a confident start
Your puppy’s first experiences at daycare matter

We take a thoughtful, age-appropriate approach to introducing puppies to camp life, balancing play with rest and offering gentle guidance every step of the way.

Our goal is simple, to help puppies build confidence, develop social skills, and learn healthy play habits that support them as they grow.

Setting your puppy up

for success

designed for Puppies Ready for Group Play

We offer a gentle introduction to daycare for puppies 16 weeks+, balancing play, rest, and guidance.

Our assessment helps ensure each puppy is truly ready and set up for a positive experience.

To keep our camp community safe and healthy, puppies must have:

  • DAPP (including booster)

  • Bordetella

  • Rabies

Why Starting Early Matters

Early social experiences help puppies:

  • Build confidence

  • Learn healthy play skills

  • Feel comfortable around other dogs and people

Starting young creates the foundation for positive daycare experiences as they grow.

A Day in Puppy Camp

A typical day includes:

  • Short, structured play sessions

  • Plenty of rest breaks

  • Enrichment activities for mental and physical development

We balance fun with calm so puppies leave happy, not overtired. Rest is intentional, it helps puppies process new experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

Setting Puppies Up for Long-Term Success

Puppies learn how to:

  • Play appropriately

  • Rest and settle

  • Navigate a group environment

These early skills carry into adulthood and support confident, well-adjusted dogs.

We also recognize when a puppy may need more time before daycare is the right fit, and we’ll always guide families with that in mind.

New clients begin by creating an account and booking your pup for an assessment.
