Camp Good Puppy

TLDR: Camp Good Puppy actively ignores the health concerns of dogs in their care. I do NOT recommend this business. My dog came home limping with an injury that camp did not inform me of. I sent an email, and their response late the next day was to say that they "forgot" to tell me, and that they "didn't think he was injured" (even though they saw him jump off the trampoline and limp away, saying that their dogs "do the same thing").

I am now dollars shy of $2,000 in vet bills, including a surgery to correct my dog's grade three medial luxating patella injury. Camp still hasn't responded to this in any capacity (and they've had more than a week to respond). While accidents happen, those who work for Camp Good Puppy are negligent, and this is not the first time that they have neglected to respond or react to my dog's health concerns. As other reviews have said, don't bring your dog here if you love them.

We have been taking our 8 month old puppy to Camp Good Puppy since he was 4 months old and have had nothing but wonderful experiences! We've utilized the daycare services weekly and have done a few boarding stays. Our pup gets so excited to go to camp and runs to the workers, just as fast as he runs to us We love reading the report cards they provide and can tell everyone truly cares for our dog! He gets to go to camp and run around in fields and just be a dog. So thankful Camp Good Puppy is nearby!

Let me first start by saying I rarely leave a negative review. Look at my Yelp profile. This wasn't a "Camp Good Puppy" experience at all for our dog. It was more like a "Camp Bad Puppy" experience. The staff here doesn't care about your dog or your dog's health. Three weeks ago we took him here for a trial and things went well. We were excited because we found a place we thought we could trust while on vacation.

When we picked him up last Friday, he was immediately limping and scared. No explanation other than "he got sap today on his foot and we tried to get it off." He also had a terrible ear infection he was clearly scratching. Definitely shocked and concerned, I gave the benefit of the doubt by calling the owner. The explanation? "I guess he has an ear infection." And they didn't give him his flea and heart worm medication either like they promised.

The most frustrating part is the complete lack of concern and communication. Cierra, the woman who brought him to us, didn't seem concerned in the least bit and left us on our way. They never called or emailed us to let us know he was having issues. We were freaking out. Imagine picking up your dog and the first thing you see is him scared and limping.

What we noticed immediately was swelling and mucus on his ear. And his right front and right back paws had swollen toes and were balding. We called emergency vets to get him in. This happed on 5pm on a Friday. We set something up and were driving we call to talk to the owner, Wendy. We let her know what's going on and she immediately gets defensive. "I don't know what you're talking about.he had such a fun time with us." No acknowledgement, no concern, no apology. Nothing.

In a 13 minute conversation, I maybe talked 2 minutes. It was like she didn't even care that we were about to wait six hours to get him into the vet or any concern for our dog. She was more concerned with defending herself and saying he had a good time. They didn't offer to help us find a vet, or offer an apology of any sort. Again, the major issue is the LACK of communication.

They never told us he was having issues. And they didn't give him his flea or tick medication like they said they would either. And didn't communicate it. I highly recommend avoiding this place. The staff and the owner does not care about your dog. And if something comes up, they won't take ownership or communicate with you. This end up costing us close to a $500 vet bill. They didn't refund us any of the amount we paid them for boarding and none of the vet bill either.

Our dogs have been going to Camp Good Puppy for over 12 years. Our dogs are always excited to arrive there and see their friends. We love Camp Good Puppy almost as much as the dogs love it. Excellent care and fun times!

Camp good puppy is such a great place! I took my dog Pepper there for the first time (pepper is really shy and kinda scared of other dogs) anyways pepper spent 10 days there and she made friends! She also isn't as shy anymore! This is such a wonderful place to take ur dog the workers are so sweet and responsible, I can really trust them with pepper! Thank u so much for taking care of my doggy

We take our dog here for daycare approximately one day out of the week. He gets super excited when we arrive. When we pick him up he is pooped from playing all day with friends! We especially like their "report cards."

