Taylor’ed Canines offers one of Guelph’s longest-standing and most progressive doggie daycare programs, proudly operating for over 8 years. Our approach focuses on structure, enrichment, and individual care, not just open play. With a strict cap of 20 dogs per day, we ensure a calm, safe environment where every dog receives focused attention.
Our team is personally mentored by head trainer Taylor Mariani, maintaining consistent handling, clear communication, and high standards of care. Each day is thoughtfully structured with a balance of play, rest, and enrichment, helping dogs build confidence, social skills, and calm behaviour.
Ideal for:
Young dogs learning to socialize
Active dogs needing structure and stimulation
Owners looking for peace of mind and a well-exercised, happy dog
With a strong focus on quality, safety, and purpose, Taylor’ed Canines delivers more than just daycare, it’s a day well spent for both dogs and their people.

"The structured daycare at Taylor's Canines is the best. I know my pup is well looked after and she always comes home tired and happy!"
Nicole C.
"We have been sending our 9 month old puppy to the day play program for about 4 months now and it has been such a great experience. She absolutely loves going and comes home a very tired and happy pup! Her impulse control has improved dramatically and I truly believe sending her to Taylor’ed Canines has helped us in our overall training. The staff are fabulous and are always so happy to see her. I would recommend them to any dog owner!"

"My dog can’t wait to get to Doggy day care! The structure has made a huge difference and I know he is well cared for, having fun and all while learning!"
