Dog Training & Boarding in Our Mountain Home
We offer small-scale dog training and boarding inside our family home on 20 acres in beautiful Conifer, Colorado. Dogs who stay with us become part of our daily life – alongside our toddler, our Havanese, horses, barn cats, and whatever wildlife happens to wander through.
Our laid-back mountain setting offers a spacious yard and plenty of exciting trails to explore. Dogs who come here for training go on regular outings to local parks and busier areas around town. We work with puppies and adult dogs, offering programs for boarding, training, and owner education.
We'd love to be a place you and your dog both look forward to coming back to.
