Mills River, North Carolina Training Center
​

Facility

Your dog will enjoy 8 beautiful rolling acres to run, explore, train and play! We have fenced yards for playtime, two long dirt roads for safe walks, and 2 creeks to swim. 

Security and safety are our top priorities. The main training center area is enclosed with fencing, ensuring your dogs safety. We have security cameras inside and out to monitor any unusual activity. The boarding room where your dog stays is climate controlled, video monitored, and is equipped with interlinking firearms that sound inside and outside of the boarding room for added safety. Caretaker is on premises 24/7. 

Dogs are crated overnight and in-between training sessions, exercise walks, potty walks, and play sessions. We play ambient music and implement practices to encourage calm, quiet restful behavior inside. 

Allow your dog to connect with nature and enjoy the companionship of our resident dogs, cats, and farm animals! The Blue Ridge Mountains are most certainly therapeutic!

Enjoy the convenience of our new location, just 13 minutes past the Asheville Regional Airport. Come for the day or stay for the weekend when you drop off or pick up your dog. We are excited to share the best of the best local eateries and wonderful attractions and hikes.
