Membership for Dogs Who’ve Earned It
Welcome to The Pack - our exclusive membership program for dogs who have graduated from a training program with us and proven they’re ready for more. This isn’t a casual drop-in service. It’s a lifestyle, designed for dogs who thrive on structure, consistency, and elevated care - and for owners who want the same.
Think your dog is ready?
Get in touch - we’ll determine if your dog is already Pack-ready - or what it’ll take to get them there.
What You Get
-
Daycare
Calm, trainer-supervised daycare designed for dogs who’ve earned the right to free time done right. Social, balanced, and structured. Formerly known as SmartPlay.
Drop-offs are available for an additional fee.
-
Tune-Up Days
A weekly full-day training session to refresh and reinforce existing skills. Dogs attend 1-4x per week.
This program helps your dog stay sharp by strengthening the training they've already completed. It’s not intended for teaching new behaviors and does not include any lessons for owners.
-
Stay & Train
Stay & Train is designed for dogs who don’t need the full immersive Board & Train but still benefit from a structured overnight stay with expert training built in. During their stay, your dog follows a clear daily routine of obedience work, leash manners, confidence building, and exposure - all tailored to their current level.
Member Perks
Priority access to daycare and boarding
Free training tips and advice
Member-only events and structured social outings
Early access to new programs
Discounts on add-ons and additional training days
Slatmill sessions for structured exercise and mental stimulation
