Best Dog Day Care Center Winnipeg Near Me

4worldlovers:
The Little Dog House Small Dog Center offers daycare & in-home sleepovers


For small dogs, as well as training for all sizes of dogs.


We specialize in small dogs under 30 lbs and have experience providing daycare


To even the most shy dogs and those traumatized from lives in puppy mills or other situations of neglect or abuse.

We provide a small, cozy, home-like setting that is not overwhelming or intimidating.

Providing daycare for small sized dogs means that the dogs play only amongst

Same-sized friends and are never made anxious by the presence of larger dogs.


We have a 1,200 square foot playroom as well as a smaller, calmer quiet room.

The dogs are managed positively with reinforcement, gentle verbal guidance, distraction, and redirection.

And we will contact you to set up a Meet & Greet!

DAYCARE is more than dog sitting dogs left alone all day.

It is also about dogs getting to be with other dogs, playing, snuggling,

And gaining independence. Daycare is something good you can do for your dog even if you are home all day.

SLEEPOVERS can be arranged for dogs attending our daycare for a minimum of 3 months before the sleepover date. Our sleepovers are in our homes where your dog is treated just like one of our own.

TRAINING is something we owe our dogs in exchange for the love they give. Everything we do with our dogs should be fun and pleasurable. Our modern, scientific-based training focuses on using positive experiences and interactions, reward and reinforcement, kindness and patience. The goal is to build strong, mutually respectful partnerships between person

​and pet in which both parties know how to behave well together.

4worldlovers: Are you feeling guilty about your long work day? Is your dog bored at home? We've got you covered.

While staying with us, your dog will meet new friends to share exciting adventures with, discuss and debate new bone theories and trends, play all day long with old friends, and, of course, laze around sunbathing by the pool in summer months. We provide several separated areas to allow smaller groups to play and not be over crowded in one space. First visit is always free.*

We offer a separate small breed daycare area on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for dogs exclusively under 25 lbs or breed dependent.

Our outdoor playground has splash pools, play sets, slides, sprinklers, rest areas and a potty area.

Whether you have a quick business meeting out of town or your jet setting for a well deserved vacation, we offer a cage free boarding environment. Your dog will have his/her own comfy bed to sleep on in their own bedroom and a human close by if they have a bad dream and need a hug. They will enjoy the luxuries of day care during the day and relaxing with a few good friends at night.

Our boutique has been a labour of love since we opened. We started with a few racks on the walls with minimal merchandise to where we are today; a boutique filled with amazing products. We strive to provide Winnipeg and surrounding areas with the best possible items for you and your dog. We bring in many products that are locally and Canadian made and support other small businesses anywhere from the United States to the UK. We have established such amazing relationships with all our makers and love displaying their handcrafted products and supporting all they stand for. We hope to connect our shoppers with all of these makers and showcase the importance of shopping small and local.

​As the only child at home, Shelley grew up with dogs at her side as her constant companions.


Being the daughter of an Ontario Provincial Police Officer in the small towns of North Western


Ontario, police dogs were part and parcel of her family life. Due to her isolation both

Geographically and her father’s occupation she learned as a young child that dogs could be many

Things to humans. They were friend, protector and loyal companion. As a very young woman

Shelley moved to Winnipeg, got married and started her family. Raising her two children with

Their wonderful father was a privilege. Once her kids were in school Shelley embarked on her

The next twenty or so years of her life were spent involved in the music business and briefly on the periphery of Winnipeg’s burgeoning film industry, It became more and more apparent that the front row seats and back stage passes to concerts brought her little personal satisfaction and the film sets and movie stars even less so. Glamorous maybe, but not life changing for anyone, including herself.

That was all to change quite drastically with a phone call and request from her daughter Jana-Rai for much needed help with her “special needs weim”. They still laugh out loud at that perception, as Hailo was just an ordinary puppy doing what puppies do. Their subsequent search for help led them to the life changing revelation that their own needs reflected those of countless others. That combined with their desire to start a family business was the advent of Urban Canine.

If hard work could be defined as fulfillment, Shelley got her wish. The learning curve for her and J.R. was steep and sometimes fraught with trials and tribulations. But the joy derived from this rewarding work was unprecedented in her life. Watching her daughter thrive on the challenges as she educated herself in “everything dog” was nothing short of amazing and becoming the student to this young teacher with her insatiable thirst for knowledge was inspiring.

Shelley was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008 which naturally shifted her focus to fight for her life. With out the unwavering support of her partner/daughter Jana Rai and all of the” her girls” to back her she could not have left her business for two months and endured many more months of treatment without a second thought. These amazing women had her back and she eventually conquered her enemy, returning to a business that was not only intact but thriving. A year and a half later found her in Salmon Arm B.C. taking an intensive three week course in Dog Obedience training. Again she was covered and all was well due to the hard work of her team, J.R. and company.​

I believe that dog's aren't our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.

My family and friends never let me forget who I am.

I try to read at least one new book a month.

​ Let the beauty we love be what we do - Rumi

All of my pets have been adopted and my first was a ferret. I've owned up to 5 at a time.

I have fostered about 50 animals for The Winnipeg Humane Society and kept 3.

I adopted my first dog Phoebe from WHS as a Corgi mix, turns out she’s a husky with chondrodystrophy (dwarfism!)

My first and second foster fail were my two cats Figaro & Oliver. I’ve had them since they were 3 weeks old.

I have a soft spot for Disney, but you knew that if you picked up on my cats names!

My 2nd dog Rhino was my third foster fail. He was very overweight & lost 20 pounds with a good diet and exercise. He became so social that I had him certified as a Therapy Dog.

I've lived in Winnipeg my whole life, but have moved over a dozen times.

Thanks to 12 years French Immersion I can pretend I’m bilingual!

I was a certified lifeguard and used to teach swimming lessons.

My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my pets already think I am!

My Momma is my best friend (my husband comes in second place-he knows!)

My eyes change colour depending on my mood or what I’m wearing

I still pay children’s pricing for all my sneakers... & occasionally still for clothing
