Registration

You can inquire about availability for your dog’s stay at Camp Woof either by email or by phone. The email address is campwoofohio@gmail.com and the phone number is 740-747-8600.

Registration Steps For Returning Clients:

1. Call or email regarding availability and with any questions.

2. To confirm a reservation notify us that you want to book the dates and give us your planned drop-off and pick-up times. If you are uncertain you can estimate and you can advise us of changes later. Note that an inquiry about availability is not a reservation. You do not have a reservation unless you have a confirmation email.

3. You will receive a confirming email. IMPORTANT: if you do not receive a confirming email within two days there is a problem and you should contact us immediately. Your confirming email is your “receipt.”

4. Read your confirming email carefully and keep it for your records. Let us know asap if there are changes.

Registration Steps For New Clients

1. New clients should follow the steps above with only one difference. The first time you come to Camp Woof you will be asked to make a 50% deposit when you make a reservation. This is because we have been having late cancellations and no-shows, but these are never from repeat clients. After your first time at Camp Woof you will not be asked to post a deposit again.

2. After making the reservation and providing drop-off and pickup times per above, you will receive a an email showing the tentative reservation and explaining how to pay the deposit. It is important that you do this right away. There will be a date in the email saying when the deposit must be received. If it is not the reservation may be cancelled.

3. When the deposit is received you will be sent a confirming email.

For Everyone:

Remember that before your dog checks in we will need a certification from your veterinarian that he is current on all vaccinations (bordatella optional) and is on heartworm prevention in season. We will also need to verify that he is parasite free. We accept whatever vaccination protocol and intervals your veterinarian certifies. You may provide either written documentation or we can call your vet to verify.

Your dog is welcome at Camp Woof whether for a week or longer. However, because we are small by design with a capacity of only 12 dogs, Camp Woof will fill quickly. It is advisable to make your plans and secure your reservation as soon as possible. If you have other questions that are not covered on the Q&A page please email or give us a call. We welcome your visit to Camp Woof, just call for an appointment.

Things to Bring on Arrival Day:

1. Your dog’s buckle collar and ID tags

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 8 pm. 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 behaviorwise or otherwise 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 about $100 instead of the regular $175) call us soon to make arrangements and talk about your dog.
