Start with what matters today
New puppy? Start here.
Potty habits, crate routines, puppy biting, and the first steps toward everyday manners. Let’s talk about the routines you want to build.
Ask about Puppy Board & Train and a plan suited to your puppy’s age and needs.
Founder-led, individual attention
A small-capacity home environment
Training that includes the owner
Build skills for life together
Training with a clear purpose.
Start with your goal. The right format and program length follow from your dog’s history, current habits, and the support you need at home.
Residential training
Board & Train
Your dog stays at the Retreat while practicing obedience, leash skills, and household routines. Owner coaching at pickup helps you carry the work home.
An individual plan
Behavior Modification
For concerns such as reactivity, guarding, or difficulty settling. We review the situation before recommending the scope and structure of a program.
Train by day. Home at night.
Daycare & Train
Focused daytime practice for basic obedience, walking skills, or a specific training goal, with structured activity and rest between sessions.
Compare Typical Program Investment and inclusions on each training page. Your final plan is confirmed after we discuss your dog’s needs.
A skill to focus on
Make room for practice during the day.
The Perfect Walk
Five days focused on leash skills. This is a separate program from the foundational leash work included in Board & Train.
Adolescent Basic
Ten days focused on basic obedience: sit, stay, down, recall, heel, crate, and place. Both programs provide up to ten hours per day.
Other focused work may include fetch, off-leash skills, socialization, impulse control, confidence building, or a custom goal. The track, schedule, and investment are confirmed for your dog.
Stay. Play. Freshen up.
Retreat care, with familiar routines.
A place to stay
Overnight Boarding
Home-based overnight care with appropriate activities, company, and rest. Dogs needing additional support may require a training-inclusive arrangement.
By approval only
Structured Dog Daycare
Ongoing daycare supports familiar routines after training. Attendance depends on eligibility, fit, and availability; it is not open enrollment.
A fresh finish
Canine Spa Add-Ons
Choose an individual service or a Spa package alongside a qualifying training, boarding, or daycare reservation. Standalone Spa appointments are not available.
You’re part of the training
Bring the practice home.
Every Board & Train includes a private owner lesson at pickup. Plan for at least one hour to see the skills, practice the handling, and discuss your home routine.
Looking for direct coaching?
Private lessons may be booked separately when they fit your goals. We discuss the focus, format, duration, and investment before scheduling.
A few questions before you choose.
Where should I start with a new puppy?
Start with the Puppy Training page, then book a free Transformation Session. Tell us your puppy’s age, daily routine, and the habits you want help building. We’ll discuss an appropriate format, including Puppy Board & Train.
How do I choose between overnight and daytime training?
Board & Train includes an overnight stay and practice within daily routines. Daycare & Train provides focused daytime work with your dog returning home afterward. Your goals, schedule, and dog’s needs guide the recommendation.
Can I book ongoing daycare without training first?
Daycare is by approval only. New clients cannot book daycare alone; participation must include at least the agreed Daycare & Train or Board & Train program. Continuing daycare after training and occasional daycare for prior clients remain subject to approval. All boarding dogs attend daycare and participate in daycare activities during their stay.
Does standard boarding include a training program?
Standard boarding provides care and appropriate daily activities. It does not promise a training program or group training. Dogs needing additional structure may require a training-inclusive arrangement.
Can I book a Spa-only visit?
Spa services are add-ons to a qualifying training, boarding, or daycare reservation. You may choose an individual service or a package, but a standalone Spa visit is not available.
Where can I compare investment and rates?
Each service page contains its relevant program investment, nightly or daily care rates, or Spa menu. We confirm the appropriate service and final cost with you before booking.
What happens in the first conversation?
We discuss your dog’s history, current routine, and what you would like help with. Jeremy or Amber will explain suitable next steps and any evaluation needed before selecting a program.
