Doggy Daycare Brisbane

WE’RE ACCREDITED BY:

Give Your Dog The Best Day, Every Day

Between busy work schedules, commutes, and social commitments, it’s not always easy to give your furry friend the time and attention you think they deserve. But your much-loved pup doesn’t need to spend long hours at home waiting by the door. With our doggy day care Brisbane-based services in Hemmant, your pup can spend the day playing, learning, and making new friends in a safe, loving space designed just for them. Your dog deserves a social life too, and we’re here to make it happen!

At The Canine Classroom, we’re not just about keeping tails wagging; we’re about creating a stimulating environment where every unique pup thrives. From indoor enrichment games to exciting play areas, our goal is simple: send your pet home tuckered out, tail-wagging, and brimming with joy.

The Value Of Doggy Daycare

A well-rounded dog’s day isn’t just about food and walks. Dogs are naturally social creatures who crave interaction, learning, and fun. Leaving them home alone can lead to boredom, destructive behaviour, or even separation anxiety.

That’s where our dog daycare service shines. It provides:

  • Socialisation that teaches good manners with all the dogs attending
  • Mental stimulation through games, puzzles, and short training activities
  • Physical exercise that goes beyond the average backyard zoomies
  • A nurturing, safe environment that prioritises your dog’s safety

Think of it as more than dog care, it’s investing in your pet’s happiness and long-term well-being.

Our Brisbane Doggy Daycare Options

Every dog is different, which is why we offer flexible schedules to suit your family and your pet’s needs, offering you peace of mind.

Full Day Daycare


Perfect for busy owners who need a reliable option while at work or away. Drop-off starts at 6:30am, and pick-up is available until 5:30pm. Throughout the day, your dog receives plenty of play, enrichment, and nap breaks to keep them balanced.

Half Day Daycare

Sometimes a half day is the right fit. Choose from:

  • Morning Session: Drop off at 6:30am, pick up by 12pm.
  • Afternoon Session: Drop off at 12pm, pick up by 5:30pm.


Great for younger puppies, seniors, or when you want a social outing without overdoing it.

Training Add-Ons

Want to ensure your dog enjoys learning while they play? Our optional training program lets your pup have one-on-one training with an expert team member in short bursts, using balanced training techniques to practice skills like loose lead walking, commands, recall and many more. We offer a range of specialised training services, including dog training and puppy training.

Stay & Train

For dogs who aren’t quite ready for the pack yet, our Stay & Train program combines two structured 20 minute training sessions with supervised play. This dog training is the perfect bridge to help shy or reactive dogs build confidence in an enriching environment.

Boot Camp Bundle

An intensive option within our Stay & Train program, the Boot Camp Bundle runs over five consecutive days to fast-track your dog’s progress. Each day includes focused training sessions and personalised feedback, with a 30-minute handover on the final day. Ideal for tackling obedience or behavioural goals, this structured format offers noticeable results in a short time. Pricing: $250 for members, $275 for non-members.

Signs It’s Time To Try Daycare

Not sure if your pup would benefit from doggy day care? There are a few clear signs that it might be just what they need. If your dog barks, whines, or paces whenever you leave, that could be classic separation anxiety at play. Maybe they have endless energy that regular walks can’t quite tame, or they’re still a puppy who needs safe socialisation with all the dogs. Sometimes boredom can show up as chewed shoes, dug-up gardens, or shredded pillows, which is your dog’s way of asking for more stimulation. Most importantly, you might simply want a safe space where your pet enjoys structured play, companionship, and attention while you’re busy at work.

Caring For Dogs Long-Term

Regular enrichment through dog day care helps your dog socialise, become more comfortable with being left on their own, burn through that endless energy, and learn not to be reactive. Consistency is the secret to success. By visiting regularly each week, your dog receives ongoing benefits like:

  • Improved manners from structured socialisation
  • Confidence from supervised introductions
  • Mental sharpness from puzzles, training, and varied play
  • A dog’s day that’s predictable, balanced, and fun

Over time, this builds habits that support your dog’s life both at home and out in the world.

My Dog Isn’t The Most Social. Is Doggy Daycare Right For My Pooch?

It’s completely normal to feel unsure if your dog is shy, older, or still learning how to interact with other dogs. At The Canine Classroom, we welcome pups of all personalities and play styles. Our team will gently introduce them to new friends in a way that builds confidence at their own pace. We don’t just send them all into a pen and let them have at it!

Older dogs or those who need a little extra support enjoy a calm routine with a mix of play and quiet rest. Even dogs who haven’t spent much time on their own or are a bit reactive in small doses can benefit from our structured, supervised environment. Our caring staff make sure every dog feels safe, supported, and comfortable, so you can relax knowing your pooch is in caring hands while they enjoy their day. Trusted for providing doggy day care Brisbane-wide, even to the most introverted dogs, we’re sure we can make your pup part of the pack.

Every fur baby needs downtime, so we provide calm, comfy spaces for rest. This is optional and happens in tandem with the training breaks.

2:00–5:30 pm: Afternoon fun

More fun, more games, more tail wags.
