Welcome to the best! 

Golden Paws is the reining #1 voted dog daycare in WNY every year since 2017! 


Why? Because we are the only structured daycare in WNY. 


Unlike all other daycares, this means that everything we do is training based. In our daycare, we encourage gate control, proper greetings, and appropriate social behaviors.


If your dog needs help learning these behaviors, check out our  schooling option :)


Each visit we send home a report card, too! 


We even offer healthy school lunches for your dog during daycare class! 


Daycare class is offered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday from 7am to 6pm. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday daycare is for boarding guests only.


Guests are required to attend at minimum, once per week, to remain enrolled in our school.


💛 $45 per day

💛 Add-on to Standard Kennel Boarding @ $20/day

💙 Included FREE in Suite Boarding

Play Time + Training Included

Do you need help socializing & training your dog? 


Unlike all other local daycares, we are the only structured daycare + school. 


This means that we teach dogs to 

constructively learn manners, engage in physical activities and social exercise, and stimulate their brains. Tired dogs are good dogs!


Just like a traditional school where students have different lessons to learn & practice, every week we focus on a different training lesson during their daycare visit:

  • Sit
  • Stay
  • Come
  • Leash Manners
  • Crate Manners
  • Gate/Door Barrier Manners
  • Down
  • No Jumping /Off
  • etc.

Each visit we send home a report card, too!
