SOL DOG LODGE AND TRAINING CENTER

For all dogs and the people who love them™. We are not a rescue, and we are not a shelter. We are a community business and a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports families and their dogs.

We provide services to ensure that dogs stay with their forever family and out of the over-crowded and over-burdened shelter and rescue system.

Upcoming Holidays

Molly's Calendar

Get ready for the holidays with Sol Dog Lodge!

This October, shop early for your holiday gifts with exclusive items from Sol Dog Lodge, including our very own 2025 Calendar, created by the talented Molly Condit.

Molly, renowned for her partnership with us on the Pawtrait Parties, has carefully curated stunning black-and-white photos of some of the dogs of Sol Dog Lodge. Her dedication has resulted in a beautiful wall calendar — a high-quality art piece that captures the heart and soul of our furry friends.

You can purchase your calendar here. Order in October to receive your items well before the December rush.

training

Sol Dog Lodge trainers draw upon a variety of methods, a flexibility we believe is critical because all dogs are individuals and deserve to be treated as such. Our goal is effective, low-stress training where we work with the dog’s natural drives and instincts, not against them. The result is a happy, cooperative dog and an enjoyable training experience for all involved.

boarding

Sol Dog Lodge is proud to be a small kennel where your dog will receive individualized care and attention. Unlike most kennels that are “unstructured”, we set expectations for the dogs in our care, and ask for and reward your dog for the same good manners you would expect at home. This helps create a calm, structured environment to reduce stress for all the dogs in our care.

grooming

Whether your dog needs a bath and brush, stylish new ‘do, or just a nail trim, we’ve got you covered. Our Thornydale location is your new doggie spa destination. All services are completed with care and attention and every safety precaution is taken to guarantee the most positive grooming experience for your pet.
