Three Tracks. One Resort.

Training, Boarding, and Daycare on 23 Acres.

Most facilities pick a lane. We do all three, on one property, with one team. The result: a dog that is well-trained, well-rested, and well-cared for, with a single phone call.

About the Resort

Built by dog people. For dog people.

Deer Creek Canine Academy is built on one family’s deep love for dogs. Matt and Tracey founded the resort to fill a real gap in Harford County: a high-quality, full-service pet resort with a real training academy attached. With five dogs of their own, they built a place dogs could call their home away from home.

How We Work

A clear plan, on a clear timeline, for your dog.

No mystery, no surprise add-ons. We start with a real conversation, build a plan that fits your dog, and stay in your corner as long as you have us.

Free phone evaluation

Fifteen minutes. We learn your dog and your goals. You learn what we would recommend and what it costs.

Tailored program

We recommend the right fit: training, boarding, daycare, or a combination. No template plans.

Trained dog, trained owner

Owners are part of the work. The plan has to be maintainable by you, not just by our team.

Ongoing support

Group class graduates can come back for tune-ups. We stay in the picture for the long haul.

They did a great job with the training of my dog. Exceeded my expectations and he is doing great! We just took him on a walk and it was enjoyable having him have good obedience even around other dogs and people.

Ozzy had an amazing experience and learned so much! Great shout out to Vanessa and Tyler. Amazing work! Totally different dog. My Frenchie has worked through his anxiety. Thank you so much!
Nicoll C. with Ozzy · Bel Air, MD
Great experience! We have noticed significant progress in both of our dogs that we have brought to training. Matt, Vanessa, and Tyler have been extremely helpful with training both of our dogs.
