Advanced Gone to the Dogs (Ages 10-14) 

Throughout the week, campers will build their confidence, expand their knowledge, and gain hands-on experience working with a variety of dogs. This camp dives deep into the world of canine behavior, training, and offers an immersive experience that combines science, hands-on activities, and expert-led sessions. Whether you dream of becoming a dog trainer, behaviorist, or simply want to deepen your understanding of man's best friend, this camp is for you! *Prerequisite: Child must have attended Gone to the Dogs in 2024 or 2025. 

Camp Highlights 

  • Advanced Canine Training: Dive into advanced dog training with a focus on Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification! Kids will help their assigned dog practice important commands, socialization skills, and more. 

  • Hands-On Dog Sports Experience: Go on a special field trip to explore the exciting world of advanced dog sports! Kids will get hands-on experience with activities like agility, obedience, and dock diving, and learn how these sports are performed, and what it takes to compete with your dog. 

  • Advocating for Dogs: Learn how to advocate for shelter dogs who have specific behavior needs or require a unique home setting. Learn how to advocate for your own dog in public settings. 

  • Cooperative Care: Learn how to make your animal more comfortable when performing basic handling or going to vet appointments. 

 

Morning & Afternoon Care 

Drop-off time for those without morning extended care is 8:45am or later. Extended care is available for an extra fee from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. You must register in advance for extended care.

A late fee of $1.00 per minute applies for late pickups (after 4:00pm without extended care or after 5:00pm with extended care.) Please help us to help you and sign up for extended care if you have any doubts about your ability to be on time. Also, please do not drop children off early unless they have been registered for morning extended care. We do not want them waiting alone outside.

Children Information

It is important to inform HAWS of any special needs; physical, medical, mental or emotional, that your child may have so that we can provide a successful HAWS experience. Failure to inform HAWS of any of these needs that are necessary to know when instructing your child may result in your child being unable to participate and a loss of program fees.
