My dog Argyle LOVES Dogs at Camp. On mornings when we drive to the farm he is deliriously happy in the car as we turn off the highway and on to the country road that leads to his country retreat. When Argyle is a Day Camper he is just as happy when I stop by to pick him up. When we get there he never looks back at me - he's just thrilled to be there again. When I go to fetch him he sometimes looks like he wants to stay. On longer stays he comes home just as happy, healthy and rested - contented and fit - as when I dropped him off. As a busy professional with a demanding travel and work schedule I rely on Dogs at Camp as the best place for my dog. Argyle has boarded there, and always comes back delighted and invigorated. I can tell Argyle gets a fantastic workout with all the other dogs with whom he cavorts the whole days long. We've been going there for just over a year now, since he was but a young pup. The Meet 'n' Greet ensured he was welcomed and accepted by all the other dogs. I researched many dog boarding facilities in the 100 kilometer radius of Toronto, and also up north toward Orillia. Dogs at Camp stood out from the facilities closer to the city, and those in the more rural areas in many ways. In the first instance the owner has clearly given a tremendous deal of thought to the welfare and happiness of his canine guests. He is clearly and absolutely a passionate dog lover, and he knows a great deal about dog psychology, and dog health. And about best practices for a superb facility. The farm has been thought out in every detail with the dogs' welfare in mind, from the building that houses the dogs and keeps them sociable and content to the daily routines and activities that are one of the main reasons all the dogs I have ever met there when coming or going with Argyle seem so very happy to be there. But it's not just the care and thought that has gone into the facility, or the fabulous recreation and stimulation the dogs benefit from. The entire team of "Camp Counselors" are fantastic. They clearly all love dogs, many are dog owners themselves, and you can see they have a direct and loving relationship with all the animals who are in their care. If you research enough dog kennels, dog walking and dog boarding businesses -- as I did before I chose Dogs at Camp -- you can see that some places tolerate dogs more than they love them. Dogs at Camp is so better than all that, and that's what makes it so great. And the dogs know it! And that's why they are all so happy to be there. The staff are all superb in handling and loving dogs. It is evident every time I go there and chat briefly with any one of the employees. If you travel a great deal for business, as I do, eventually you know the hotels where every member of the staff is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, considerate, sympathetic, diplomatic, and a wonderful host. Those places are very rare, but they are a tremendous blessing. Dogs at Camp is like that. One hundred beautiful pastoral acres staffed with a team that really knows dogs, really loves them, and takes care of them like no-one else. They are truly one of a kind. I can't imagine there are many other places that could be as excellent. Owners can be fussy people. And some dog owners may have personal issues and burdens that are of no concern to the dog. I almost never review anything online, in part because there are often just carping trolls out there. But I feel strongly about how great Dogs at Camp is, and I want other dogs to benefit as much as mine does. Dogs are often so very much smarter than their owners. So ask Argyle. He knows. And he will tell you. Woof! read more

I have been referring my friends, family and colleagues to Dogs at Camp for about 14 years as it is the very best facility of it's kind, hands down. The place is beautiful, with an amazing facility, walking trails and a pond...this is truly a resort for dogs. On a number of occasions I have had the opportunity to observe the staff and owner as they facilitate various daily activities to ensure the best possible care of the dogs. They have stringent processes and multiple check points to ensure every dogs needs are effectively managed so they receive the proper care including; special dietary needs, medications, preferred sleeping arrangements etc. The staff are animal lovers and spend quality time with all the dogs playing with them, grooming then and ensuring they are all enjoying their stay and not under stress as can be the case when dogs are in unfamiliar places away from their owners. Anyone who has a dog knows they can get excited when they're playing and can sometimes get a little rough and in an open concept facility with large and small dogs it requires constant attention. The Dogs at Camp staff are trained to be alert and quickly and safely react to any play that may get out of hand or aggressive. Everyone I have ever referred here has had nothing but great things to say about how amazing the place is, how well cared for their dogs are and how happy they are when picked up after a visit to Dogs at Camp. If you have a dog and need a great place for them to be well cared for in your absence, do not hesitate to arrange a visit and see for yourself how wonderful this place is. Your Dog will have the time of his/her life and your mind can be at ease that your best friend is in excellent care. read more

