“I think camp is very beneficial to pups because of the socialization, love and care they receive here. So many dogs are happy to come – when they arrive, they bound down the steps to get to their friends. They actually look forward to seeing each other and playing. We have the craziest friend combos here. Like Libby, a pedigreed princess and Harley a rescue from the South. Two totally different dogs. Two inseparable best friends. Camp is also great for dogs who are less social the ones who love to see their humans. Like Scout, when he sees Counselor Dan, his whole demeanor changes. Dogs really do enjoy their time here where they can be social and get their energy out, so that they can go home and be the perfect little angels for their parents that we all know they are.” – Tammy, Assistant Manager

“Not only do our clients’ dogs have a safe and engaging place to spend their days when they come to Camp Canine, they also have so many fun events that they can attend! I think our clients and campers both really love the different activities that we have … the Spring Break Pawty and the Howloween Pawty … the Mother’s and Father’s Day photo shoots …. the crafts we have during the holidays. It all makes for a unique Camp experience like no other in NYC and – let’s face it – they get some great instagram content out of it too!” – Amanda, Marketing Manager
“Your pup should come to Camp because, if they can’t be with you, why shouldn’t they get to have a nice vacation while you’re on vacation?! Camp is where your pup will make 2 and 4-legged friends alike. Central Park is our backyard and your dog will have plenty of opportunities to experience that. Who wouldn’t want to wrestle around with a furry friend when feeling frisky, or cuddle up to a counselor when feeling calm? While your pup is at Camp, in addition to all the fun and games, treats, cuddles and kisses they will get, they can also be treated to a Spa Day! Your dog will be pampered, massaged, brushed out, spruced up and smelling delicious before coming back home to you – the perfect way to end their vacation.” – Melina, Groomer
“All of our counselors are true doggie lovers and go out of their way to make Camp pups feel at home, comfortable and safe. We provide one-on-one time with fetch sessions, cuddle sessions and Central Bark walks. We give your pup individual time and attention, which helps them bond with their Camp Counselors. Camp Canine even provides Reiki (energy healing) services if your pup has anxiety, feeling a little under the weather, or recently underwent a medical procedure and can use some assistance with the healing process. Camp is a very tailored experience, and the results are a happy pup!” – Brenda, Counselor

“I have worked at Camp for just over a year now, and one of the biggest reasons I love it here is because of how tailored it is to creating personal relationships with each client and their dog.We truly know each and every one of our dogs and how best to make them happy and comfortable.As handlers, we take the time to check in with all the dogs throughout the day and from working with them one on one, I have seen extremely timid dogs and extremely high energy dogs learn how to socialize and feel at home at Camp.Whether your dog wants to play all day, or hang out with their favorite handler, or just nap and cuddle with their buddies, there is a place for them at Camp.As a Camp Canine handler, shift lead, receptionist, and cat room manager – I am here to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!” – Alissa, Counselor
“I genuinely love being at Camp. The exciting and happy energies of the pups bring me joy every time I go in. Nothing beats seeing a dog dragging their owners towards Camp and seeing them eagerly run inside to have fun with other campers. If you choose to bring your pup to Camp, expect them to be flooded with cuddles and kisses and plenty of playtime in a room filled with new friends ready to wrestle and play tag. If you have a calmer pup that prefers alone time, we have plenty of room for them to enjoy their space and get all the love from us counselors!” – Melanie, Counselor
We are so thankful for our staff! They are the reason we can provide your pet with their favorite home-away-from-home.
