Walter is our new English Bulldog pupperoni (11 months) who loves to be around other dogs, though still learning Ps and Qs. We wanted to find a new daycare for them and came across this lovely place on yelp. I emailed them to set up a visit and they were very nice and accommodating. Everyone is sweet, you can tell they love our animals and they are professional. We stopped in on a Saturday morning and were able to check out the play area from the window in the lobby (also watched the video on their website) and they let us into the suites area since there were no dogs in there. When Ruth stays for the day, she stays in their suite and probably loves the break from Walter. Walter goes into the playgroup with the other pups. They asked for all the vaccinations and will ask for updated vaccines as well, which we love and feel very comfortable with. We know we stay up to date with everything and we want to be sure our pups are around other pups that have everything updated as well. We love the report cards. Especially since Walter is so young, we like to see how he is doing with the other dogs. I added some of the pics from their recent visit. Just look how happy he is and Ruth loves the big suite and comfy bed. We are very happy with this wonderful daycare.

Happy I found Camp Bow Wow during my dog daycare/boarding research! While it's convenient since…read moreit's in Sports Arena Blvd, that area can also get very crowded/congested and would say not the best area. However, this location is tucked away behind Panda Express. My first visit was to tour the facility and one of the staff and manager shared more information with us and answered all of my question - they were great. The facility itself is clean and pretty spacious, and they have an indoor/outdoor play area for the dogs. What really stood out was the initial meet and greet, with a focus on making your dog feel comfortable and assess their temperament. I felt reassured that all the dogs passed this and are properly socialized. My dog has since gone to daycare and really enjoyed himself. I was also happy that I could view him on the live webcam and they sent pictures of him smiling and playing. Great customer service and some cute well-behaved dogs here. Check them out!

I've gone back and forth for months trying to decide if I should share our experience and…read moreultimately have decided it may be helpful to others. I'll start by saying I had made a positive review at one point but it appears it has been removed. We had been going to Camp Bow Wow since my pup was 4months old. She was loved by all dogs and people and every time had such a great experience. We were sad when they closed after the previous owner left and were so happy when they reopened. My Beddy was a regular, went at least once a week and boarded multiple times. She was even crowned "Camper of the Month". After we moved further north, we still came about once a week. All that to say we LOVED Camp Bow Wow. I took Beddy to camp to play with her friends on her 2nd birthday in October 2025 and it was an awful experience. We have a yard so I don't need her to have space to run. I specifically took her to camp to play with her friends on her birthday. I got a text about halfway through the day, saying she had been in a "scuffle", was ok but would be rotated between yards due to her high energy. Beddy is always high energy. The team knows this and we had never had an issue. When I went to pick her up, come to find out, she was kept in a separate "yard" almost the entire day. There was no mention of her being aggressive or a danger or unmanageable and yet she was isolated almost all day. I was devastated and Beddy seemed sad when I brought her home, probably because she spent all day trying to figure out why she couldn't play but could "smell the others". Leading up to this, I had noticed lately that there were A LOT more dogs attending camp and the staff was always new/rotating. My guess is yes, my Beddy is high energy but because they are more concerned about the money/numbers, they had too many dogs to handle one that may require some redirection here and there. And my guess is she was kenneled most of the day. Not in some "extra yard" by herself. This is not ok. Especially considering how long we had been going there and had never had an issue. I asked for the owner to call me, she never did. I could understand if Beddy was having an off day, wasn't getting along with the dogs, was a threat...but when I asked if that was the case they said no. She was kept separate to make their job easier because they had too many dogs. Period. Other things to note, they use squirt bottles to redirect dogs and I once saw them pull a dog hard by the collar across the entire yard when it didn't appear there was a major issue (there was no apparent threat). These are not ways I would expect my dog to be handled. On their social media they share posts that are not from their facility which is deceiving and they never asked me for proof of updated vaccines when Beddy's expired. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a hard day, etc but after the birthday incident we have not been back and I would second guess bringing your dog here.

I had a difficult time getting a hold of this business, even though I signed up for an in person…read moretrial via the website a few days early. I walk by the location quite a bit- and we are looking for a smaller day care place for my pup. I did not hear back from them until the day and time of my scheduled meet and greet had passed. I tried to call a few times leading up to my scheduled meet and greet, no answer. No confirmation email. At that point I thought this place must be out of business. The feedback I got was that they did not think my puppy would be a good fit because of his mix. They texted me to tell me this, and said it was because my puppy has German Shepherd and Husky in his mix. However, those breeds make up less than 5% of his DNA- so I just think that is funny. When he is majority cattle dog and Pyrenees. Oh well! Was looking forward to trying this place because it seemed small and like a good fit for my little guy. On to the next!

Donovan always keeps us updated and sends us pictures/ videos of our boy playing ball in the back yard or hanging with the other pups.

We will always be coming back here and highly recommend to everyone! Very friendly people and always very friendly doggos! 10/10!!