I have been working with, and for, dogs for over 40 years. I currently oversee a large dog training company with 3 locations within the GTA. I have lived with many dogs myself within that time period, and have always found leaving my own dogs with pet professionals to be stressful for me. Just the thought of them being somewhere else can be tough. About 11 years ago I came across Dogs At Camp, in Uxbridge. The owner, Glen, offered me a tour of his facility. He was adamant that he would not want our referrals unless I saw his location. I agreed to visit, and was very impressed with what I saw. The dogs had ample room to run and play, the staff were attentive and looked like they genuinely loved dogs, there was a fantastic pond to take the dogs for a swim and it looked very clean, tidy and organized. I was hooked! Not only did I find a place that I can confidently refer our clients to, but I had found a place that I would love to use for my own canine pack. I cant imagine leaving my own dogs at a better place, and I always feel very confident that they will be well cared for. Now, when we arrive at Camp, my dogs know the street and cant wait to go in and meet all their canine buddies. I am very grateful to the entire staff for taking such great care of my dogs, and allowing me the freedom to go on holidays and not have to worry if they are safe. In fact, as much as they are glad to see me, Im sure they are disappointed see their own holiday come to a conclusion. I cant imagine a better place to leave my dogs, and want to take this time to thank Glen and his entire staff. Gillian Ridgeway Director Who's Walking Who Dog Training read more

Written from the perspective of Murphy - Dogs at Camp Member. Let me share a few thoughts on "Dogs at Camp" and their staff... What a spectacular place for us, your four legged family members...Each week, I look forward to my scheduled days at camp. I wake Mom at the crack of dawn and patiently, ok not so patiently, wait for the command "let's go to camp". Off we go in the car, I arrive and am greeted by human friends (the super friendly staff) and they chat with mom for a minute while I prance with anticipation of bursting through the gate to see my four legged friends. My friends come in all sizes, small ones, big ones and from the moment I arrive, we run, we play, we rest, we run, we play, and did I mention we play!! Sometimes, Mom spoils me and I get to go enjoy a trail walk to the pond for some swimming, if I decide to brave the water (love the garden hose, not sure about the pond really, but it's great to enjoy the scenery). They also offer puzzle time, one on one time with a camp counselor. Recently, Mom let me enjoy a sleep over at camp...so much fun! When I get home after camp, I am pooped...like seriously, I am off to the couch for a nap and prepping for my next camp day. If you are considering "Dogs at Camp", don't give it a second tail wage...I hope to see your four legged family member there... Oh and a word from Mom...The Camp Counselors are friendly, always at the other end of text, welcoming and understanding...Murphy's got it right...great place to take your dog and know they are good in hands and having FUN! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Dogs at camp, but I will try. First off I want to explain that my dog is amazing, but she is a handful. When we first brought Piper to camp, we received such a warm welcome from Tara and her team and decided to move forward with booking her in again and again... and again. Being a covid pup, it was hard to find time to leave Piper alone to gain confidence in being alone, however bringing Piper to camp helped immensely. It allowed Piper to be away from us and be comfortable at the same time and to be able to bring her somewhere so fun eases our mind. Dogs at camp provides a place for Piper to be socialized with other dogs which is beneficial for a dog like her, its also a soft place to lay her head at night when we do need to be away. Leaving her alone in the beginning, Tara knew I was nervous, but Tara sent updates / pictures of Piper snug as a bug sleeping which allowed us to relax. Tara and her team has worked with us multiple times and tried to accommodate us as best as possible when we have ran into sticky situations. They have also kept us in the loop when Piper may have not been feeling her best. They're communication is top notch. I honestly wouldn't trust any other facility with my dog. read more

Our long term relationship with Dogs at Camp spans over ten years with multiple dogs of all breeds and needs. I feel when an organization can provide a consistently high standard of care over such a long period of time it deserves an objective and honest review. We have found any questions or minor concerns raised over the years to be met with clear, open, and professional responses. We remain active and engaged clients because of no reason other than when we mention the word 'camp' to our dog - he is excited and eager to go, can't wait to get out of the vehicle upon arrival with his tail wagging... each and every time. Feel very comfortable in visiting this establishment to see if it is a good fit for your dog. We remain extremely satisfied members of the dog loving community at Dogs at Camp Uxbridge. read more

Our boy Gryffin has been attending Dogs at Camp for two years now, and we couldn't be happier with the care and attention he receives. From the moment we pull up to camp, Gryffin is practically bursting out of the car -- he can't wait to get inside to see his dog and human friends! The staff at Dogs at Camp are incredible! They are always so attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about each dog's well-being. We love that they take the time to engage with Gryffin. It's not just a place to drop him off, it's a second home for him! Communication is also top-notch. Anytime we reach out with questions or requests, the team responds quickly and is always accommodating. Knowing Gryffin is in such capable hands gives us peace of mind every time we leave him there. read more

I have been taking my dogs here for over 3 years. It is by far, the best camp for dogs, in Ontario. I'm surprised at a couple of reviews. I would like to address the review about boarding and emergency contacts . This is a business and, like most businesses, have rules and regulations. It sounds like this person was upset as she had to come home early from a holiday to get her dog. Your contact wasn't available so you had to pick up. Why the nasty review? They are doing their job and following protocol. Second review about kennel cough. I've been taking dogs to camps/doggie daycares for years. It's like taking your child to daycare and they get sick. Is it the daycares fault? I don't think so..... Anyway, had to write as Dogs at camp is simply the best! read more