Been bringing my dogs here for daycare and boarding since 10 when older dog was a puppy. Now primarily my 2 year old goes to daycare about 6 times a month as she is not a crate fan and barks at everyone when left in car (during cool temps). I used to board several times a year when travelled but rarely did the past couple even before pandemic. However, I have had some medical procedures/surgeries where bed rest was in order so Wendy and team have been life savers keeping both from a couple of days to 3 week. I know they will be very well taken care of at an affordable cost and Wendy has also been a great source for chronic doggy behavior and illness issues.

Camp Good Puppy takes the best care of our pup. They're professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and truly caring. Found this place about a year ago and we are thankful we did. They have helped us so much with our dog's high energy. Thanks!

We have been bringing our dog here for 2 ish years, once a week. We have also done boarding many times. The staff really care about the dogs and it shows. Our dog is crazy and has a lot of issues (mini Aussie.) and they have given us tips to work with him. The hours of drop off/pick up are flexible as well, which is nice. There was a time period where they asked us to stop bringing him for a few months because he was barking so much and had other behavioral issues.

We did, then came back a few months later and he hasn't had any issues since - that was a year ago. While frustrating for us, we appreciated them taking our dog back into daycare and giving him another chance.

I toured their property with owner. She gave a great overview of their program and how it has been in her family since they opened. The faculty was well set up and open plan Good flow for incoming and out going pets. When viewing the kennel area it was clean and bright and organized. This camp is a balance of play and rest. Not a good fit for smaller dogs unless they interact well with other breeds and sizes. Good positive visit and tour. A nice fit for weekly day care and for a fee days boarding.

Great looking place tons of room friendly staff good drop off times and a tired dog. We will definitely be using them again

We boarded our dog for 4 days here. We had to do 2 interviews with them 1 was initial 15 min interview to see how he behaved. The second interview was for him to stay 1 day at daycare. Which was a charge $35. Not a big deal. We were actually thinking about finding a daycare for him to go to a couple days a week. They excepted him and he stayed 4 nights.

He was there from Thursday through Sunday. They have strict hours on when you can drop off and pick up. No exceptions. Which is not convient when you are traveling. Sundays they only let them be pick up from 5-6 pm. When I received my email/invoice on Sunday (before I had picked him up) there was a $30 late pick up charge on there. I called to ask what this was about.

They said it's a charge that we give because you are not picking him up until 5pm. I asked well isn't that the only time I can pick him up? She replied "yes we only have pick up on Sundays from 5-6 pm on Sundays. No earlier or later because that is our family time". So they charge you an extra$30 fee on Sundays because they are the ones that cause the late pick up!

Unfortunately we will not be back. Expensive to board your dog and strict times on pick up and drop off and too many extra fees (late pick up/ interview fees). Bummer they didn't work out and I would not recommend them!

I sent an email to Camp Good Puppy on 3/18 inquiring about boarding and have never received a response to my inquiry.it has been two weeks. Super disappointing that they would not respond to a potential customer. Definitely would make me leery about sending my dog there. Do they respond to customers who leave their dogs there?

Great care. My dogs almost think it's home. They love the time with other dogs We love that Camo Good Puppy knows how much we love our dogs and how they communicate with us when we are away for over a week. We even received photos when we were away for 20 day. Best experience and greatest confidence in care while we are away GREAT. GREAT. GREAT Ned And Lisa Link for Bentley and Cooper

I love this place and my dog does too! It's in the country they get to smell the air and be socialized with other dogs, while being who they are individually. I feel like my dog gets the attention she needs while staying safe. And I love the stuff they are receptive and caring and reliable. Thanks so much for being there camper good puppy!

Our Aussie loves this place. We do daycare once a week and board occasionally. I've recommended to every Aussie owner I come across that lives in town. my Aussie owner friends have also jumped on board and agree - camp good puppy is the best you can get for an Aussie. They run around on 5 acres with their friends and come home exhausted. Human side is a bit flawed - communication can be sometimes imperfect and occasionally frustrating, but really it's small compared to how happy my dog is here.

They are really good people and very professional. Tip: They have a system in place that works well for good reason. Be super clear about your routine, ask questions, and be ready to be flexible.

I thought this would be a great place for a dog to be able to run and have fun with other dogs and get all of her energy out however we ended up having a couple of issues. We took our dog there several times after going there a couple weeks the first injury was a toenail that got ripped out. That time they were kind enough to let us know so we could get her to the vet and get it handled.

