We are a Tier 1 training facility for dogs and professionals alike. Our K9 instructors have trained military K9s, police working dogs, personal protection animals, and family companions with behavior issues. Your dog will live, train, and thrive in a facility designed for world-class performance.
Safe, Clean, Structured, and Comfortable Boarding
Dogs stay in our secure, climate-controlled kennel runs or indoor handler housing (premium package). We clean daily, provide 24/7 oversight, and offer tailored enrichment—ensuring every dog stays happy, healthy, and secure while you’re away.
Massive Outdoor Play & Training Grounds
Unlike urban facilities, we give dogs the space to move, explore, and train. Our property features open fields, a fenced obedience yard, and 1.4-mile road courses. This allows for authentic behavioral exposure and off-leash confidence-building in real-world terrain.
