Camp Wannadog

Unfortunately, families often don't really know how find the best dog for them, which is why they sometimes end up with one that just isn't a good fit. Parents get frustrated, dogs get returned, kids are unhappy. Camp Wannadog prevents that by helping kids and their families learn how to pick the right pooch from the start. At Camp Wannadog, kids (approximate age range 9-15) work with a variety of

local pet professionals and a highly screened, temperament-tested mascot to learn the basics of:
canine temperament, training, and grooming and first aid,
local animal laws and requirements, and
humane education principles
At the end of the session, each student receives a Certificate of Dog Readiness and a Camp Wannadog T-shirt. Interested students will also have the opportunity to complete a family dog adoption plan. Additional services such as dog adoption counseling and school presentations also available.
