Drop Off Day Camp
A full day of play groups and customized training sessions
Now enrolling for our June session of drop of day camp! This session will run on Mondays June 5th. Owners will drop off their pups to our Alexandria Drive training facility between 7 and 8 am and then dogs will have a full day rotating between play groups, training sessions, and rest times. Pick up will be between 5 pm and 7 pm and pups will be sent home with a note sheet of what they worked on and what their homework is for the week. This program includes 5 days of camp and 1 half hour private lesson for $649.
At this time, we are only offering our sport camp on Mondays. Participants will work on obedience skills, and can choose two additional sports from: agility, rally, barn hunt, or conformation training.
Small Play Groups
All our play groups are carefully selected to match compatible temperaments and play styles. Small play groups allow us to tailor each group to maximize safety and comfort of all campers. We have some groups as small as 2 dogs for our more nervous campers and no more than 6 dogs for our social, rambunctious pups. Keeping our camp numbers small allows us to get to know each dog and make sure their play time is best suited to their individual needs.
Customized Training Sessions
At the beginning of the 5 week camp, we design a custom training plan for each dog. Trainers Arwen Price and Maggie Kudla work hands on with each dog multiple times throughout the day. We focus on helping each dog improve obedience commands, impulse control, and attention around distractions. Additionally, we work on specific skills and exercises to help address any problem areas identified by owners at the start of camp.
Is Day Camp Right For Your Dog?
We require that all dogs in our Day Camp program are dog friendly. If your dog struggles with interactions with other dogs, we highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Kristina Pattison before considering a camp situation. Dogs must be previously crate trained and able to stay in a crate when it is not their turn for play group or training sessions. We also require that families commit to working on homework assignments for 5-10 minutes per day during the week between camp sessions. No amount of training will have a lasting impact unless the learned skills are practiced with the family.
