Dog Pro Retreats in Paradise

Come to Costa Rica. 🌺 Experience Pura Vida!

When I realized that trainers, veterinarians, groomers, and rescue/shelter staff suffer the same mental health challenges as people in other helping professions, it was only natural to create a special retreat for pet pros.

Focused on relaxation and hosted in my seaside vacation villa, Pura Vida Pup retreats are an all-inclusive time for rejuvenation apart from daily life.

Focus on self-care in an inspiring, educational environment:

🌺 Observe free-roaming canine behavior up close while you immerse yourself in the tropical beauty of the Nicoya Peninsula, a world famous Blue Zone. 

🐶 Discover the unique characteristics of Costa Rican "zaguates" on the beach while learning from experts in training, behavior, and ethology. 

🕊️ Step away from the demands of daily life, melt away stress, and prevent burnout by allowing yourself to be pampered and cared for.

Join an intimate group of colleagues and special guests for this unique learning and self-care experience!
