Dog camp

There are numerous dog activities including swimming, canoeing, dock diving, agility, backpacking, hiking, freestyle dancing, bonfires and talent shows.

Dogs are awarded their badges or titles in a ceremony at the end of the camp week.

DSA also offers weekend workshops for those who cannot attend a weeklong camp.

[4][5][6] A doggie boot camp is an intensive program of training away from home with the owner being present to handle the dog, rather than the sending a dog off to "board and train" at the trainer's location without the owner.

Dogs may be taught anything from manners and basic obedience to dealing with behavioral problems that need attention from an experienced trainer.
