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.

Best place in town! We had to leave our 15 yr old Daschound and 3 yr old Aussie there while dropping off my Baby Girl to college. Camp Mutt definitely made this one less thing to worry about! We got pics of them playing and found out the 15 yr old is a "party animal" according to their report card! The pups had a blast, and we didn't have to worry!
My 13 month old Australian Shepard and I just finished Basic Boot Camp. Our trainer was Jerica and she was fantastic. She was courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled at training my pup and I. I could not be more pleased with this training program. Highly recommended!
Absolutely the best boarding and training facility.
Absolutely amazing place! Ginger spent two days there for boarding and came back an obedient, sweet puppy. I will only take her here from now on. Thank you to the awesome workers who took good care of her.
