Services
Dog Boarding
Our boarding service provides a home-away-from-home experience with structured routines matching our daycare program. Dogs receive individual kennels, scheduled meals, and medication administration. The 5-acre property allows outdoor playtime year-round through covered pavilions and climate-controlled barns. Special accommodations include RAW diet storage and late-night feeding options.
Dog Daycare
Daily daycare includes alternating play and rest periods across multiple fields separated by energy level and size. Our trained handlers use positive reinforcement for behavioral guidance while monitoring social interactions. The facility accommodates 30-40 dogs daily with vaccination requirements and initial behavioral evaluations ensuring group compatibility and safety.
Puppy Pre-School
This program focuses on puppies under 7 months with specialized areas separate from adult dogs. Curriculum includes basic commands, environmental exposure, and socialization with people and other puppies. Gradual introductions to older dogs help develop proper social behaviors through structured play-rest cycles and supervised interactions.
Behavioral Evaluation
Mandatory evaluations assess each dog's social, behavioral, and medical history before enrollment. The process includes facility tours, service explanations, and compatibility testing with existing playgroups. This ensures safe integration into daycare or boarding programs while identifying specific care requirements for individualized attention.
Playgroup Management
Dogs are separated into playgroups based on energy level, size, and temperament. Multiple fields allow flexible group adjustments throughout the day. Handlers monitor interactions using positive reinforcement techniques and time-outs when needed. This system prevents overexertion while promoting healthy social development in controlled environments.

Report
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!

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."
