Short and 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.

Board and Train

we train your dog - then we train you

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.

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 our 3 Week Board and Train Package.

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.

The package includes a Handover and two 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 a minimum of four 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.
