Large outdoor play spaces on 10 acres

​

Dogs need the outdoors for many reasons, including physical activity, mental stimulation and socialization. In today’s busy world, we forget that we all belong to nature. Regardless of dog size and age, they require exercise to stay mentally and physically healthy. Without it, their joints, muscles, mental acuity, and behavior can be impacted long term. It’s in their nature: they are descendants of wolves and being outdoors is inscribed in their DNA. Dogs love being outdoors because it offers them a sense of that hereditary freedom. When you fulfill their basic needs, they thrive.

 

   We are all about Quality, not Quantity

​

We have extensive outdoor and indoor areas, however we limit to 15 pups per program to provide individualized attention. Our 6to 1 dog to camp counselor ratio ensures top-notch care for the dogs that we commit to. Studies show that small play groups offer the best atmosphere for dog socialization as well as the best structure to carefully supervise them. 

 

   Structured and peaceful environment

​

At home, dogs have a routine, including nap and play times. We do not do all day play, why? Because dogs can get over stimulated and overly tired, have you noticed that your pup takes several naps through the day?  We provide similar routines which keeps dogs happy and relaxed. We have separate spaces for play and nap time so your pup gets a true nap time without other pups invading their space, distracting or a busy environment. ​

​

  Continuity of training

​

Dogs have boundaries and rules in place just as you would at home which sets them up for success. Your dog will also receive an array of mental, physical and social enrichment activities, along with one-on-one time. Our days include maintaining basic manners such as not allowing dogs to jump up uninvited or push through thresholds.

 

  Our Camp Counselors

​

All of our Camp Counselors have years of combined professional experience working with dogs and other animals and have chosen dogs as their long term career. We continue ongoing training and education to expand their knowledge as much as possible.  From cleaning to customer service, our Camp Counselors pride themselves on their professionalism, respectfulness and integrity in everything that they do. Our team frequently attends formal trainings including dog behavior and safety classes.

​

  We love them all​

​

No matter if your pup does not like playing with other pups and prefers human attention, we love them all. We have play groups with the largest Great Danes to the tiniest Tea Cup Chihuahuas. Our staff have a wealth of knowledge about various breed's behaviors and traits.  Additionally, each member of our staff is pet CPR certified and completes hours of behavioral based training courses to ensure your dog's safety is paramount.

 

           Small play groups

​

Small play groups offer the best socialization for dogs. At Canine Field of Dreams, its important to us that every dog is having fun. Dogs are matched with dogs that enjoy the same activities with the same energy levels so that their playgroup is also meaningful to them.  Some dogs feel overwhelmed in large play groups or with mix-matched energies and can become reactive. Our supervised small play groups ensure that your pup is being advocated for and has the right friends.

 

  Communication and daily updates

​

We will stay in touch with you and even when your pup is not with us we love hearing from you! We send daily updates and notify you of any changes right away.
