Cageless boarding, training, and grooming on a tranquil horse farm in rural Madison County — just outside Orange.
Woodside Farm is where your dog will want to come back again and again. We designed our facilities to help dogs be happy and relaxed.
Training, boarding and grooming since 1997
Cageless boarding
From older dogs who like fresh air and quiet time to young pups who need several walks and meals a day, we are set up to offer your dog just what he needs. Lots of outside time is provided. Inside, each dog has their own space to eat and sleep — or members of the same household can stay together.
Play groups are offered if your dog would like one. If he prefers alone time, he can have his own outside yard for fresh air and a bit of exercise. During warm weather we provide kiddie pools. When it is hot, dogs go inside where it is air conditioned, then out again as the day cools. In cold weather, outside visits are shorter and the inside is heated. All dogs are inside at night, with a last potty break around ten o’clock.
What we offer
Susan Travellin works with all breeds — including rescues, puppies, and adult dogs — using scientifically proven, humane methods only.
Board and train, or weekly private lessons. Basic obedience covers on-leash work, loose-leash walking, and heel. Off-leash work includes recall and training around distractions.
We can also help with housebreaking — for a puppy or an adult who was never properly housebroken — and we can start your gun dog. If you like, we will text daily photos so you can see how he is doing.
Our method is KFFC: kindness, fairness, firmness, and consistency.
A doggie spa day: shampoo and conditioner, ear cleaning, drying and brushing, plus a nail trim. Clipping includes a breed-appropriate coat clip along with the bath.
If you would like your dog groomed at the end of a boarding stay, please let us know ahead of time so we can schedule it.
We are located in rural Madison County on a horse farm that is tranquil and quiet. We live on the premises, so your family pet gets the time and attention he is used to. Your dog will not be left alone for hours at a time.
All inside spaces are well ventilated and spacious.
Current rates
Please call if you have a question about your dog’s stay.

Board and train includes boarding.
An additional charge applies if a dog is particularly difficult, very matted, or needs flea and tick removal.
About us
After helping thousands of dogs, Susan can work with all problems and offer solutions. She understands dogs and knows how to reach even difficult and abused dogs. Methods are based on scientifically proven and humane approaches only — never fear-based training, which can leave a dog shut down, afraid, or defensive.
Your dog will understand and enjoy working and listening to you. Help is just a click or a phone call away.
Jack Russell Terriers
We are now on our tenth generation. Each parent undergoes genetic testing, and we only produce a couple of litters a year — bred for correct conformation, sweet temperament, and family pets who are easy to train.
Families are carefully selected so the pup is a good match. All pups have a veterinary exam, first shots, deworming, and are well socialized before they leave. Even if a Jack Russell is not the right fit, you are welcome to call for a consultation on finding your next canine friend.
Plan a visit
We love our customers, so feel free to call for an appointment — or leave a note and we will be in touch. Please bring your dog’s regular food, a collar and lead, and vaccination records including rabies and Bordetella. Flea and tick preventative is required.
