Frequently Asked Questions 2010

Q: I'm new to the whole "dog camp" experience. I'm not sure my dog is well trained enough to come to camp. How much training should a dog have?

Is your dog housetrained? Yes? Then your dog is well trained enough to come to camp! Actually, your dog can come even if he/she isn't housetrained!  Camp Barking Hills is a place for you and your dog to try new things, learn some stuff and have a great time together. There will be dogs with lots of different skill levels at camp.

Q: Where does my dog stay?

With you, of course. Dogs are permitted in all classes, lectures, and seminars. Many campers choose to bring a portable crate so their dog can get some rest especially during lunch or seminars.

Q: Is everything included in the camp fee?

The camp fee includes all activities, lectures, seminars and classes. You can pack in your lunch or order lunch from one of the local resturants.

Q: What should I bring with me?

All campers receive a packet with a recommended list of things to make your stay more comfortable and fun.

Q: Didn't you use to have a sleep away camp?

Yes we did, but unfortunately the venue has gotten more and more expensive.  In order to keep costs down, we have decided to do multiple daycamps instead.

Q: Are all the daycamps the same?

Each daycamp has different activities and seminars.  Some favorites will be repeated at multiple camps but each daycamp has something different to offer.

Q: If I want to spend the night, is there any place to stay?

Check out the accommodations page for information on local, dog friendly hotels.
