We have had a very busy year here at Canine Camp-Out and I have to say that I can’t wait for it to slow down! 😅.

Starting May 3rd we will be taking a break from booking new client appointments until June 20th!

This is because I put a lot of work and effort into getting clients the support, appointments, time, and effort that they need to feel seen, heard, and understood in their journey with their dog. Right now with my travel agenda, my family’s needs, and my health I do not feel like I can give it my 110% like I normally do. So to give myself a bit of grace we will be taking a short break from new client appointments.

Returning clients are more than welcome to reach out and discuss what I can do to support you during this time! I can still take appointments via virtual or in person but please keep in mine you may need to be flexible on dates and times as my calendar is chaos right now ❤️

Thank you all for understanding and being so amazing 🤩. I can’t wait to be back with you and your pups this summer ❤️

Sometimes we go a little crazy when we are having fun. Board and train dogs are so fun to play with and socialize and desensitize. ❤️

Pirelli has a tendency to be rude to other dogs when toys are involved so we worked on that tonight for awhile with icee as my control group.

She did really well but towards the end of the session she readjusted on the toy and got my hand in just the right way that locked up my fingers 😂 I always think these “blooper” moments are the best part of training but no one ever shows the ”what the heck just happened…” moments anymore.

P.s.- don’t judge my rug right now Pirelli’s little black hairs are everywhere and it just looks like someone with a black pen tried pointillism on my training room 😂

03/16/2024

Look who is back!!

Due to a family emergency Pirelli had to go home halfway through her Bootcamp. But she is back now to finish it up. Her mama kept up with all her training and she is doing great! She is one special pup ❤️

This year has been a rough one already but these guys keep my world spinning right on course. Each one is so different in absolutely everything they do it can make my head spin sometimes, but the knowledge iv gained from handling each of these big babies is beyond priceless. My pack is what gives me the drive and passion I have for dog training and keeps me motivated to work with all my wonderful clients and their fur pups ❤️

So a big shout out to my top four doggos 🎉🥰

Hello to all you lovely people! A little update here, as of March 23rd, 2024 Canine Camp-Out will no longer have a website. We will just be working off of Facebook for all services, updates, inquiries. This is because our website has become too expensive with very little traffic for me to justify having it at this time. As services ramp up we may bring it back but for now i would rather spend that extra money on equipment for the dogs, enrichment, and advertising aids. Thank You for your continued support!

02/01/2024

Canine Camp-Out will be closed for the next few weeks as we spend time with our loved ones and provide support for our family. We will be back soon, thank you always for your continued support ❤️

01/30/2024

It’s not always about work around here, we do like to take plenty of breaks ❤️

01/29/2024

If you want to be apart of a great cause consider attending this event or donating!

It’s time for another round of shout-outs to these businesses for going above and beyond in helping us support our fight against canine cancer. All have generously donated for our FUNday!

Sometimes you just gotta learn how to turn off your brain and take it all in ❤️ The art of calm can be difficult for younger dogs but there are lots of exercises to help them learn that playtime isn’t all the time!

01/21/2024

The best little lab that ever existed got to go to tractor supply today and smell all the smells and see all the things. She is such a good girl. Some confidence, less pulling, and a better focus and this girl will be unstoppable ❤️

01/14/2024

Everyone please welcome our newest Puppy Bootcamp participant, Pirelli!
She is a very good girl and her momma loves her so very much and has done a phenomenal job with her thus far. Pirelli is here for some foundational skills, working on her manners at home and in public, and just teaching that puppy brain how to make the right decisions! You will be seeing a lot of her over the next four weeks ❤️

Let’s reintroduce my demo dogs or better referred to as my colleagues ❤️ over this next week I’m going to be posting about each dog that is a permanent resident of our home. And focusing specifically on the three dogs I use in my demos most frequently. (these three also keep my passion for training alive and well with their antics!)

I guess I should reintroduce the humans as well…

Taleasa Faris (That’s me!) owner and head trainer of canine camp-out. I am an Animal Behavior College Graduate. I am passionate about continuing my education in dog training and specifically dog body language. I love Harry Potter, Lion king, dog sports, and crafting. ❤️

Bruce Faris (my husband) he is the man behind the business paperwork at the moment while I learn the correct way to file different things and run different programs. He makes this company possible by his continued support of all my dog related antics over the last six years. He loves Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of The Rings, Reading, sailing, and camping. 🥰

And the littlest guy there is my son Elliot 😍. He is the excitement behind everything we do. He is a great help when socializing dogs to little kiddos and he loves being asked to play the part of the distraction. He loves cars, the octonauts, and getting to play with Icee.

Koda Lee (German Shepherd)- a medical disaster, a saint of a dog, medically retired service dog, and a crack head for a ball.

Toasted Marshmallow or Toast for short (English Setter)- My service dog, a goofball with big personality, and my best friend.

