Mystic Mountain Retreat is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy
place for your animals friends and believes in a holistic approach,
including vaccinations, worming, and flea control. To support this approach
Mystic Mountain Retreat does not require that vaccines be given every year
and consider that first year vaccinations create lifelong immunity.
Mystic Mountain Retreat requires that all guests follow a vaccination, flea,
and worming plan; either allopathic or holistic supervised by their
veterinarian. (For the vaccination plan that Cindy Hill follows for her own
animals see:
http://www.mercyvet.com/vaccines.htm
).
All dog guests must provide a negative fecal test within the last 6 months
as they share our play field (cats are not required as they use personal litter
boxes).
To fully support guests, a history form and agreement will need to be filled out
and signed before their stay (forms available upon request).
Mystic Mountain Retreat provides beds, bowls, towels, blankets, toys and treats.
(If your pup is a shredder please provide your own bedding, additional charges
may apply if MMR bedding is torn beyond normal use.)
You will need to provide:
All food, supplements, bones, and medications (we have lots of room to store
raw food and veggies)Any special treats (we provide chicken jerky)
Something with home smells on it (un-washed bedding or towels/t-shirts from
mom or dad)
Any behavior tools you use at home such as gentle leaders/halters, pinch
collars, or barking control collars
Anything that will help your fur-kids have a happy stay including toys,
crates, beds, blankets etc.
Please call or email for an appointment and driving directions (not provided on
the web site for security reasons). Please no unscheduled visits.

Retreat utilizes a combination of positive feedback, natural training,
communication, and energy balancing for our training processes. While dogs
are very special individuals who understand many levels of being, they are also
canine's with their own behaviors that are separate from us humans. Thus during
your pups stay we will work with them to understand the rules which will ensure
the safety for other guests, the caretakers and your pup. If you would
like to discuss our processes please contact Cindy.
Mystic Mountain
Retreat is a commercial kennel so we must adhere to county regulations regarding
noise. Specifically, we cannot have a "repetitive barker". The
county defines a repetitive barker as a dog who barks continuously for 10
minutes of any 30 minute time frame. Repetitive barking not only
bothers the human neighbors but also other guest dogs and even themselves as it
may cause stress to their digestive system.
If your dog is a
repetitive barker, we will use a very humane method to quiet them. First we use
communication to determine if anything is wrong and to let them know the rules
and why barking is inappropriate behavior. If the barking continues we utilize
various techniques and tools to help with their training: water spray bottles
are our first tool after communication, then sonic devices that creates a sound that quiets most pups
or lemon collar that sprays a quick burst of lemon
near the dog's nose when he/she barks (the dogs don't like the smell and will
eventually figure out that it only happens when he/she is barking).
For most pups
these tools work great and for others we will use a
stimulation collar that starts with a small level of stimulation and slowly
increases. When the pup stop barking the collar automatically is reset to the
lowest level. If for some reason the barking continues the collar is deactivated
to ensure the stimulation is only for training. Once the pup has figured out
barking is not appropriate we step backwards in the process so most pups are
trained not to bark without any aids. The small percent of dogs we have had to
use these aids on have not been stressed out by them and have continued to have a
great time while at Mystic Mountain Retreat.
We reserve the right to refuse service for any animal, per Mystic Mountain
Retreat’s discretion.
