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.

So before even booking me and my girlfriend were super nervous, not because of Camp Mutt but just because both our dogs dislike other dogs and can get into barking fits and we were just unsure of how they would act and nervous to be without them. Boy were we being irrational, if you are finding yourself wondering can camp mutt handle my dog then the answer is most definitely yes! They have a way with animals, even when dropping off they were calmer and stayed calm when picking up! They had a wonderful week filled with 1 on 1 play time and cuddles and feeding our food and one of our dogs even had his medicine given by the staff. I can honestly say we didn’t pay for training but our dogs have come back calmer and relaxed. If you need boarding for an emergency or before going away this is the place for you! We have not tried obedience training yet but I am so confident that would be amazing as well! Thank you so so much for taking care of our babies like they were yours! We owe you so much for the peace of mind!
My dogs loved it. Staff was very kind and professional.
They give you weekly updates on your pupper, and if you ask they can give you a tour of the facility! I trust these folks with my dog child.

I could not praise this company more! They have been so amazing and helpful with us after our dog was unable to break her triggers that turn her dog aggressive against our other dog but they cared for her like she was their own for months while we struggled to find a home where she would be the only pup. No matter how much we may have worried about imposing our problem on them they went above and beyond to assure us they want to see the best for her. They also showed so much compassion for our other dog who she injured 10 mins before they finished their time in training. They have continuously checked on him and reminded us that he still has his one on one trainings. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their pup trained as they really do love their jobs because they love the animals not because they just need money. If I ever travel and need to board our dog they will be my first call!
