Rates, the day itself, health requirements and the ranch. If your question isn’t here, call us, we’d rather answer it properly.
Booking is easy through Goose. Create a profile for you and your dog, upload vaccination records, and tell us about your dog’s care needs. Then choose your dates and package. Your first booking takes just a few minutes, and your information is saved to make future stays even easier.
Every package includes supervised outdoor play, comfortable indoor rest, and the same loving care. Adventure is ideal for dogs who benefit from even more outdoor time and individual attention to burn off energy before settling down.
Adventure daycare adds longer outdoor rotations, extra one-on-one play, a cozy Kuranda bed for naps, and a guaranteed photo or video.
Adventure boarding adds longer outdoor rotations, a guaranteed larger kennel, a Kuranda bed, and a guaranteed daily photo or video. It also includes a light brush-off, a rinse if especially muddy, and priority booking for separately booked Personal Ranch Experiences.
Both Adventure packages may include time in our two-acre Glacier Adventure Field when weather, scheduling, and compatibility allow.
Yes, dogs who live together can share a kennel if they’re comfortable together.
For stays of two nights or more, the first dog pays the regular rate. Each additional dog sharing the kennel is $20 per night for Cozy or $30 per night for Adventure.
For a single-night stay, each additional dog is $30 for Cozy or $40 for Adventure.
You can choose a different package for each dog. For example, one can enjoy a Cozy Mountain Stay while the other enjoys a Mountain Adventure Stay, even when sharing the same kennel.
Outdoor time is the heart of the day here. Unlike boarding built around brief trips outside for bathroom breaks, we build each day around play, exploring, and time to enjoy our six fenced yards, with comfortable indoor breaks for meals and proper rest.
We tailor each dog’s day to their age, energy, personality, and comfort. Some thrive on running and playing with friends; others prefer gentle exploring, lounging, and longer naps. Outdoor time adjusts to your dog’s needs and the weather.
Adventure guests enjoy longer outdoor rotations, with extra time shaped around what they love most, whether that’s active play, sniffing and wandering, or relaxing outside. They may also explore our two-acre Glacier Adventure Field when weather, scheduling, and compatibility allow.
We match dogs by size, energy, temperament, age, and play style, using the information you share in their Goose profile and what we learn as they settle in. Our experienced team actively supervises play and adjusts groups as needed, keeping them small and compatible.
Our six separate fenced ranch yards and two-acre Glacier Adventure Field give us room to keep groups safely separated and find a comfortable setting for each dog.
Your dog’s safety is our top priority. If group play isn’t the right fit, we arrange quieter company, a smaller group, or individual outdoor time.
Group play isn’t a requirement. Whether your dog needs a smaller group, quieter company, or outdoor time on their own, we tailor their day so they can feel comfortable and enjoy the ranch. Tell us about their needs in their Goose profile so we can plan from the start.
We want every dog, regardless of size, temperament, personality, or intact status, to have fun here at the ranch. Intact dogs are welcome under our intact-dog policy, with carefully managed play arrangements. Females cannot attend while in heat or for three weeks after their cycle ends.
Our private, two-acre Glacier Adventure Field gives Adventure guests more room to run, chase a ball, follow new scents, and explore at their own pace. We tailor field time to each dog’s energy, interests, and play style.
The field also hosts our separately booked Personal Ranch Experiences, including herding games, bird retrieving and training, fetch and chase games, and trail and sniff walks. See our full Personal Ranch Experiences menu for options and pricing.
Field visits depend on weather, ground conditions, scheduling, and compatibility. When the field is unavailable, Adventure guests enjoy longer rotations in our ranch yards. If extreme weather limits outdoor time, we bring the fun inside with scent games, enrichment puzzles, and extra one-on-one play.
Yes. Personal Ranch Experiences include fetch and play, herding games, bird retrieving and training, basic commands, and trail and sniff walks. Prices range from $10 to $20, with a maximum of one experience per dog, per day. Adventure guests receive priority booking, subject to availability.
For extra pampering, add a Soothing Paw Butter Treatment ($5), Coat Refresh brushing session ($7), or Glacier Fresh Breath & Ear Cleaning ($10), which includes gentle teeth and ear cleaning plus a dental bone. Resort Extras have no daily limit. Grooming is coming soon for even more pampering!
Available with any boarding or daycare package. See our full Personal Ranch Experiences and Resort Extras menus for details.
Every dog receives plenty of love, cuddles, and personal attention, whichever package you choose. Personal Ranch Experiences and Resort Extras simply add more of the activities and pampering your dog enjoys.
Call anytime to check in. We’re always happy to let you know how your dog is settling in and enjoying the ranch.
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for daily photos and videos of life at the ranch. Adventure guests also receive a guaranteed daily photo or video.
All boarding and daycare guests must have current Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations, with no exceptions. Bordetella must be administered more than three days before your dog’s visit.
Upload vaccination records to your Goose profile when booking, or bring a copy to drop-off.
Yes. Our team stays on the property overnight, so someone is close by while your dog rests. Every overnight guest also enjoys a personal goodnight visit before lights out.

After a day of ranch fun, dogs settle into spacious kennels with room to stretch out, get comfortable, and enjoy a restful night. Our accommodations are spread across six separate, climate-controlled rooms, heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer. This layout helps limit noise and creates a calmer setting for rest.
Adventure guests also receive a cozy Kuranda bed. Every overnight guest enjoys a personal goodnight visit, and staff stay on the property overnight so someone is close by while your dog sleeps.
Bring enough of your dog’s regular food for their stay, portioned into labeled zip-top bags, along with any medications and written instructions. Please leave full food bags and bulky storage containers at home, as storage space is shared.
You’re welcome to bring your dog’s favorite blanket for a familiar comfort from home. We wash bowls daily and launder bedding as needed in our on-site laundry.
Grooming is coming soon. We’re building out our grooming room over the next few months and actively looking for a wonderful groomer to join our team. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for updates and booking announcements.
