Frequently asked questions.
What is Dog Camp?
Dog camp is a structured pack walk where your dog will play, socialize, and practice general manners and obedience in a safe outdoor setting with a variety of other well behaved dogs.
Where do you walk?
We have been granted permission to walk on private land in a surrounding town. For Landowner privacy we will not disclose our location publicly. We walk in tall grass, fields, wooded areas and swim in multiple ponds and brooks.
How many dogs will be at camp?
Each pack will be constructed daily based on temperament and ability of the dogs. Hence the number of dogs may change each day.
How safe is it?
Here at Mainely Hounds LLC we take safety very seriously. Packs will be constructed based on size, age, temperament and ability etc. This allows pups to have the best time together and ensure a great and safe experience for all!
What happens if my dog gets injured on a walk?
We are Pet First Aid and CPR Certified and carry a first aid kit with us. If the injury is minor it will be treated on the trail accordingly. If the injury is severe our Pack Leaders priority is to get ALL the pups back to the car safely and the injured pup to the nearest emergency veterinary clinic. Owner will be notified as soon as safely possible to do so. A Veterinary release form is signed by all pet parents in case of such emergency so as not to delay care for your best friend. Rest assured, this would be rare due to all the safety precautions put in place. However, we do ask you to remember that we are in “the wild”. We may come across porcupines, skunks, turkeys etc. Dogs run and play and chase and swim. Branches and sticks can be pointy and minor scapes and cuts can be a normal part of this type of adventure.
