As professional dog trainers, we provide a safe, thoughtful and fulfilling experience for your dog while boarding with us. We pride ourselves on tailoring each dog's experience to their individual needs. Rest assured, your dog's stay will be thoughtfully and intentionally planned from start to finish. Understanding and fulfilling your dog's individual physical and mental needs is top priority for us.
While boarding, your dog will partake in all the amenities of our structured day camp and adventure program during the day and a cozy, home-like environment to rest their heads at night.
No loud, overcrowded concrete kennels and "play yards" and no unsupervised nights alone.

During the fall and winter and early spring months, our pack spends their days hiking and adventuring through the beautiful Southern California landscape. On average, we hike between 5 - 10 miles per day with a pack of around 8 - 16 dogs at a time.
While joining us for Adventure Camp, your dog will be practicing training skills like:
Recall
Long Line skills
Foundations for Off Leash hiking
Trail etiquette
Engagement with handler
The Place Command
Leash Skills
Basic Manners
Respecting Thresholds (Doorways, gates, van doors, etc.)
Obedience Skills
All adventures are thoughtfully planned and structured for all dogs to be safe and successful. Only dogs that have completed our off-leash training program will be permitted to hike off leash. Boarding dogs will automatically be participating in Adventure Camp during their stay unless it is not in the best interest of your dog to do so.

Group Training Classes
I am not the trainer for everyone and that is intentional. The style of training I typically offer is relationship based and doesn’t offer short cuts or “quick fixes”. If you are looking for this kind of training, I promise I am not for you. If you are looking to deepen your understanding of your dog’s behavior and mind, learn effective communication methods and build a relationship of trust, love and fulfillment on both ends of the leash, them I’m your gal!
A consultation is required for all new private and virtual training clients. We do this so we have the opportunity to meet with you and your dog, discuss what the training process may look like, answer any of your questions and most importantly, make sure this is a good fit for all involved.
Group classes do not require a consultation and are open to the public.
$150 deposit is required to book a consultation appointment. Deposit will be applied toward any training booked with us in the future.
