What does your dog do all day while you’re at work? What if you have a business or trip that will keep you out all day? Dog owners all over the country worry about their pooches at home, all alone. Are they bored, lonely? Is the walk at the end of the day enough exercise? Are they missing out on important socialization? Are they chewing on your new leather shoes? Maybe dog day camps would be perfect for your pet.
While there are plenty of day kennel or dog “day care” services, Totally Dog Day Camp offers a completely different type of experience. Just like summer camp allows your child to run, jump, swim, do activities with friends, and get a break from home, so too does Totally Dog allow your dog to be a dog while you’re at work or away for the day. Elena Sweet, a dog trainer and paramedic, founded this camp and says, “I wanted a place where owners that are busy could have the peace of mind that their dogs are getting exercise and getting cared for during the day.”
And dogs are indeed cared for on the five acre spread that Sweet runs, complete with a dog playground and a bone-shaped pool. Owners don’t even have to worry about transportation – Totally Dogs runs a Doggy Bus that will pick up and deliver your pooch. As many as 25 dogs hitch a ride on the bus, eagerly hopping on and looking forward to a day of fun.
More of these dog day camps are popping up around the country. Camp Bow Wow, which provides both overnight and day camps, for instance, offers canine campers indoor and outdoor playgrounds, spacious cabins with cots, bedtime treats, and certified camp counselors. You can even watch your pooch from your computer or phone with the Live Camper Cams, and your dog will receive any special attention he requires, such as extra naps, extra treats, or medications. If you have more than one dog, they can share the same cabin.
Is there a dog day camp in your area? You pet may love to spend a day with his peers!
