First of all, we treat each doggo as if they are our own so they get lots of attention and intimate care. In addition, we can pick up and drop off at your home making it convenient for you!

However, what really sets us apart are the off-leash hikes that we take the doggos on (assuming they don’t have any restrictions that allows us to do so). These hikes allow the doggos to bond with each other and have fun socialization but most importantly, they get their energy out so that when back at camp, they relax and enjoy being with each other. We find too many doggos don’t know how to play in a healthy way and that often times leads to fights/incidents at other facilities.

Yes! We have a staff member who lives onsite and is with the doggos overnight to ensure they are safe and content, as well as to ensure they get one last potty before bedtime around 9-10p.

While we have crates available for those doggos that need them for behavior issues like chewing, marking, humping, or perhaps high anxiety (which giving them their own space allows them to feel safe), most of our doggos stay together on trampoline style beds and/or couches overnight. The crated dogs are still with the other ‘free roam’ dogs so they aren’t isolated or feeling lonely and all the doggos are disbursed between rooms based on temperament and who bonds with each other out on the hike. It’s a home like environment allowing your doggo to feel safe and enjoy their “slumber party” with their friends at camp!

Yes we are fortunate that with the beautiful Utah weather, it allows us to hike the doggos virtually year round. There may be a handful of days out of the year that we have a storm in the morning that would inhibit the safety of the doggos out on the hike. However, for the most part, Mother Nature blesses us with waiting to bring in storms until the afternoon or evening leaving the early part of the day for a beautiful hike. If we feel it is too cold/stormy, we will entertain them at the facility with enrichment activities.

We base each hike on time availability and not so much on distance and it will depend on the time of year (cold/hot) and the trail we use that day as far as how long we are out.

Because most of our hikes are out/back and often times have a turnaround point with an area for them to play, sniff/enrich, and/or rest, we can often adjust the hike to accommodate what doggos are out for the day. We also find our highly active dogs get more “steps” in because they are running out/back to us repeatedly as we call them vs our “velcro dogs” that like to stick by our side and get more attention.

Being in a pack environment in nature also stimulates them differently than just out for a long hike with you so we find they often don’t need multiple hours of hiking, just the right amount to get their energy out and have fun!

We love that no matter what the age or ability of the doggo, we see them enjoying the hike and come back to the facility ready to nap with their friends.

We also offer alternatives for those doggos who are older or injured. We make adjustments by having them either alternate hiking with resting at the facility or skip the hikes and do a walk in the neighborhood or other enrichment activity like puzzles. Especially if they stay with us for an extended vacation, we will watch their moods and/or behaviors to determine if they need a rest and/or socialization break away from the other dogs for a day which usually does the trick!

Let’s discuss during their trial visit and find the solution best for them.

Our mission is to create the happiest place on earth for doggos (think ‘Disneyland for Dogs’) and complete peace of mind for parents. For us, the experience for your doggo is equally as important as the experience for you, the parent. That’s why we pay attention to the little things (daily report cards, communication, accurate and reliable timing and availability, convenience of pickup/dropoff) as well as the big things (doggo safety, med/feeding accuracy, attention, love, and structure). We care for your doggo like we do our own and aim to ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve so they come home happy and fulfilled!

No worries! We can make adjustments by having them either alternate hiking with resting at the facility or skip the hikes and do a walk in the neighborhood or other enrichment activity like puzzles. Let’s discuss during their trial visit and find the solution best for them.

This will vary depending on the type of doggo you have and the training they have received to date.

At a minimum, they need to be old enough to have received their full series of required vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella), which some aren’t complete until around 16-20 weeks of age.

As a general rule, we advise that they need to be potty trained and have had training around recall (and preferably do well with sticking with you off-leash) and boundaries (not jumping on other dogs and understanding when another dog is giving indication of needing space, not wanting to play, etc.).

We have seen puppies as young as 4-6 months pass the trial process (although not as likely without proper training already).

If in question, feel free to reach out to us and we can discuss with you to determine what is best for your doggo’s first time experience!

Used properly like we do, it’s a great tool for peace of mind and the safety of your doggo. As you can imagine, being out in nature and off-leash, many unexpected things can arise (like wildlife, people, etc) and having a tool like this on them helps them to redirect their attention from the “higher-value item” like wildlife, to our commands.

While not all of our doggos need to wear an ecollar (based on their training/behaviors) and if they do, we oftentimes won’t even need to touch their remote, we like to have one on them if possible (even as a backup should wildlife cause the doggos to scatter, etc) so we can get their attention to listen to us and/or locate them (in a worse case scenario).

If you don’t have one, we do have some facility collars on hand to provide (if needed once we see how your doggo does on the trial) and/or we can recommend certain ones that work better than others for our doggos.

If you do have one, we appreciate using it so we continue to use what your doggo is used to (tone, vibrate, stim, etc).

The bottom line is we ONLY will suggest using it if needed for the safety of your doggo based on certain behaviors we observe during the trial and when it used properly. This means to pair the tone/vibration with our voice commands so once they learn to respond to our voice, we no longer need to rely on the ecollar for anything but a backup scenario AND ensuring we praise/reward them when they do respond the way we’d like to motivate obedience. It is never meant/used for punishment and only as a communication tool to reinforce response and protection in dangerous situations.

We’d be happy to discuss further during the trial, or prior if you prefer. We will give our honest opinion if we feel it is even needed for your doggo and will always respect your wishes.

We are very strict with our vaccination requirements to ensure the safety of your doggo and their friends! For that reason, we require them to have current Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus), and Bordetella vaccinations. Also, optional vaccinations we recommend due to hiking and being together as a pack (but not required) are Leptospirosis and Canine Influenza.

If you have questions or concerns about the 3 core vaccinations for your doggo based on age or have been advised by your vet that these are no longer necessary for your senior doggo, please reach out to us and we can discuss.

Great question and thanks for asking!

For daycamp, we ask that you send out their ecollar (if you have one), a coat (depending on the weather), and if your doggo has sensitivity to treats we’d be happy to use yours.

For overnight stays, please send all of the above plus their charger for their ecollar, their own food they are used to eating (preferably in a sealable container or ziploc), medications, and any special items to follow their routine (dental sticks, etc). We don’t need you to send out bowls (although if they eat from a slowfeeder bowl you can send out your own as we have limited availability for ours) or blankets/beds/toys (unless discussed with us around anxiety to where having their own will help to comfort them in their first visits). Note: If they will require their own bed/blanket/toy for comfort, they will be placed in a crate so as not to allow other doggos to utilize it and to prevent resource guarding.

We do have refrigerators/freezers for fresh food storage.

Please ensure all feeding and medication instructions are clear in their online profiles prior to their stay.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of the above, please feel free to reach out to us via text/call at 385-303-6205.

We offer both daycamp and overnights with us! Whether you are wanting your doggo to get exercise and socialization with other doggos while you are working, skiing, or otherwise busy AND/OR you are headed out of town for a quick business trip or longer vacation, we are here to provide the happiest place on earth for your doggo and ensure they are happy and fulfilled when they return home!
