Do you have a performance, service or therapy dog that you'd like to reward for being a great friend, teammate and partner? Or do you just love your dog and want to spend a one of a kind special day with him or her? Then this is the event for you! Even though our dogs love the work they do, it can be stressful for them. As their handlers and caretakers, it is our responsibility to help alleviate that stress. This retreat is your opportunity to give something back to your canine partner and share a relaxing, rejuvenating respite that can benefit the both of you.

Included in this unique, one of a kind retreat will be presentations from dog behavior specialists, veterinary specialists, mental health professionals, canine and human bodywork practitioners:

canine body language and recognizing calming signals
recognizing and handling stress in our dogs and ourselves

dog care
optimum nutrition and supplementation for performance dogs
the effectiveness of acupuncture and other holistic veterinary techniques
hands-on body work (healing touch and massage for both you and your dog!)

the healing powers of water (bring your bathing suits and get ready to get wet!)
roundtable discussions and rap sessions

Cost: $75 per team (1 handler/1 dog); $65 for VIP Members
