About Camp Mutt Dog Training & Boarding
Voted #1 Dog Trainers & #1 Boarding Kennel for several consecutive years. We are not your typical training facility. We do not do assembly line training, as each dog in an individual. We are balanced trainers with psychology-based foundations. We help about 400 dogs & families every year and we take their trust to heart. Camp Mutt is revered as the professional and trusted local dog training facility. Our Camp Mutt owners are Josh Forester and Kandi Burkhardt, both are NC State certified trainers and met through dog training with rare, mutual dog training philosophy and styles. After working together on over 200 severe behavior modification cases, they started Camp Mutt! Welcome to the team!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How much would it be to train to be a service dog?
Like Eric said we would need to evaluate the dog prior to going over pricing. Every owner’s needs are different and can vary the program requirements.
Community answer · Camp Mutt Dog Training & Boarding · 2019-09-21
Prices vary depending on tasks you need the service dog to be able to do. Dog needs to be checked for proper temperament to see if he/ she qualifies.

How much would it be to train to be a service dog?
Best to call them since there are specific requirements for service animals. And, to get pricing too.

What are the prices for 4 day boarding for 2 Pitts?
Hello Michael, Boarding prices are $38 per day ($35 if you are military or first responder). If they cannot go out into group play during the day there is an additional $4 fee per dog per day. If they can go in the same kennel there is a 25% discount for the second dog. All of our prices are on the website if you would like to look. Feel free to contact us if you have anymore questions.

Do the puppies have to be registered to get trained??
The dogs need their shots but it’s only to protect them and the other dogs that go in for training.

Camp Mutt is all around fantastic! The owners Josh and Kandi are very knowledgeable, caring and professional! We took our daughter’s English Springer Spaniel, Oliver, there to train for service work. The things they can teach is amazing! All of their staff is incredible and kind. One last thing that I love is how they only use positive training techniques 💗 Thank you for all you do! We will be taking all our future babies to you!
Told prices for everything
The most trusted and experienced trainers! Truly professional staff and their care for my dogs shows. These people understand dog behavior and help us have a better life with our beloved dogs.
I can say so much here so I'll keep it brief. This place is phenomenal! My pup Zena was difficult. Shes a deaf husky so you can imagine the special attention she required In training her.

I can say so much here so I'll keep it brief. This place is phenomenal! My pup Zena was difficult. Shes a deaf husky so you can imagine the special attention she required In training her. Even with her special needs, Josh and Kandi were very patient with her and me in the process, even if I called to check on her way too much, the staff was always professional and pleasant. Zena became a very well behaved puppy in only a short time(she was boarded and trained for about 3 weeks) and was able to understand commands via hand gestures (what I now call puppy sign language.) It's a huge relief and Zena is much happier as well. The staff was overly professional and helpful throughout the process and I cannot speak more highly of them. Will definitely be scheduling some more time with them for my other babies. Thank you so much everyone!
