Things to Bring on Arrival Day: 1. Your dog’s buckle collar and ID tags. Make sure tags are securely fastened with heavy duty S clips or rings, not something flimsy. Dogs don’t get collars caught on things here, but they do sometimes play hard and poorly secured tags can come off and get lost. 2. A supply of his regular food if you wish. Food is included in the daily rate but switching foods can add stress so keeping the dog on his regular food can be advisable. Some kennels charge extra for feeding your own food since it is more work for them, but we do not. 3. His regular bed or blanket if you wish. Bedding is provided but you are welcome to bring your own 4. Toys and chews. We have a wide range of toys but if you think your dog would be more comfortable with his own you may bring them. Make sure these are things he may have with him overnight and not things he might choke on. 5. Payment - cash is welcome and we accept local personal checks. We are not set up to accept plastic but can accept credit cards via paypal.com. However this cannot be done on site and must be done in advance. 6. Documentation from your vet showing current vaccinations and parasite and heartworm status. Alternative is if your vet has agreed to provide that information to us by phone. 7. Any medications your dog is on. Note we give these at no additional charge unlike other kennels. 8. Your completed and signed Boarding Agreement and Questionaire if not already submitted. If you can think of anything else we should know about your dog, feel free to use the back of the questionaire. 9. Contact information on how you can be reached while away if possible in case of emergency. If you cannot be contacted you should give us another individual to contact in your absence. 10. Any other information or instructions you feel we should know about your dog. |

Departure Day You may pick your dog up anytime between 8 am and 6 pm with an appointment. If he is picked up in the morning before 9 am there is no charge for the departing day. If pick-up is after 9 but before noon a half-day charge applies. Please let us know what time you plan to arrive and update us if that changes. We want to have your dog ready to go and any of his belongings packed. You may notice when you get home that your dog is tired and wants to sleep. Don’t be surprised! We want dogs to leave Camp Woof tired but happy. Also at departure we will update you on anything of interest behavior-wise or otherwise that we noticed while your dog was with us. We’ll explain any basic training we did and update you on progress with any training you asked us to work on. If you may be interested in our Relationship Training program we can explain it fully. We also very much appreciate you telling your friends about Camp Woof! No advertising or promotion is as powerful as the testimony of a satisfied friend. We’ll be happy to give you some of our business cards to pass out if you’d like to help spread the word. If you will put a “My Dog Loves Camp Woof” bumper sticker on your car, just ask for one. You might even consider a Camp Woof T-shirt or Sweatshirt. They are high quality, totally cute and available to you at cost. Save on our training program! While your dog is being boarded at Camp Woof, why not take advantage of our Relationship Training Program and save three day’s boarding? The program includes three days of boarding, so those three days would be deducted from your regular boarding bill for the stay. The program involves three days here at Camp Woof, then two hours of follow-up in your home with the whole family. It can be used to work on specific problems like pulling, jumping up, shyness or aggression. But mainly the program is to help you and your family understand that to your dog, you are his pack and many problem behaviors are the result of him not getting the kind of structure and leadership a canine expects from the pack. You’ll also learn that being a well-balanced pack is a lot of fun - woof! For more information about the Relationship Training Program, follow the Training button on the left side of every page. And, if you are thinking about adding the program to your stay (making the cost $125 instead of the regular $175) call us soon to make arrangements and talk about your dog. |
