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 Google
What 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.
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.

Camp Mutt is the only place I am okay with leaving my dog for an extended period of time. The staff are extremely helpful and the owners are great dog trainers. They are all professional and knowledgeable in what they do. I’ve had my dog boarded before with a different business and he came home shaking and seemed afraid. After staying with Camp Mutt, he came home playful and more obedient! Definitely recommend Camp Mutt for any dog training and boarding needs!

Seriously amazed at how well my dog is listening after doing their board and train program! The staff is amazing and so friendly. I picked her up yesterday and already she is having so much fun training with me at home, I can tell she is so much happier. I was so hesitant to put out the money but please send your dogs here, it’s so worth it for you and your pup.

Everyone we have encountered at Camp Mutt has been super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, especially our main trainer, Jerica. Our Golden-doodle stayed with them and underwent training for about five weeks. When we picked her up we could tell that she clearly loved the staff. She has responded well to the training and any time we return for follow-up visits she is excited to go back, which tells me that she has been treated well. On another note, on our way to our last visit to Camp Mutt we picked up a screw in our tire which resulted in a flat. Josh, the owner, stayed after closing time, came outside and helped us change our tire in the dark. We truly appreciate their kindness and professionalism!

My two dogs we’re boarded there for a whole week. My dogs are very hyperactive and talkative and one takes daily medication. Camp Mutt did an incredible job handling both of them, and my dogs were even more well mannered when I picked them up vs when I dropped them off. Amazing work, and I will definitely use them again!

I just took a tour of the facility and it is amazing! The inviting reception area has the best artwork of different dogs on the walls. Everything is very well organized and the dogs have expert care provided to them all day. I have 3 doggos all in different stages of life and they will absolutely accommodate all their individual needs when I board them here including ensuring they have their medications on time daily. The facility itself is very clean and superbly well maintained! I personally seen the staff immediately cleaning up and sanitizing all messes without hesitation. Kya is so knowledgeable about all the programs offered and has a very professional and kind demeanor to her. Without a doubt I feel confident that my pups would be in the most qualified hands that the Jacksonville area has to offer. This business may look small from the road but, it is so large and roomy! I can't even imagine the years of training that this staff has in combined experience alone. ❤️❤️❤️
