We wanted more than our dogs just sitting in crates all day when boarded. So, the idea to create a country club for your furry friends was born. We aren't just your typical canine facility. We have more play space, indoor alone, than kennel space, an abundance of activities for your dog to do, including pack walks, trail paths, workouts, and more.
