Set in a beautiful pine forest near Bethells Beach, Woodlands Dog Retreat provides your dog with over 10 acres to run and play in their natural habitat. We are a small private facility who believe freedom to socialise in an open outdoor environment is essential to a dog's well-being and calm state of mind. We offer specialized training and daycare services. Our caring and experienced staff offer t

he highest level of care, love and attention for your dog. PICK UP & DROP OFF
We understand how busy life is so we take the stress out of your day by providing a safe & secure pick up and drop off service in a comfortable air-conditioned van. You do not need to be home; you simply give us instructions on how to reach your dog. At Woodlands Dog Retreat, while we give dogs the s**ce to run and play in their natural habitat, we encourage balanced respectful behaviour. We practise calm self-control and do not allow high intensity controlling play. This results in focussed dogs that are respectful to each other and their trainers. We want dogs to feel safe and secure in a controlled environment where we can build confidence and help develop their skills in a tranquil outdoor s**ce. A large indoor covered area provides shelter during bad weather as well as a great place for quiet afternoon downtime & specialised training. Mature pine trees offer shade in the hotter months with 2 natural ponds for dogs to cool off and have some fun splash time.

Woodlands Dog Retreat was jam packed with energised pups today 🐾 there will be some very tired pups tonight. Happy Friday 🍃

Spring time☀️🐟☀️

Thursday pack loving some sunshine.☀️

It was an inside day so we decided to video the dogs having fun inside. Lots of agility work and ball games. Plus a few snoozes on the couches 😴 Then we loaded up early to make sure we could get out before the flooding closed the roads. The forecast is for the rain to ease overnight & only showers tomorrow so it will be business as usual 😀

Friday pack vibes.🕺💃🏻

Intro with our newest member Rex.🙌

Playful Thursday vibes.🤸‍♂️ (For music go to our instagram.)

Wednesday crew catches.🎣

Today we welcomed Alberts new lil sister Maggie, a four month old Schnoodle. She was a little nervy at first but with the help of her big brother she fitted into the pack nicely and made lots of friends. Welcome to the pack Maggie we look forward to watching you grow. 💪

Spend the day with us!🐾

Come for a wander through our pine tree paddock with us!!

Bit of entertainment for our inside outside day today!! Someone was a wee bit salty when they got shunned by @eds_n_pats (thanks for the loyalty Patsy) 😂 Also, enjoy the hilarity of us trying to gain the attention of Piper our lovely deaf girl at the end haha. Comment below any fun rainy day games you play with your pooches! 🐾🐶🤎

When the dogs take "come here" very literally (cheers Envy 🙄😂)

Arush, the biggest member of our pack by a long shot, turned 3 years old today! Arush Is a Sarplaninac breed also known as Illyrian Shepherd Dog. The breed is named after the Sar Mountains in the Balkans. He is a big gentle giant that just loves to play. We shot a separate video in his honor 🐾❤️ Happy birthday Arush 🎉 🎂 🥳

We thought we would change things up a bit and post video today rather than still photos to show the dogs playing and running around. The team took lots of short videos and edited them together. Facebook won’t let us mix video and stills in one post as we are a business page - in fact they only allow one video per post so I’ll do another post shortly with the 2nd video. Enjoy 😀

"Kia Ora and welcome to Persimmon Picking with Patsy" 🧡🍊

When you hear the door knock on Woodlands day 🏃🏽‍♂️⌚🎉

They told me this was the way to Wonderland 🤔🐾🌈