Once again I'm back to sing the praises of this spot…read more This past week I used their boarding service for the first time. I had a family emergency and had to leave town very last minute, like I bought a plane ticket at 5:30am that left at 8:30am kinda last minute. I was so nervous about leaving my pup behind but as soon as I got to Camp I felt better. He loves everyone there so much and they are so sweet to him. I rushed in with a bag full of food and supplements and no time to leave instructions for any of it. The staff, particularly Dakota (thank you dear!) was very helpful and understanding of my situation. She even helped me find a good spot to leave my car so I could Uber to the airport. They took care of everything for my dog so I could focus on getting home to my family. While I was out of town I was sent pictures and updates of Smooch daily and of course it was so great to be able to watch him on the mutt cams! I also love that it's all cage-free. I couldn't stand the thought of my sweet boy being in a kennel all night and I much prefer him sleeping in a giant cuddle puddle of dogs. If I didn't already absolutely love Camp Run-A-Mutt I definitely would now. I feel like it's been about three years I've been bringing Smooch here and I have never had a bad experience. If you are looking for a daycare with exceptional staff and friendly dogs, this is the place for you!

If you bring your dog here I HIGHLY recommend rethinking your decision. I cried sitting in the back…read moreof their parking lot listening to the way the woman is treating these animals in the back. The dogs were barking and crying and she was screaming and cursing at them to shut the f up and at many points it sounded as if the dogs were being hit because every time she would scream at them it would go silent and then the dogs would start whimpering. I am so heart broken and in complete disbelief. My husband didn't let me get out the car to go tell her something because we have our children with us but if I could've I would've treated her the same way these dogs are being treated. Please do not leave your fur babies here!!! Go to the overflow parking or the holiday inn, you'll be directly where all the dogs are fenced in and you can hear how they are being treated.

Hi fellow dog lovers. I used this very personal business for my two little ones. I took a weeks…read morevacation in Mexico and having done some research chose to use this little family run service. My daughter sent messages daily to ask about the "babies". I felt she was too much, but she was always answered promptly and sent short videos of them enjoying their stay. One of the dogs developed an ear infection (common for her) while there. I was sent text messages with pictures immediately and Stitxh even cleaned her ears which gave her some relief. Stitch knows his business very well and treated my dogs spectacularly. I had no worries or concerns. Well, maybe a little to get my dog to the vet but she just had dirty ears from the constant hair growth in there. I would highly recommend using this service if you want the best care for your fur babies and want them in capable hands. Was impressed with all the knowledge!

He's still extra energetic, but when we've had to get control, his training is key. He also got injured playing and had to undergo a major knee surgery... THANK GOODNESS for the training! It's been hard, but again, training has been key to success. Looking forward to next steps sometime after rehab is done.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but after our experience with Sara, I truly feel…read moreshe deserves one, especially for all the dog lovers out there who might be as nervous as we were. This was the very first time we left our 1-year-old dog with someone. He's almost 80 pounds of pure energy, a big, happy, very enthusiastic boy so choosing the right person felt incredibly important. I was anxious and very cautious about who we could trust. From day one, Sara exceeded every expectation. She didn't just "watch" our dog -- she worked with him every single day with so much passion, patience, and love. When he came home after two weeks, the difference was remarkable. He was calmer, more focused, and able to control his excitement much better. Walking him used to be a struggle -- he pulled constantly and tried to grab everything he saw on the street. Now, our walks are so much easier and more enjoyable. Of course, there's no magic in dog training -- consistency is key, and we continue to reinforce what he learned -- but his biggest issue, jumping on people, improved dramatically. The foundation she built made such a difference. What also gave us tremendous peace of mind was her communication. Sara sent frequent updates, photos, and videos showing us what he was learning and how he was doing. On top of that, we received detailed daily emails about his overall condition. It made us feel completely reassured that we had chosen the right person. She even gave him several baths during his stay! Her place is incredible , very secure, spacious, and extremely dog-friendly. It honestly felt like a big farm where dogs can feel free yet safe. Sara is truly passionate, caring, and loving. Her knowledge of different breeds and her training methods are impressive and effective. You can clearly see that she genuinely loves what she does. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner, no matter the age or breed. Leaving your dog with someone for the first time is never easy, but with Sara, you can feel confident your dog is in the best possible hands.

I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

The moment Chewie saw Chris, he recognized him and greeted him with such joy! Minding his manners of course. He's too smart to behave like a brat in front of his trainer. I recently reached out to Chris for advice on redirecting Chewie when greeting people since he sometimes forgets his manners and has no sense of personal space. Chris took the time to demonstrate effective techniques and offered practical solutions I'll be implementing right away. Chewie and I are incredibly grateful for Chris's continued support and the excellent training from Cosmo K-9 Obedience. Chewie has come a long way. I can't image life without the professional guidance and support from Costco K-9 Obedience.
