Dog Adventure Camp!
Come home to a happy, tired, and fulfilled dog!
Is Adventure Camp right for your dog?
Does your dog:
- bid for attention while you're working?
- act wild when you get home?
- bark excessively?
- whine often?
- display destructive behaviors?
- have anxiety?
- exhibit boredom?
These are signs of unmet needs.
Let us help you regain peace and contentment by meeting those needs and taking your dog on an adventure!

Transportation
All human Camp Counselors carry a valid driver's license and insurance.
We transport dogs to and from Adventure Camp locations safely, with them secured to seats. You must provide a harness for their transport safety - we will not attach the "seat belt" to their collar.
Camper's Safety
We maintain a ratio of three to four dogs to one human Camp Counselor for most Camps. Special exemptions may be made if grouped pups are particularly well mannered and familiar with each other.
We will never take on more dogs than we can safely handle. All dogs in our care receive highly individualized attention. All dogs will be securely attached to the Camp Counselor with the use of a dog leash waist belt. There may be times where off leash exploration is granted, depending on location, your dog's recall reliability, and your permission.
Animal Temperament
It is essential that your dog is baseline socialized to other dogs if you would like him or her to adventure with us. Your dog doesn’t have to be smitten with every dog they meet, but aggression will not be tolerated.
Dogs on a weekly schedule especially become very good friends with their adventure buddies!

We do NOT attend public dog parks with non-Camper dogs. We may briefly utilize an empty park for a quick zoom session, but we will never take Campers into dog parks with unknown dogs. We believe the risk of a dog fight is too high, with some dog owners not being responsible and bringing their aggressive dogs.
