VT Barks & Recreation
Our canine overnight camp balances planned activities and rest, so your dog will return home happy, tired, and well balanced. Real grass, long walks and immersion with the natural environment is one of our cornerstones.
OUR FACILITIES
Our facilities are conveniently located halfway between Burlington and Middlebury 3 miles from the RT 7 corridor, in in Monkton/North Ferrisburgh, Vermont.
Within our 24-acre property we have 10 acres of fenced in area providing a variety of habitat for the dogs to traverse including fields to run, old growth deciduous and pine forest to roam, ledges to explore, ponds, and pristine wetlands for scent work. This diverse area allows dogs to be connected in a safe and supervised natural environment.
THE EXPERIENCE
We provide a natural environment to satisfy your dog’s physical and psychological needs throughout their stay with us. Dogs are outdoor specialists, they are constantly learning through their senses. We tap into their natural desire to explore and provide the opportunity to enhance their natural behaviors by providing a diversity of sensory and social experiences.
SAFETY & SOCIALIZATION
Our diverse area allows dogs to be connected in a safe and supervised natural environment. The amount of available space contributes to safety, because the dogs can engage socially without feeling stressed, frustrated, or cornered.
We screen all of our camp members during a trial day to be sure they are a good fit with the current group, and spaces are limited to 15 dogs. All dogs are required to have appropriate vaccines and be spayed or neutered when age appropriate.
