Standalone Retreats

Two, three, and four week retreats designed for dogs over six months old

For those looking for a single retreat, Wilde Acres offers two, three, and four-week Standalone Training Retreats for young dogs aged 6-18 months old. After a dog has completed a training retreat, both owner and dog are eligible to attend weekly handler classes offered at Wilde Acres. The daily schedule of any training retreat includes 1-on-1 obedience lessons and walks in the woods to practice good dog behavior. If dogs are dog-friendly, they will have employee supervised play-time with other dogs. If dogs are dog-aggressive, they will have supervised yard time on their own.

The longer dogs train at Wilde Acres, the better their responses become, providing owners greater control of their dogs’ behavior.

Weekly post-retreat handler classes are included with any standalone retreat package.

Every training retreat at Wilde Acres includes follow-up sessions called handler classes. After a dog has completed a training retreat, both owner and dog are eligible to attend the weekly handler classes.

Wilde Acres staff recommends attending at least three handler classes.
