrive on mental enrichment too. Our daycare provides:
- Engaging activities and games suited to their size and energy.
- Variety in play: Whether it’s fetch, puzzle toys, scent games, kongs, or furry friends, your pup has supervised free time to keep their mind active and entertained.
- Individualized attention: for the dogs who need a little extra time, care or slower-paced activities.
These exercises prevent boredom, encourage healthy habits, and help release pent-up energy that could otherwise lead to anxiety or mischief at home.
Reducing Anxiety & Loneliness
For small dogs, daycare is more than fun – it can be a solution for:
- Separation anxiety: Regular visits help dogs feel comfortable being away from their owners, knowing they’ve got a familiar place with all their friends to play with.
- Loneliness: Social interaction with other small dogs and attentive staff reduces stress and encourages overall joy for our furry guests.
Our staff also know how to read the subtle body language of little dogs, ensuring each pup feels safe, loved, and engaged throughout the day – no pup is left behind, or forgotten.
Comfort Features for Tiny Guests
We make sure small dogs are not only active but also comfortable:
- Climate-controlled indoor spaces: In-floor heating in winter, air conditioning in summer.
- Cozy nap areas and soft bedding: Quiet spaces allow dogs to rest and recharge after play.
- Attention to individual needs: Bathroom breaks, feeding schedules, and routines are tailored for every guest.
Our daycare balances activity and relaxation to create a happy, healthy environment for every little pup.