Icee (Icelandic Sheepdog)- A bundle of fun with anything she does, wicked smart, still a baby, and extremely gorgeous ❤️

Longer introductions to come for each demo dog later this week ‼️

Service dogs.
Probably one of the most unpopular topics for any pet dog trainer.
I cannot begin to count the amount of service dog training requests I receive.
“Can your online courses train my dog to be a service dog?”
“I need to make my dog a service dog so he can ride on the bus with me” (Yes, someone seriously asked me this)
“Do you certify service dogs?”
No - no - no - and more no.
Service dog training is completely different from pet dog training.
If your dog is trained to walk nicely on a leash and sit and stay, they are a pet dog.
If your dog comes up to you and nuzzles you when you are sad - they are still a pet dog.
If you want your dog to accompany you into stores or fly in-cabin on planes … they’re still only a pet dog and these privileges are not for them.
Service dogs are task-trained.
They are specifically taught to work for people with disabilities.
A dog that solely provides comfort is not a service dog.
I see a lot of people acquiring dogs, labeling them as “my service dog” and *then* going about training them.
This is not how that works.
You cannot just select a dog, put a service dog harness on them and figure the rest out as you go.
We regularly receive requests from dog owners who tell us that their “service dog” pulled them over on leash or nips at visitors.
That their service dog relentlessly chases wildlife on walks or has intense anxiety in social settings.
One time I got a request from a lady who told me that she got a dog from the shelter to be her son’s service dog, but that “service dog” was now biting the son and could I please fix it.
I’m sorry - none of those dogs are not service dogs then. And they likely won’t be service dogs in the future either.
Please be honest about the dog you own.
Unless you worked diligently to train them as a service animal with specific tasks, they are a pet.
A beloved, (hopefully) well-behaved, wonderful pet.
But not a working dog, and you should not demand the privileges that are reserved for true service dogs and their disabled handlers.
Staying clear with this distinction protects the actual service dogs and their owners 🙂

Is there any interest in a $5 CGC/CGCA testing day? Could also do free in person trick dog testing with enough interest.

This goes for my Missouri people too, if I have enough interest I could do an evaluation in Desoto MO area as well.

Comment below if you would be interested in this!

** $5 is just to cover paperwork costs on my end. To submit the title to AKC you would still have to pay them their fee**

Hours update‼️
Starting next week on 12/06/2023 we will have daytime hours Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! 10am-3pm

Thursday and Friday we will have additional hours of 5pm-8pm ❤️

We hope the new availability can make scheduling a bit easier moving forward 🥰

‼️Our Board and Train spot for February 3rd- March 2nd 2024 is currently the last available spot to book with us on our current calendar‼️

We can do anything from house manners, puppy socialization, basic obedience, excitement reactivity, confidence building, drive building, public access work, and task training!

Since this is the last spot available there may be a sweet deal in it for the lucky person who snags this spot before the new year 👀

Message us with any questions you may have or to sign your pup up for their unique training experience today ❤️

As people begin to plan their holidays, prep for travel, buy their gifts, and send their cards, we would like to wish everyone a very special holiday season this year.❤️

It’s been a hard year for a lot of people, as holidays start ramping up and the stress starts falling on your shoulders, remember to give yourself grace, take the time you need to breathe and reconnect with yourself, and set boundaries with those around you. Remember just because something is easy for you may not mean everyone feels the same way. Give grace, kindness, and love wherever you go this holiday season ❤️

Since I’m having to spend a lot of time with the guy due to his injury I figured it would be a great time to run another sale on our Trick Dog and Virtual Home Manners evaluations ❤️

From today until October 6th. 2023 any virtual evaluations will only be $8

So let’s get your dog their next title and give me and Koda something to focus on the next few days ❤️

09/05/2023

Well… Koda never did have good timing 😩.

Our regional trading cards came in today and I love them! BUTTTT….. we will not be attending regionals because SOMEBODY… not going to name names (cough**cough** KODA) pulled a muscle in his hind leg😩😭. So if you would like one of these lovely tradicards please let me know because I will have plenty 😭.

Also, for clarity, yes this sucks but neither one of us are broken up or angry about it. Crap happens 🤷🏼‍♀️. We compete for fun and obviously it wouldn’t be fun with Koda in possible pain and with me stressing about the possible pain. so, we move on and cross our fingers for next year ❤️

ICEE wants to know where you all like to take your pups? What is your favorite outing to bring your furry friend along?

**PET FRIENDLY places only unless you have a task trained service dog, thank you!

08/16/2023

Toast and Icee are learning to be calm around each other when asked. They are the best of playmates but sometimes they get a little too carried away and need to be reminded to chill out. So tonight we rotated out during their grooming sessions so that they could co exist while the other was busy so we start working on the whole “play time isn’t all the time” mentality.

07/11/2023

Remember to play with your dog ❤️

… even if it’s in the middle of something else 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

07/10/2023

Canine Camp-Out is back! We are now booking all services! Puppy and Doggie Bootcamps, virtual AKC evaluations, virtual and in person lessons are all back up and running 🎉.

Send us a message to get your time slot booked!

Please remember we only take 1 board and train client per month to make sure they get treated just like my own pups! (If not better but don’t tell toaster that 😂) ❤️

06/28/2023

With all the chaos this year has brought we forgot to update you guys on our continued education goals. It’s very important to me that as a dog trainer I’m always learning, being open minded, and pushing myself to be the best I can be for your dogs since they are family to us all ❤️

In January I graduated from Animal Behavior College’s obedience Instructor program.

Below is my diploma and my final grade sheet from my externship.

I can’t wait to continue my education in the years to come ❤️ thank you!
