About Us

Where dogs become part of the family!

Tygarts Creek Canine Retreat

Since 2018, we have proudly served our community through Bluegrass K-9 Training, LLC, building a reputation for dependable training, honest communication, and real results.

As our business grew, so did our vision. Tygarts Creek Canine Retreat represents the next step in that journey — a dedicated facility offering professional training, structured daycare, and comfortable boarding designed to meet each dog’s individual needs.

We believe dogs thrive with structure, consistency, and thoughtful care. Whether your dog is here to learn, play, or stay, our goal is to provide a positive environment where they feel safe, engaged, and supported.

With thoughtfully designed kennels, attentive supervision, and experienced handlers, you can feel confident knowing your dog is in capable hands.

Tygarts Creek Canine Retreat is owned and operated by Seth and Alysha Patton, founders of Bluegrass K-9 Training.

With nearly a decade of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and training needs, Seth and Alysha are passionate about helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions.

As trainers and business owners, they believe in structure, consistency, and clear communication — not just for the dogs, but for the families who love them.

Their commitment to quality care, ongoing education, and lasting client relationships is what sets Tygarts Creek Canine Retreat apart.

At the heart of it all, this isn’t just a business — it’s a calling.
