Overnight to Long-Term Stays
Premium Dog Boarding
We are located on acreage at East Kurrajong in the Hawkesbury.
Needless to say we have more than enough space to allow our guests to have the time of their life.
Our Facilities
Purpose Built and Personal
Our facility features a large running area and 22 individual kennels. 12 of these are available to our furry guests year round with the remaining 10 serving as overflow for peak season and to house development dogs for government agencies.
We only house one dog per kennel which means we are able to maintain a trainer to dog ratio of 4 dogs to 1 trainer.
Limited kennels also ensure a calm, quality environment which allows us to give dogs of all temperaments a positive boarding experience.
Our guests have access to on and off leash running spaces, private walking tracks and our dam which provides refreshment for water loving dogs during the hotter summer months.

we train your dog - then we train you
Board and Train
The Basics
All dogs are started on the basics. We assess the baseline they are at and start working with them based on what knowledge they present with when they first start working with us.
​
All training works towards goals you as the owner would like to achieve.
Dog Specific Training
Depending on the dog and training needed, we continue to concentrate on tailored aspects to help where needed.
​
Please be aware that specific training beyond the basics around obedience requires attendance to our 3 week package.
And much more...
How it Works
Packages and Return Options
To start working with you and your dog through our Board and Train Option we do require your dog to attend one of our Board and Train Packages.
​This makes sure we can allow for the time to get to know your dog, let it settle in and start training towards your goals without overwhelming it.
It also allows us to start creating new patterns and habits through consistent and clear communication.
​
We would like everyone interested in this service to consider that shaping a dog's habits is very similar to shaping our own habits. One repetition will not allow a human to form a lifelong habit, we have to practice continuously to become good at something. Our canine companions are the same and therefore we have developed our Packages to suit different goals, breeds and temperaments.
​
Packages include a Handover and a set amount of Follow Ups. Additional Follow Ups can get added if needed. Handovers and Follow Ups are designed to train you as the handler of your dog to be able to maintain training in your home environment. This is the most vital puzzle piece for the training to be successful long term.
​
Once we have trained with your dog and you had the chance to learn how to maintain training we offer a Return Board and Train Option.
​
This means if you need to board your dog with us for any reason and for any amount of days you can upgrade the stay to Return Board and Train so we can keep up the consistency and train your dog further while you are away.
At this point it is viable for us to welcome your dog back for a shorter stay as your dog knows our environment, knows our routine and will be happy to pick up training where we left off.
