About Us


At Mountain Dog Inner Wolf, our mission is to lead canine companions on an unforgettable adventure to embrace their inner wolf. Surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Colorado's wilderness, our retreats offer a unique opportunity for dogs to find their place in nature. Through transformative pack experiences, guided adventures, and expert guidance, we empower dogs to tap into their primal instincts, cultivating confidence, camaraderie, and a profound connection with the great outdoors.
Join us as we embark on a mission to unlock the wild spirit within every dog, enabling them to roam freely, explore courageously, and thrive in their natural mountain habitat.
