About Pawsitively Pooched

Pawsitively Pooched was founded in 2005 because we absolutely love our furry, four-legged friends! This strong foundation, coupled with always treating your dogs like family, we are established as the #1 dog grooming, training, hydrotherapy, and pooch daycare in Calgary!


When Erin realized her calling was at Pawsitively Pooched, she decided early-on that she would treat every pup that pawed their way through her doors like they’re a part of our own family. Our goal here is to help every dog feel like they’re at home using compassion, love, and our deep knowledge of canine needs, regardless of breed or variety.

Owning a dog carries a huge responsibility. We’re here to lighten the load! We’ll take care of grooming, training, exercising, and help you to get your dog in the best shape of their lives! We’re the only dog daycare center in Canada with a pool and a team of experienced and highly-trained hydrotherapists. 


Whether you have a pup with an unbelievable amount of energy, an older dog who needs some tender love and care for their arthritis, or dog who just needs a little extra training, we’re here for you. We’ll get your pup looking good, and feeling good, no matter age, breed, or temperament!

Need To Know

We do require that all dogs are up-to-date on necessary vaccinations. If your dog has any medications, such as oral or topical treatments, we’ll keep those on site for the duration of their stay, administering at the appropriate times. In the unlikely event of illness, we’ll seek prompt medical care with your preferred veterinarian and notify you immediately using the emergency contact provided at check-in. Our busier seasons are springtime for grooming, and winter time for doggie daycare! Keep this in mind for scheduling; we always recommend booking ahead of time and at checkout!

Your Pups Paws Are In Good Hands

When you’re looking for a groomer, daycare, hydrotherapist, trainer, you need to know your pooch's paws are in good hands! We’ve worked hard since 2005 and invested countless hours to ensure we deliver the best care to each and every single one of our beloved canine clients. Pawsitively Pooched was founded on more than just a passion and love for caring for dogs. We hope these values help you feel more comfortable granting us the privilege of working with and caring for your beloved furry family member, granting peace of mind while you’re away from them!

We Take Our Time

We’ll never sacrifice quality for speed. Since opening in 2005, we’ve perfected our system and process for ensuring every pup who stays with us receives the highest quality of care, no matter how many dogs are in our shop. We also never overbook our calendars, so you know that your dog is receiving all the attention they need and deserve.

Sharing Our Knowledge & Experience

We are deeply committed to your success as a dog owner! We love learning more about your canine friends, and we love sharing our knowledge. We’ll make helpful suggestions based on our training and experiences that we’ve gathered over the years. Our goal here is to help you build a stronger bond with your pets that lasts.

Respect & Honesty

At Pawsitively Pooched, we understand that your pup is a special member of your family and they deserve the highest level of care available. Our team of expert care takers and specialists alway ask loads of questions to better understand your desires for that care, closely adhering to any requests and preferences. We provide a report card for our canine friends after their first session, so you can ensure our doggy daycare is the right place for your pup!

A Calm, Pawsitive, & Posh Atmosphere

Dogs are sensitive to our emotional state! It’s really a beautiful thing, but it can also be not so great. That’s why we make sure to maintain a calm and positive environment every day, around every dog. This helps to ensure your pup feels comfortable staying with us, whether it’s just for a quick dog grooming session or an all-day stay for doggie daycare. Our rigorous cleaning procedures using dog-safe cleaning supplies ensure your dog is in a safe, pristine environment, reducing the spread of germs.

We Are Dog People

Pawsitively Pooched was lovingly built and is maintained with heart by a team of folks passionate about helping you and your dog, or dogs, reach their full potential! We always have someone on site who is trained in doggie first aid, and our hydrotherapists are fully trained in their craft. We are knowledgeable in vet studies, dog training, grooming, and have training on working with aggressive dogs and/or fearful dogs.

We are a team of dog-loving experts!
