Boarding

Centered on Your Dog's Needs

Individualized and knowledgeable boarding that makes your dog feel right at home.

Deluxe and Safe 

"An amazing facility and a fabulous program. Clara and her team create a safe joyous environment for dogs."

Being an experienced trainer means that while dogs are not officially being trained during their stay they will be asked to be on their best behaviour and thus feel safe and happy and free to enjoy themselves.

A Typical Day

LONG MORNING HIKE

A long wilderness hike or Mountain Bike Ride every morning personalized to dog's induvidual fitness level and social ability.

​

GARDEN AND HOUSE TIME

Puppies, seniors and sensitive dogs might need additional time with us in the house or in the garden. Routines are based on needs and subject to change to meet dog's social and physical needs best.

​

AFTERNOON ROMP

All dogs get an afternoon romp on our 12 acres of dog heaven. Our property is lucky to boast 2 large ponds, kilometers of trails, and open fields to run and play in.
 

NAP TIME

Many dogs find time away from their home and family routine taxing. We provide a quiet dedicated time for dogs to relax and recharge after their adventures. So important and often neglected.

PREPARING FOR
YOUR DOG'S STAY

BEFORE YOU COME

Joy Unleashed is located in our home. Dogs must be crate trained and up to date on all vaccinations and flea and tick treatments. 

​

WHAT TO BRING

  • Completed Waivers and Information Sheets emailed upon registration

  • All collars

  • Food and Medication for the duration of their stay

  • Bedding: A Blanket from home. (This may not be returned to you as often blankets become victims of our fun, muddy and wet adventures. We keep replacement blankets in stock to ensure your dog has a dry comfortable place sleep.)

  • Please keep leashes at home

  • Toys are not needed; Nature is our playground here.

Testimonial. My dog is now walking with intention.

Maureen with Gus

"I am walking with intention, moving the leash from 5-7 and correcting when needed! Your instructions were so memorable   (because of humour and evidence and storytelling and little salty swearing ;-)  and clearly explained. Thanks again"