The final straw was when we picked her up and she was exhausted, she had a slight limp and they just said she played hard and nobody mentioned anything else that went wrong. After getting home and seeing her still limping around I called to ask if anyone had more information about what could've caused it because it wasn't getting any better.

I was told that no one saw anything that had gone wrong and that she probably just pulled a little muscle and would walk it off. The next day she woke up with her paw swollen as big as a tennis ball. Upon taking her to the vet she had two broken toes. Needless to say after several hundred dollars in vet bills as well as eight excruciating weeks of her being in a splint and unable to be active she is now back to normal.

When I called and spoke to the owner and let her know what had happened all I got was we're sorry to hear that. I would caution people that bring their dogs here to know that their dogs are left to roam out there in the field with holes, wood other dogs and other objects that can do harm when they are not being closely supervised. I prefer to have some place that can tell me if something happens to my dog what the heck happened.

They didn't seem to care that they had no clue and didn't inform me upon pick up or that it even happened at all. Overall it was just very disappointing experience since I had high hopes for this place.

We boarded our two small dogs there for four nights. Prior to this, we had to do an interview and a [not free] "trial" day of daycare before they would agree to boarding our dogs. Some of their staff lacked basic customer service skills, but I attribute that mainly to their youth/lack of life experience. Regardless, the dogs did fine. They seemed well-treated and relatively happy when we picked them up after our vacation.

Most of the other kennels in the area give a fairly substantial discount if you board more than one dog in the same kennel. Camp Good Puppy doesn't do that, so the final bill was pretty spendy ($260 for four days, not counting the "trial" day of daycare), but the peace of mind of leaving the dogs in capable hands made it worth it.

This place is really sweet. Our dog has gone there several times for long periods (a week) and comes home happy as can be and very tired. When we get there, she drags me to the gate, and they have such a great routine that she arrives and runs right in as if it is her home. They let the dogs play on the acreage, then take them in for rests. Our dog is a bit.enthusiastic, and they put her with dogs that appreciate her enthusiasm.

They supervise closely so that, if something should happen, they can intervene immediately. I know these are dogs, and things happen, but we have never had a serious problem. They are happy to administer meds if needed and keep an eye on food to make sure they are eating. They suggested I bring some canned food next time to encourage her to eat.excellent idea.

They keep information very organized and easy to access. They don't ever let me leave without having all needed information at hand. The first time we took her there I came to pick her up and, as I was getting her, a guy with a hose walked by and said, "Goodbye, April!" In a single day, everyone there learned her name. That single thing told me that they really care about the dogs.

Now I said April's name and they know who I am. Anyway, I highly recommend boarding here. The cost is comparable to leaving your dog in a cage at the vet, but the care is beyond excellent. They also do daycare, so if you are curious, take your dog there for the day and see how great it really is.

Pretty much the cutest place ever! Our little pup comes home so happy and worn out after a day at Camp Good Puppy. All the employees are very helpful, friendly, and they take great care of our dog.

The facilities and staff at Camp Good Puppy are excellent. They carefully review your questionnaire regarding your dogs temperment, what they eat, what socialization they have had etc. Then they take the dogs for a trial walk around and after that then a trial day care day before they will accept them for day care or boarding. I truly appreciate that extra care and concern. Unfortunately, the first full day of day care, my girl puppy scaled a high wooden fence and went after a chicken.

One of the camp staff got to her after just a few pulled feathers from the chicken, but that is a big no-no and I understand why she can't go back. I wish I could continue to take her there as she had a great time and was worn out (in a good way) with all the excercise, play time and socialization. I highly recommend Camp Good Puppy to anyone who has dogs in their life and wants to be assured that they are well taken care of.

My dog spent the day there in preparation of boarding him for a couple nights. They were very nice and extremely informative. My dog was very happy when I picked him up, and was wore out for the rest of the day. I feel safe knowing he will be there when I am gone. I have now boarded my dog three times and he is like family to them. The manager and staff is amazing. My dog loves this place and so do I!'
