Boarding With Rascal

Structured Boarding at Rascal Ranch

Our structured boarding program is only open to Rascal Training grads and Mother Pupper regulars. If you’re new here, reach out before booking so we can make sure it’s a good fit.

Boarding happens right at our home in Woodland, WA - affectionately called Rascal Ranch. We’ve got 4 acres of rolling hills, multiple fenced play yards, an indoor rubber-matted space for rainy days, and (coming Fall 2025) a full doggy obstacle course.

While they’re here, dogs sleep in crates overnight and spend their days in a rhythm of structured playgroups, solo and pack walks, naps in their crate, hikes, and one-on-one training or enrichment time. We post regular updates over on @RascalTraining so you can follow along.

Drop-Off, Pick-Up & Shuttle

You’re always welcome to drop off and pick up at the ranch (215 Empress Lane). If you’d rather skip the drive, we offer a door-to-door shuttle service between your home and ours.

Shuttle is not currently running on the weekends and not available to first timers.

  • Cost: $25 each way for homes within 30 miles (based on Google Maps). Beyond 30 miles is $1 per extra mile.

  • Schedule: Typically TO the ranch in the morning (pick-up 7–9am) and FROM the ranch in the evening (drop-off 5–6pm). Times can vary depending on the day’s route.

  • Booking Shuttle: Email us at rascaltraining@gmail.com to request it.

We’re a small two-person team, so we can’t always promise exact times - thanks for being flexible! Please have your dog ready when we arrive so we can keep things moving.