There aren't enough great things to say about Dogs at Camp! I send both of my dogs once a week in the winter and twice a week in the summer for day camp and we have boarded them on a few occasions for about 4-days at a time - Dogs at Camp is their happy place! I tell them in the morning that it's 'camp day' and they sit by the front door until it's time to go! Between the outstanding staff (Tara and crew), the great facility and property, it's the only place we've boarded our dogs and felt completely at ease - we don't worry about them at all while we're away. Dogs at Camp has accommodated us many times and are always happy to work with us to ensure our dogs are safe, happy, loved and best of all, tired. It's the best treat you can give your dog! read more

We have a family dog who gets the benefit of going on daily trail hikes at Dogs at Camp. Being a Chocolate Lab, he is obsessed with swimming in their pond all summer long, exploring the various trails (they have 100 acres!), and playing endless fetch with sticks. The camp offers lots of outdoor time of pack play, but the extra services are a nice cherry on top for those looking to give their dog different stimulation. Trail hikes (and the other offered add-ons) come with videos too, so you get to see them enjoying the extra activity! Not every dog is accepted to Dogs at Camp either, as they do a screening process during their tours. There is peace of mind knowing that the dogs who board at Camp are dogs who genuinely have a great time. read more

We brought our pup here for the first time recently while we were out of town and I could not be more happier. I was so worried my pup would miss us and have a horrible time, but my fears were very quickly calmed when I got my updates. The picture and videos really proved to me that he was having a blast and wasn't missing us too much! From the spacious grounds to the wonderful staff who went out of their way to calm all our fears and the pricing (with everything that's included, it's actually really decent) and we could not be happier with our camp experience!! We will definitely be returning customers!! Thank you so much to Tara and all the staff for making Spencer feel at home while he was away from home! Highly recommend. read more

When we adopted our current dog in 2012, one of my main concerns was to find a good boarding facility for her. I found the web site for Dogs At Camp and the rest is history! She has stayed there many, many times over the last few years, anywhere from one to seven or eight nights and each time has been a very positive experience. She also goes for day camp when I have a busy day and not enough time to spend with her-she comes home tired and content and I have no guilty feelings. She loves the staff and pulls and tugs to get in the office when we arrive. I always have peace of mind when she's there, knowing she's being well looked after. I always tell people that Dogs At Camp is her second home! read more

If I could give them more stars I would! We love Dogs at Camp and highly recommend them for boarding your dog. I have many friends who have heard my happy reviews and didn't hesitate to send their dogs as well. Best staff, incredible facilities and they can't do enough to give our two labs a great stay. One of my labs has anxiety and she loved Dogs at Camp immediately. To this day she still runs right in and doesn't look back. Their staff is so warm and friendly, and they also ensure there are no aggressive dogs at camp by scheduling a meet and greet before booking. This is so reassuring! Don't hesitate to send your dogs here. They will love it and come home healthy and happy. read more

We and our two boisterous 100lb each black labs adore Dogs at Camp, and we enthusiastically recommend it. The procedures are organized, all the facilities are spotless, and our dogs are always very happy to go there, and are relaxed and well exercised when we pick them up. Every person we've dealt with has been professional, happy and kind. The facility and its programs are designed with care, knowledge and love for dogs. All the staff have developed a relationship with our dogs. It's a great feeling to drop our dogs off at Dogs at Camp and know that they will be so well taken care of. read more

The employees at Dogs at Camp are professional, caring and truly love dogs. This is our third year bringing the dogs to Dogs at Camp and we have never had a problem. Once we turn on to the Marsh road Bailey and Winston start to get excited. They know exactly where they're going. When we pick them up at the end of the day, they're tired. They have had a great time. I would recommend Dogs at Camp with out hesitation. I wouldn't hesitate to board the dogs either. I can't say enough about how great this place is. It gives us a piece of mind knowing that the dogs are well looked after. read more

I can't say enough about the staff and the camp itself. Our dog is fairly nervous and takes some time to adjust to camp life. They go over and beyond to make him comfortable and relaxed while he is there. Their facilities are clean and have a massive fenced in play area. I love that he is not kept in a small area and can roam during the day. He always comes home happy and tired which means to me that he's had a great time. They always communicate upon pickup about how his stay went which I appreciate. I would highly recommend Dogs at Camp! read more

There is no better place to be a dog than Dogs at Camp! It is such a comfort knowing my dogs are being lovingly looked after; hiking trails, swimming and playing with their puppy pals. My two both come home exhausted and HAPPY after each and every visit. We cannot even say the word "Camp" without them loosing their minds! I will never hesitate to praise or recommend their services. Wish I could add more stars! read more

I just booked my girls for their first camping experience! I have boarded them at a number of different places throughout Ontario over the past 12 years and I have only just learned of the incredible and unique experience offered by Dogs at Camp. For the first time I actually feel like they may have more fun than I will on my ski weekend! Thank you for the peace of mind that your camp offers! read more
