Charleston’s Exceptional Choice in Dog Boarding

Our lodging services are exclusive to alumni of our signature training and/or socialization programs. We are currently enrolling dogs of all ages in our training programs and dogs under 9 months may also qualify for our socialization program. Our programs require at least a 4-6 week commitment. You can find out more information and submit a request for a discovery session here. 

Our outdoor space is just the right size for your dog to have a blast while playing with our professional staff. After a hard day of group or individual play, our dog boarding guests are safe in our clean and comfy retreat. Each dog has their own personal room in which to rest. Additionally, all guests receive fresh bedding, gourmet treats and elimination breaks. Comforting music and aromatherapy soothe them as they relax. All dogs have fresh water available at all times and receive nightly tuck-in service.

Best Friends of all Sizes!

Charleston’s Only Learning-Based Pet Retreat

It is our expert belief that activities and personal attention make for a happy and healthy dog. This is especially true during a retreat away from home.

We have customized daily care packages available. Let us help you choose the perfect one for your pet.

Small Group Playtimes: We offer small group play sessions, as temperament allows, at a ratio of 1:6, supervised by a dog behaviorist/trainer. Your dog can stretch their legs out in the fresh air while playing with other dogs. Our trainers will match your dog to an energy and temperament appropriate play group.

Our daily care packages include your dog’s feeding, care and potty breaks. We also have a variety of both enrichment activities and regular activities to suit each dog’s needs.

  • Perpetual Performance elevates your dog’s experience by adding learning games, our foundational training refreshers and reinforcing social manners to the playful essentials.

Enrichment Activity vs. Activity

Activities are fun physical play times that involve one-on-one time with a pet care technician or small group play, as temperament allows. They can also include cuddle time, stretching and walks for our guests that need more gentle activities.

Enrichment activities take this to another level and involve various stages of mental work on top of the physical fun.
