Overnight Boarding Information
When your dog bunks with us overnight, they will get plenty of playtime with the other boarders and the daycare dogs. And when it’s time for a meal or scheduled downtime, they’ll have their own kennel. (Your dog will never share a kennel with another dog unless, of course, you want him to stay with his brother or sister.) We recommend that you bring food and treats for your dog. And of course we’ll administer any medication your dog might be on.
They would need their Bordetella Vaccine. We have a live feed on our RUFF Academy Facebook page during the week so you can see them playing and having fun! We will also take video and pictures of them having a great time at camp along with an evening email each night to let you know how everything went for the day! Let us know and we can reserve your space!
We will send out a questionnaire and form for you to fill out and get you set!

We do ask all owners to bring their dog’s preferred brand of food. If not, there is a $3.50 fee per meal charge. Please provide your pets food in a sealed container or zip-lock bag to avoid any cross contamination.
Civil Conduct and Comfort Policy
We also want to make sure that our campers play well with others (or are at least civil towards them), so every dog must come in for a required day or daycare before they can make a boarding reservation or sign up for a multi-visit daycare package. On your dog’s first day at Camp Woof, they’ll go through an introduction process where they’ll slowly meet other dogs so we can see how they respond to and interact with the different personalities and activity levels of the dogs in the playgroup.
If your dog is relaxed and comfortable, the introduction might last half an hour. If your dog is nervous and shy, the introduction might take three or four hours. Since we don’t know how long an introduction is going to last, we like for our new dogs to be in sometime between 7am and 11am, and to stay with us for at least six hours. This gives us time to make sure your dog gets along with the other dogs (as well as the staff) and that they’ll be happy at camp, and it also gives your dog the chance to explore the facility and get to know the other dogs and the staff, so they are on familiar ground the next time they comes back to camp. To set up your dog’s first day of daycare, call us for further details. Then you’ll just need to have your vet fax shot records and you can complete our registration form before or on your dog’s first day.
While most dogs that come through our door do well, we’re aware that dog daycare isn’t for every dog. If we see signs of aggression from a dog, we will pull him from the playgroup and ask his parents that they are not to return to camp. Our “no aggressive dog” policy is applied to all campers, whether it’s their first day of daycare or whether they’ve been with us for three years. This policy helps us ensure that our playgroup is safe for all kinds of shy ones, social ones, large ones, small ones, young ones, old ones. We even have blind, deaf, or three-legged dogs. And they all get along with each other. Also, if a dog suffers from such severe separation anxiety that they won’t relax despite all efforts to get him to calm down, we’ll let you know that this environment might not be the best for him
and will be happy to recommend a pet sitter. We want the dogs at Camp Woof to be happy, and we’ll always let you know how your dog does during his visits.
Reservation Deposits
In reference to the surcharge policy, a deposit is required to secure a reservation. The deposit is one night’s boarding fee and will be deducted from the total bill at the end of your dog’s stay. However, the deposit will not be refunded if you fail to show for your reservation or if you cancel within 72 hours of your scheduled drop-off date. Contact 920-287-3990 or
[email protected] to reserve your space!
