Our Story
Packlife Dog Retreat began as a simple dream of wanting to help as many dogs and their people as possible. With nearly 10 years of dog training experience between us, we are committed to changing the lives of all the dogs and people we are lucky enough to work with. Each having two dogs of our own, we know that owning a pet is an amazing and rewarding experience, but also a responsibility, not a luxury. Training your dog properly will lead you to a greater understanding of not only them as an animal, but of yourself as well. We firmly believe in the owner-pet relationship being one of mutual understanding and respect, and we will work with you to build this relationship with your dog. We will train you to speak dog, rather than trying to convince your dog to speak human!

Our Retreat Day waitlist is now open!
For the first time in a LONG time, our Retreat Day (daycare) waitlist is now open, and we are accepting applications from new clients! If you are looking for some structured socialization for your dog, or simply a safe, fun space for them to spend time during the day while you're at work, our Retreat Day program may be just the thing for you.
For more information on our Retreat Days, head over to our daycare page. If you would like to get your dog on our Retreat Day waitlist, or have any questions, please contact us! We will send you an application form via email, and once it is completed, reviewed by our staff, and approved, your dog will be added to the waitlist.
Raw Performance and Adored Beast Apothecary are here!
We believe in not only nurturing a dog's mental health, but their physical health as well. That is why we are so incredibly proud to be retailers for both Raw Performance and Adored Beast Apothecary. The majority of our staff use both of these brands to maintain the health of our own pups, and we cannot wait to share them with all of you! If you have any questions regarding either of these brands, how our retail services work, or about raw feeding in general, please contact us so we can assist you!
“In choosing a dog to share your life, you have an incredible opportunity to form a powerful bond with a member of another species.”
