Hounds Retreat
Their Day, Their Way
Your Dog's Retreat Experience
At Hounds Retreat, every day is thoughtfully planned around your dog's individual needs. Rather than group play, we focus on providing experiences that encourage dogs to sniff, explore, learn, relax and simply enjoy being dogs
Enrichment isn't just about toys or games—it's about giving dogs opportunities to use their natural behaviours, build confidence and experience the world at their own pace.
Why Enrichment Matters
Enrichment helps dogs use their natural instincts in a positive way. Whether it's following a scent trail, solving a puzzle or simply taking time to explore at their own pace, these activities can help support confidence, encourage relaxation and provide valuable mental stimulation.
Just as importantly, dogs also need time to rest. That's why every retreat includes quiet downtime, allowing dogs to relax, recharge and enjoy a balanced day.
Perfect For
✓ Dogs who thrive with one-to-one care rather than group play
✓ Sighthounds and recently adopted dogs settling into new routines
✓ Shy, nervous or anxious dogs

✓ Dogs from the same household who enjoy spending time together
