Puppy & Young Dog Day Camp
A Foundation for a Lifetime of Good Manners
Stop coming home to a second job. You work hard all day; you deserve a relaxing evening. Skip the chaos of shredded shoes and hyper behavior. Instead, pick up a puppy who is happy, mentally fulfilled, and ready to enjoy a calm evening by your side.
Beyond a peaceful evening, our program builds the essential habits and skills your puppy needs right now. By investing in their development during this critical window, you are setting them up for a lifetime of success, confidence, and easy companionship.
List of Services
What Your Puppy Does at Camp
We offer a high-attention experience tailored to each individual pup. Our days are a careful balance of structured learning, physical activity, and vital rest.
- Laying the Foundation: We use fun, early exercises like Come, Place, Wait, Sit, and Down to teach your puppy how to learn. These aren't "have-to" obedience commands yet; they are tools to help your pup develop problem-solving skills, focus, and a love for working with people.
- Confidence & Body Awareness: We use Fit Paws equipment and pet agility obstacles (like age-appropriate jumps and tunnels) to help pups build coordination and physical confidence.
- Real-World Preparation: We practice "Cooperative Care" to make life easier for you. This includes getting pups comfortable with being handled for vet visits and nail trims, including checking their ears, eyes, mouth, and paws.
- Socialization & Field Trips: We focus on neutrality. We take field trips to help pups learn to focus on their handler in new environments instead of rushing to jump on every person or dog they meet.
- Mind & Body Games: Engagement through trick training and enrichment activities keeps young minds active and prevents boredom-based destruction at home.
The D.O.G. Connection
We aren't just a "drop-off" facility; we are your partners in your dog's development.
- Tailored Experience: Every camp day is customized to your dog’s specific temperament and your personal goals.
- Dedicated Communication: We book drop-offs and pick-ups in 15-minute windows. This ensures we have time to talk with you about your goals, troubleshoot behaviors, and offer expert advice for setting your puppy up for success.
- Daily Insights: You’ll receive a midday update with a photo or video, followed by a comprehensive Report Card at the end of the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who can enroll? This camp is exclusively for puppies 12 weeks to 6 months old. This is the most critical window for shaping long-term behavior.
- Is this formal obedience training? No. This is foundational enrichment. While your dog will begin to understand cues, the goal is to create a positive association with learning. This ensures they have the "mental muscles" to succeed in formal training down the road.
