The farm began as a place of healing and education for people and their canine companions. While we may be expanding our focus to bring harmony and wellness to people and nature, we are still honored to work with our beloved canine friends.

Our behavioral sessions take into consideration more than the outward behavior of your dog. We also focus on the deeper developmental stages of their inner being such as their mother’s health upon conception into birthing, the birth process/order, emotional/energetics of their surrounding development, and influences upon their introduction to life stages and health care. In addition, we take into account human/canine dynamics such as; the complexities and deep reaching effects of confinement, rescue, isolation, separation, multiple homes, over medication and lack of natural balance and harmony in todays world. It is sad that websites exist that list “bad” dog behaviors. Dogs are pure heart, allowing humanity a deeper understanding of consciousness and unwavering devotion.
Canine Behavior sessions are $135 for a 90 minute session.

The farm has offered water therapy for dogs since 2010. Our pool is heated year round and the water is cleaned via oxygen and light. Initially most of our clients came for orthopedic rehab, ACL repair, neurological concerns, and mobility challenges that come with aging. Although we still see dogs for these reasons, the scope of our work has expanded and adapted to the current needs of dogs and their families. The type of “work” dogs currently provide in the family system is mostly emotional work, yet their bodies are designed for exploring natural outdoor terrain, playing to release and balance their energy fields and simply being in contact with the earth. Thus, the warm water provides an outlet for anxiety, behavioral imbalances, weight loss, detoxification, enrichment, coping with loss, developing confidence, release of tensions, and letting go of what they’ve taken on to support us on our path. Older dogs especially love to soak, float, gently swim if able, and return to a sense of being whole. We know the effect stress has on our health. It is the same for our dogs.
All swim sessions are private and are about an hour once you arrive and check in. They include either on or off leash hikes. We provide towels and treats and prefer to speak with you prior to your initial session to learn about your dog and what will best serve their needs.
Our assisted swims are $85. We are in the water with your dog for the entire session providing whatever level of care and assistance is needed.
Our self swims are $65. These swims are for dogs who are fully capable of entering the pool on their own and enjoy the company of their people in the pool, or for dogs that have started with fully assisted swims and are now able to swim on their own with minimal support and guidance from their family. We teach many of our clients how to swim their dogs based on the individual needs be it emotional, orthopedic, or the gentle stages of aging.
Offering massage to dogs is quite different than to humans. Their instincts, sensitivities to smells, vibrations and energy fields require a different level of respect and trust. We offer group workshops so that people can learn first hand how to be actively involved in helping your dog cope with injuries, stress, and the challenges of aging.
Just learning simple basic massage techniques along with natural rearing fundamentals can enhance day to day mobility, reduce the possibility of injuries and disease, and provide balance in the energetic fields. We do work with dogs individually if your dog is receptive to touch, either outdoors, poolside or in our spa room.
If you have more than two dogs please call and we will make arrangements accordingly.

One of the best all around medicines for you and your dog! Eight of our twelve acres is fenced for off leash adventure. There are two streams, rolling hills, forest trails and lots of smells to explore and discover. It is also an excellent opportunity to find out what your dog’s natural recall range may be and how to work with that space to build a stronger bond, release energy, and increase instinctual connection and trust.
Hikes are by appointment only to ensure you have private time without the concern of other people or animals. We recommend waterproof footwear, towels for post hike clean up and water/bowl if your dog needs “their” water.
