See all programsA family-owned pet resort and academy. Certified trainers, climate-controlled accommodations, and a 1-acre play yard. We treat each guest like one of our own.
Board-and-train transformations, anxious puppies, multi-dog households. Cases other trainers couldn’t close.
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.

Climate-controlled accommodations, daily wellness checks, photo updates, and a 1-acre yard. Premium boarding for short stays and long.
Inside boarding
Smaller group sizes and a lower dogs-to-staff ratio. Every dog evaluated before joining group play, with rest breaks built into the day.
Inside daycareDeer 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.

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.
Fifteen minutes. We learn your dog and your goals. You learn what we would recommend and what it costs.
We recommend the right fit: training, boarding, daycare, or a combination. No template plans.
Owners are part of the work. The plan has to be maintainable by you, not just by our team.
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!
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.
A short drive from anywhere in Harford County. Drop-off, pickup, training, daycare, all on one property.
