Do you remember going to camp or sending your kids off? Camp is fun filled days of play and activities! Only our camp leaders supervise and lead dogs. You can drop your dog off in the morning and have an evening pick-up as well as overnight lodging whenever needed. We are trained in animal behavior & communication plus we have a natural affinity for all four legged and winged creatures here on Mother Earth! We can help your pet become a balanced happy dog.
Your dog is a social creature by nature. As we humanize our dogs socialization and training become even more important. Few cat lovers humanize their cats...cats don't allow it! Little or big barking babies are dogs that deserve the respect and opportunity to just be a dog with other dogs. You are your dogs world. Do you not owe your pet doggie day care camp? Choose from our many fun activities to personalize your pets experience here.
Raising Standards in Pet Care
Day camp or day care is designed to be given to your dog as a gift, the gift of socialization!
Honor your dogs spirit by letting it play with other dogs in a safe contained supervised environment.
While
good for almost any dog, our program is especially beneficial for
dogs that are bored or anxious when left home alone. Dogs who
feel abandoned can develop problem behaviors like chewing on the
furniture or having accidents in the home. A dog that has to be crated when you
leave the house is most likely to be a dog that will benefit from our day
camp program. Day camp is also a great choice
for high-energy dogs, playful & sociable dogs. We consider it necessary for puppies and young dogs to gain self confidence and develop their social skills. At
the other end of spectrum, dogs with a weight problem or older dogs
can also benefit. The excitement of the active dog play gets them up
and moving. Many veterinarians who are familiar with dog day care benefits recommend
camp for older dogs even with arthritis, as long as they are in good health. Dogs just wanna have fun! We let them run freely off leash in our large secure fenced yards.
We will tailor the attention and separate management of your dog if there are age, breed, size or training needs that restrict active group play. We do not charge additional fees for the additional coordination and work it takes to handle a dog separately however your dogs free time out may have to be reduced.
We do have separate small & large dog indoor and outdoor play areas.
We separate by size & temperament as needed or when requested.
You & your pets are invited to tour our facility.
