Our Dog Day Camp Program
What is your dog doing when you’re not home, or not able to engage with him or her for long stretches of time? We understand that a long day spent primarily alone is probably not your—or your dog’s—idea of the top quality of life.
So, instead, help your dog live their best life by enrolling them in the camp that’s designed around their happiness and health!

Day Camp for Dogs
It’s social. It’s active. It’s fulfilling. It’s Day Camp at College for Pets!
Dog day camp is where new friendships are formed and old ones are strengthened for dogs of all ages.
Dog-Focused: We follow our campers’ rhythm, with periods of active play and interaction with pups and people, alternating with rest periods.
Lunchtime treat: the midday break includes a treat—but they’ll need to use their clever curiosity and smarts to unlock it from one of our many interactive toys!
Whatever the weather: We and our campers love to be outdoors, even in rain or snow—but, rest assured, we always play it safe! We have ample indoor play space that we don’t hesitate to use if the weather is unfit for either dog or human!

I’ve been boarding my dogs with Mike for years when we’d go on family vacations and have always felt so comfortable our dogs have been very well cared for. ... read more When we got a new puppy in ‘20 I took some puppy classes and then enrolled my pup in Day Camp. I couldn’t be happier with every service we’ve used. The whole group at White Mountain College for Pets is awesome. When I drop my dog off in the morning for day Camp he pulls me through the door and clearly couldn’t be happier to be there. That says it all!!

After two days, our dog came out happy, socialized, relaxed and exercised. I can't recommend White Mountain College for Pets highly enough, I would trust them to care for our dog over and over again.

We have used many services from White Mountain College for pets. Where to start, puppy classes, obedience foundation, grooming, lodging plus. The facility is super clean. Staff... read more is friendly and attentive. By attentive I mean listening to every single “important detail” about Sobaka’s past, present and future life with out a single eyeroll 😎. The instructors, especially Sue and Karen, are super knowledgeable and offer great tips just for Sobaka on top of all the lesson topics. We look forward to more classes and lodging opportunities. Sobaka goes to the facility with a wiggle butt and comes back the same way. Lodging plus includes enrichment time. His manners (such as they are for a puppy) are not only in place, but better! He will be one year old this month. Great peace of mind having him in the care of White Mountain College for pets when he can not travel with us. Communication is excellent. I frequently get replies in the middle of the night, or definitely within 24 hrs. I appreciate their flexibility to my changing travel needs. One suggestion, as an over thinker and worrier, I would love to see/hear updates at least every other day for lodging plus. Brenda and Jon

Best decision we made to have our dog trained here. High level of communication and a dedicated team. We will be using other services in the future.

Having had a couple of really amazing furry family members I trained myself my confidence was totally challenged with Gus. I did my research and decided on White Mountain College... read more for Pets. The team was great from the moment I called until I picked up Gus at the end of his training. I especially liked the interactive video calls and weekly video of Gus’ progress. I felt very much like a part of his training. The best part is the training doesn’t end when you go home! We have both private & group training to reinforce what Gus has learned and expand our training together. Thanks to Karen & everyone!!

Been sending Millie to doggie day camp this summer. She loves it! People are all great and really care about the fur babies they have in their charge.

We enrolled our puppy, Teddy, in the Foundation Obedience class with such positive results that he has since participated in several other classes, including the Board & Train program. He absolutely loves his time there. In fact, from the moment our car turns into the driveway, his excitement cannot be contained! The entire staff welcomes Teddy by name with warmth and kindness. Thank you, White Mountain, for providing such a wonderful & positive environment for pets and their people!

I am blown away by the work White Mountain College for pets did for my and my dog. My dog is a 4 year old Italian Greyhound who is very... read more high energized and wreaked havoc in my house. She jumped out on counters to steal food, bolted away from me, wouldn’t let me put her harness on her, and was an awful food stealer. From the beginning, they kept my expectations realistic and were very patient with me and my question. When Gidget came home from the board and train I was just blow away by the progress she made. I can put her harness on her! She (most of the time) comes when I call her. She is able to play outside without being attached to me. She hasn’t stolen food since her return home. She is still her energetic self, but she is much more well behaved. I thought training Gidget was a lost cause (multiple other training attempts were). They cared for her like she was their dog and did an amazing job with her. Anyone looking for a committed training school for there “hopeless to train” dog, this is definitely the place!

What a phenomenal experience attending College for Pets! The trainers are all lovely people and very knowledgeable. I was impressed with how fast they responded to my questions. The service... read more dog training is geared to help the needs of the particular individual, which is extremely beneficial. I worked with Mike and it was astonishing to watch how he catches cues with dogs even in listening to just their breath. He has taught not just my dog things, but even things about myself. I have been able to become independent again, which is huge for me. Without a doubt, I highly recommend College for Pets!

My fiancé and I are so thankful that we found White Mountain College for Pets! As most everyone we know knows, Beau is the most hyper pup I have ever... read more had, and he has really bad separation anxiety. We knew when we started our internship for our counseling program that he could not stay home alone. White Mountain College for Pets not only gave us peace of mind, but also Beau. I have seen Beau go from timid and hiding behind our legs, to happy go lucky when heading into his day camp. He's been working on so much and I have noticed he a little better at sharing toys with his dog neighbor Ellie, he is calmer throughout the day, and he is more attentive. Now, don't get me wrong, Beau has always been attentive, but I think from what he has been working on in day camp, he is just listening a little bit better at home because he is an overall calmer little guy. Beau also loves that he gets to hang with his people friends all day and that he always gets sent home with a treat or two. He has practiced socialization with other pups (a big help!), scent training, and one day he even got a little doggy massage! Long story short, if you're looking for a place for you dog to go during the day, pick here - and enroll them in day camp, it has been so great for Beau Beau! :)

More than play — it’s enrichment
Our Day Camp isn’t a free-for-all. It’s built on the 12 Pillars of Enrichment — visual, auditory, food, structural, olfactory, cognitive, social, human-interaction, spiritual, intellectual, performative, and rejuvenation — so every camper gets mental and physical stimulation, with active play balanced by rest.
For every dog
Day Camp improves quality of life for all dogs — not just the young and playful:
- Senior dogs love the low-impact activities and the visual, auditory, and olfactory offerings.
- Cranky dogs are welcome — social play is just one of the 12 pillars, so there’s plenty to enjoy at a comfortable distance.
- Shy, awkward dogs thrive — a rich mix of sensory experiences buffers gentle, slow social exposure to help build confidence and friends.
