Far Fetched Acres offers NYC dogs a luxury countryside retreat with expert training, outdoor adventures, and personalized care just two hours from the city.
Hudson Valley, NY, January 14, 2026 — Far Fetched Acres is pleased to welcome New York City dogs to a luxury boarding and training retreat just two hours north of the city. The 135-acre Hudson Valley property blends open fields, trails, ponds, and expert-led training to create a safe and joyful space for dogs to explore and unwind.
At Far Fetched Acres, dogs are free to enjoy the outdoors. Rolling meadows, shaded trails, and calm ponds give them room to run, sniff, and play. Cozy cabins and suites provide quiet spaces to rest after an active day. Each activity is designed to balance energy, socialization, and relaxation, making it a top choice for dog boarding outside NYC.
“Our goal has always been to create a place where dogs can reset and feel their best,” said Colleen Safford, founder of Far Fetched Acres. “We use positive training, plenty of outdoor time, and personal attention so that every dog leaves happier and more confident.”
The retreat offers overnight boarding, puppy camps, board-and-train programs, and even in-home training for families who want extra support. Every dog enjoys guided play throughout the day, wellness check-ins, and grooming to keep them comfortable. Door-to-door transport from select Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods makes drop-off effortless, which helps the entire experience feel easy for both dogs and their owners.
Jeanette Kelso, Director of Training & Behavior, adds, “City dogs rarely get the chance to explore safely or build confidence through play. Our programs combine fun, structure, and gentle training to help dogs grow emotionally and physically.”
Training at Far Fetched Acres helps dogs learn everyday skills like sitting, staying, coming when called, walking politely on a leash, and feeling comfortable in their crates. Each activity is paired with fun games and enrichment exercises that keep their minds sharp and help them grow more confident. With structured programs that mix gentle guidance, personalized attention, and overnight stays in the countryside, Far Fetched Acres has become a trusted choice for dog boarding and training NYC.
By the time dogs head home, they are more at ease and full of healthy energy. The open countryside gives them space to stretch, explore, and enjoy a kind of freedom they rarely experience in the city. Owners can feel at peace knowing their dogs are surrounded by people who care for them with genuine attention and skill.
