Adirondack Sniffari is an outdoor adventure camp for dogs with a free pick up and drop off service!

​

This program is designed for well-socialized, friendly dogs to play and learn while exercising their bodies and their minds. 

​

Camp structure:

• Camp runs Monday-Thursday.

• Dogs can attend 1 day a week up to 4 days a week.

• The walks/hikes last around 2 hours.

• Camp is run on both private and public land.

• Campers ride along together for pick-ups and drop-offs so being able to be in close quarters with other dogs is essential to their success at camp.

​

Our Camp Counselors teach their pack basic obedience skills in high distractions on long lines and off-leash (if/when they are ready). Much smaller pack sizes than a traditional dog daycare means more comfortable and happy dogs. This makes dog camp great for adventurous dogs who love to run and play outside but also good for dogs who find traditional dog daycare setting to be too overwhelming.

 

We want our campers to feel safe putting their best paw forward at camp, at home and in the community. Our Camp Counselors are a constant source of support and positive reinforcement for our campers to succeed.

​

We have a very thorough evaluation process with clear criteria for whether or not your dog is eligible for camp. This process includes an application questionnaire, in-person evaluation and 4 trial days. If your pup passes our criteria, they are welcome to officially join camp!

​

Each camp day is $50. We have discounts for multiple days per week and multi-camper households.

​

  At camp, your dog will learn:

​

• How to fluidly move from prey drive (play & hunting) to social drive (listening to their camp counselor and functioning as a pack)

• How to control their emotional state through being rewarded for relaxation (utilizing classical and operant conditioning)

• Proper dog to dog socialization behaviors

• Trail etiquette that will translate to your own adventures

• Vehicle etiquette 

• Solidifying their recall

• Impulse control

​

Some Benefits of Dog Camp:

 

• Free rides in the camp car to save you time and money!

We will pick up your dog for camp from your home or place of business and drop them back off while teaching them proper car etiquette along the way.

​

• Work their body and their brain so they can better relax or adventure with you!

While you’re busy at work, your dog will be living its best life outdoors! They will be getting plenty of exercise, enhancing their skills and engaging in social activity. After a day of playing with other campers, your dog will be ready to relax with you at home. 

​

• It's year round!

Not into walking your pup in the colder months or the heat of summer? Let us do it for you! 

​

• Off leash recall for camp and beyond!

With a pack that frequently explores on long lines and off-leash, we work to sharpen your dog's recall skills which can be applied to adventures with you outside of dog camp.
