Great place to get you and your pet on the same track!

I couldn't reach them on the phone so I drove to the place and saw the property. There were no outside facility/ fenced in areas for day camp dogs to run, potty, or play any outdoor activity. Just a building and a parking spaces with it.No one ever answers the phone directly. I called at different times during the day and on even different days. It only goes to the voicemail. Get a return call with minimum answers to your questions. 'I have to talk to the trainer and I'll get back to you' is what I got all 4 times. When she called me back with an answer I had another question, she had to find out an answer to the new question, and so on. Finally, I asked to speak to an owner/trainer but were not available to take a call. Really?Did more research and found very available, up front, nothing ambiguous, and straightforward trainers. Of course, I took business elsewhere and am so glad I did.

I take my dog June to Day Camp every Wednesday, and the fact that she is snoring beside me as I type this, is a testament to the fun she has.Before deciding on Canine Campus, I had looked at two other daycare facilities in town, both of which I walked out saying a big "NOPE", but not Canine Campus. The "Camp Divas" that run the show are intelligent, trained and experienced.I also took one of their puppy classes after we added our newest addition, Zeke, and kicked myself for not booking the others, as they had already filled up. I loved the class structure and methods.I've worked in the animal industry for 20 years from clinics to dog walking, and I'm very particular of who gets to hang with my crew, but the women at Canine Campus put my worries aside. They know what they're doing and they do it right! Junie (and I) appreciate you all so much!!

The folks here truly love dogs as if they were their children. More expensive than others in town, but for good reason. Our dog runs in delighted on his daycare days!

My dogs and I loved Canine Campus when we lived in Cville! One of my dogs attended Day Camp and was so excited to go every week. Deven's training sessions were informative with easy-to-implement advice, and Heather was super helpful with training my dog on a nail-scratch board so that he could file his own nails.You won't be disappointed by Deven & Heather!

My pup only stayed here a few times for daycare but the staff were very communicative and accomodating. They definitely know about dog body language and how to appropriately give rest breaks to dogs. Thanks for your care of my nervous GSD!

Canine campus cured my dogs car sickness.My dog used to be so afraid of the car and get so anxious and sick. He would whine and drool everywhere! I tried meds, desensitization everything. He started going to canine campus’s day camp once a week and suddenly no more dool! And no more running away from the car as soon as he hears the doors unlocked. No he runs towards the car because he is that excited to go to dog day camp. He was never this way with his old day camp. It’s amazing. (I do so wish they had live feed cams though I loved getting to watch him play at his old day camp though!)

I went to Canine Campus several weeks ago for a puppy socialization class. The class in it of itself was fine, despite there being a bit of tension between the two instructors from time to time. My biggest problem with the class, and the main reason for myrating, is that for the last fifteen minutes of class, and throughout the socialization class itself, the instructors bashed veterinary professionals. They claimed vets don’t know what they’re doing in regards to nutrition and behavior (without showing their own credentials). As an animal professional myself, and someone who’s worked in veterinary medicine, I was absolutely appalled by how these people were speaking about veterinarians. They perpetuated the stereotype that vets don’t know what they’re doing, and that you’re better off doing your own research, to a room full of clients. I was stunned. Veterinarians have one of the highest suicide rates among professions worldwide (not to mention about 75% of vets that kill themselves work with small animals- ie. dogs) and it’s exactly because of things like this. The instructors being animal professionals themselves, I expected a lot better. I am incredibly disappointed and will not be back.

Best puppy socialization class I've ever attended. I love Devon's instruction and practical explanations. Very highly recommend.

Wow! This is the absolute most amazing place for fur babies (dogs).My girl Tally is 10mo old today, she is a Havanese, and has been going since 3mo. She went through puppy training and socialization and now goes twice a week to hang out with her friends.I can’t get her out of the car quick enough and she is pawing at the door to get in!She absolutely loves Heather, Mary and Courtney! They give ? attention to every dog. They pair them appropriately based on the dog itself, finding the right fit. And it’s not about running them to get them tired, they give them appropriate breaks and make sure they are living their best lives!I can’t imagine a more wonderful experience!If you are considering taking your ? there, stop considering and do it!!#❤️CanineCampus

Absolutely recommend these fabulous folks! Found them from my daughter & “grand-pup” attending and then we decided on getting a pup and knew he had to be trained and have “camp” here! He runs into the facility every time, he is so comfortable & confident! They offer an outstanding variety of services and all are great quality.

We have been taking our puppy to socialization camp & class for the past month now, and we have been really happy with the process. Deven and Heather, in particular, have been excellent. We have learned more about our puppy and how to train her, and we've learned a lot about puppy play styles, which has been helpful as our puppy meets other puppies and dogs. It's been great to see videos of our puppy from the socialization camp. Whenever we get to the parking lot to drop her off at camp, her tail starts going a mile a minute, and she's super happy to see the staff. Later in the day, we can tell she had a full day of fun, as she naps in the car on the ride home.

My pup goes here for daycare and always has the best time/seems so happy at the end of they day. They are all super nice and trustworthy people and I feel completely comfortable leaving him there even though he’s small. It costs more than some other daycares but I think it’s worth it.
