Your Dog Deserves an Exploration Vacation 

A fun take on traditional dog boarding at the WildFree Farm

During their Exploration Vacation, your dog will be separated into adventure groups by: personality, energy level and age. That way, each dog has a chance to learn how to interact and play appropriately. While at the WildFree Farm, your dog will get to camp out overnight with their new made friends in the cozy cabin!

During the day, the dogs get to explore, adventure, and play from sun up till sun down with free rein of the 5 acre WildFree Farm as part of the Wind Package. If your dog doesn’t have great recall or a senior dog, they will spend their time in the Exploration Park as part of the Earth Package. The Exploration Park is fully treed, has 6 foot dog proof fencing all the way around, and plenty of space to explore, play and rest.

The Cozy Cabin (heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer) is where dogs stay during their Exploration Vacation. In the Cozy Cabin, each dog gets a Great Dane sized wire kennel to stay in. For families with multiple dogs or dogs who are not fond of kennels, there are 5ft X 5ft wire pens available. Your dogs are only in the Cozy Cabin during feeding times and overnight (from 11pm – 5am).

Daily videos of all dogs will be posted to social media so you can watch your dog enjoy their Exploration Vacation!

  • Dogs are separated into playgroups by personality. It is important to match up pups with the appropriate playmates. If matched up inappropriately, some dogs may feel the need to defend themselves. When matched up appropriately, each dog has the opportunity to learn how to interact with confidence and peace.

  • Jax makes it her main priority to prevent an altercation. Part of preventing an altercation is allowing rest to ensure dogs are not overstimulated.

  • The entire 5 acres is fully fenced for the dog’s safety!
