Does your dog light up when they see other dogs, but your schedule makes it hard to arrange regular playtimes?
Our structured dog playgroups and dog daycare provide the consistent social interaction your pet needs, while fitting seamlessly into your big city lifestyle. Discover how our expertly managed playgroups can elevate your dog’s social life and give you one less thing to worry about.
Why Dog Playgroups Are Essential for Vancouver Dogs
The right playgroup environment can make a big difference in your dog’s growth and overall happiness. Regular interaction through structured play helps with behavioural problems. This is so important in an urban settings like Vancouver where dogs might spend long hours alone. Without consistent socialization, dogs might develop anxiety, destructive habits, and lose the social skills that keep them calm and confident.
Vancouver life makes finding time to coordinate one-on-one play times hard for busy professionals. Structured dog playgroups during day boarding at Jet Pet Resort offers an easy solution for busy professionals with scheduled social time for your dog that fits seamlessly into your routine. The mental stimulation from group play not only tires your dog out but leaves them calmer, happier, more content when you return home.
Structured Groups: The Safe Play Advantage
What sets our playgroups apart is our commitment to structured play overseen by a trained staff member. Small dogs play differently from large breeds, and without structure, puzzles, and oversight, play could lead to distressing experiences. By organizing size-matched groups, we ensure that every dog feels safe, confident, and secure during play.
We consider multiple factors when forming groups, including size, age, energy level, and play style. Timid dogs benefit from gentle playmates who won’t overwhelm them, while high-energy breeds are sometimes better matched with dog companions who can keep up with their enthusiasm. This intentional structure prevents the negative experiences that can occur in a less planned area like a dog park.

I’ve been searching for a suitable daycare ever since I moved here and I no longer need to look any further! The new management and staff are amazing and really care about the well being of your pets. I felt totally comfortable with the cleanliness and supervision of the dogs and cats in their care. I was given a thorough tour of the facility by the manager Fay and I was very impressed!
