Two Paws Up Happy Camp for Dogs is a fully socialized doggie day camp and overnight boarding  facility, licensed to operate in

All dogs who spend 2 nights or more are given a camp bath when they go home.  Two Paws Up now has gull service grooming available, as well.  If you would like to have your dog groomed during his stay, just let us know when your dog arrives. 

We have several buildings for your dog to come in out of the rain, or nap in the shade on a hot summer day. Outfitted with doggie beds and futons, even our most discriminating guest can find a comfortable place for a nap or a break between activities.  We have wading pools for dogs that like to splash or play in the water.  There is also a grass play yard and a bark yard for dogs that like to play ball or enjoy a game of chase.  We have a sandbox for dogs who like to dig, play in the soft sand or just like a quiet corner to rest.

As much as possible, we provide socialized overnight sleeping  accommodations in our cabana, our sun porch, and our just completed bunkhouse and grooming area, where we have a separate room for smaller, older or timid dogs.   We also have five individual kennels for dogs that prefer to sleep alone or who are not quite ready for socialized sleeping.  During the day, these kennels are used as time outs or, on occasion, private dining rooms.

Mealtimes are morning and evening. Puppies and high  activity dogs receive a midday meal as well.  Food is      included in the price for overnight dogs.  We feed Flint River Ranch premium dog food in a choice of regular dog and puppy, lite/senior, lamb, rice & millet, or fish & sweet potato.  If you prefer, you can bring your dog’s regular food. Medications and supplements are dispensed at no extra charge. We also offer our guests treats throughout the day to keep their energy up.  Treats consist of various cookies from our bakery, as well as raw fruits and vegetables.  With our own doggie bakery on the premises, there is often the opportunity to “taste test” a fresh batch of treats.  If there is anything your dog is allergic to or you would prefer he not eat, just let us know.

During the summer months when days are long, we often take a leisurely walks around the property after dinner, or play a quiet outside game.  After a day of play and exercise, when it is time to go to bed, most of our guests are more than ready to go to sleep in a soft doggie bed or on a futon.  Just before the lights go out, we start playing what we call “sleep music” to quiet everyone down and  relax them into a gentle slumber.  The music plays throughout the night to keep out any distracting noises and allows the dogs to sleep peacefully.

Why Doggie Day Camp for Dogs?

• Is your dog home alone all day while you work?
• Do neighbors complain about excessive barking?
• Does your dog stay overweight no matter how little you feed him?
• Does your dog’s demands for attention overwhelm you when you come home?
• Does your dog tire easily from short spurts of activity?
• Does your dog become anxious or destructive when left home alone?
• Is your dog in need of dog or people socialization?
• Do you need a happy place for your dog to go when service people come to your home?

An active lifestyle keeps your dog physically fit and mentally alert.  Healthy dogs live longer and require fewer trips to the vet.  If your dog is overweight, the answer is not to feed less, but exercise more.  If your dog is likely to suffer from hip, knee or elbow problems, the best medicine is consistent exercise to improve muscle tone.  After a visit to Happy Camp, your dog will return home tired and content.

Dogs prefer to be in a pack.  It is not in their nature to spend their days alone.  They have a language all their own that helps them communicate and resolve differences. Dogs learn “doggie etiquette” through play and interaction with other dogs.  Dogs who have not socialized with other dogs often cannot speak or understand this language. This can cause miscommunication, leading to conflicts and at times, aggression.  How does your dog behave around other dogs?  If you are not sure, then chances are your dog could use some socialization. A good way to accomplish this is in a  structured, supervised environment such as Two Paws Up Happy Camp for Dogs, which allows your dog to exercise, make friends and become socialized, all at the same time.  

If you are not convinced, try letting your dog visit for a day.  Then brace  yourself for the excitement the next time he visits our Happy Camp or sees the Happy Camp van.
