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.

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.

Question on Google
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.

Dahlia and I did training with Kristen and it has made life so easy. Before training I had worked on at home training and it worked but I still had trouble getting her to respond to certain things. On the first session I went in thinking it’s gonna be forever and Kristen quickly showed me how to properly work with dahlia and 99% of my issues were solved that day. After that we spent time expanding her skills and me learning more about proper training. Biggest thing I learned was if I want dahlia to do better I have to put twice as much effort into training her. Now I have my second dog Eve fully trained using all the same training I learned with Kristen!

Excellent service IF you can get your trainer to show up. Three times I missed over time pay because of a reschedule. Of course, you have to call them to find out why your just sitting at the house waiting. The results are great. The professionalism needs work. Oh, their mailbox is full. So when you call to settle your account, don't worry about leaving a message. That's the extra bit service you get.

We recently completed a 6-week training program with our dog Scout. He has always been a great dog, but pulled to the end of his leash while walking and needed some other behavioral modifications. Steve gave us and Scout amazing techniques which started working the first day. We learned as much as Scout did, maybe more. It’s a pleasure to walk Scout now, and we are all better pet owners due to the amazing training at Camp Mutt.

They're amazing! My baby had so many things that I was just lost on how to approach it. They gave him the reset he needed and helped me learn how to manage him better.
