How do I prepare my dog for doggie daycare ?

First, please make sure your dog is fed early enough in the morning so that it has been able to digest most of it's morning meal and so that it has been able to eliminate. If you are not able to feed your puppy, who still requires 3 feedings per day, with enough time to allow it to go to the bathroom, please wait and we will feed your pup a small morning meal once we reach a destination. Older dogs should just skip that morning meal if you did not allow enough time as sometimes it is almost best for your dogs comfort if you have not had time to feed him or her. Travel and playtime with other dogs on a full stomach and bowels, as you can imagine, can be very uncomfortable so please set aside plenty of time.

Also, make sure your dog has it's collar and tags available and we are ready to go. When we roll up you can be sure your dog will be ready to go on that day's fun and adventure!

Why doesn't your doggie daycare have a facility ?

We have had a facility and we most likely will one day again. But at this time we really enjoy the freedom that mobile daycare provide. It allows us to explore, with your dogs, the fun and beauty that San Diego has to offer. We never get bored and neither do our happy campers. Our unique services provides us the ability to venture to many locations around the County while providing your dogs with exceptional social and behavioral learning opportunities that no other doggie daycare provider offers.

Who is John's Natural Dog Training Company ?

We are affiliated with San Diego's #1 Dog Trainer John's Natural Dog Training Company. Jenny and all of her trainers have worked with, currently work for or have trained with John in some capacity and as such are well versed in dog behavior and obedience training. In turn Camp4Dogs is the only doggie daycare provider John currently refers as he knows we know dogs!

What is the best way to socialize my dog ?

Dogs leave their littermates socialized. However, sometimes puppies do not receive the full benefit of this socialization as they may be rejected by the mother or leave the litter too soon. Health issues can also cause problems. Early training can help as can daycare. But, training with the right trainer and placement with the correct daycare is essential. We always suggest, if you have any concerns, seeking the advice or consultation of a respected trainer/behaviorist.

When is the best time to introduce my dog to doggie daycare ?

Definitely after fear impact stage and after all vaccinations have been administered. Also, if your puppy has gone through some beginning obedience training this too is helpful. Please call us for more information - 760-214-6085
