Puppy Camp, Cincinnati OH

Staff always seems to be in good spirits and the dogs seem happy to be there. Affordable, convenient, and my dog always comes home tired!

We love puppy camp. My dog is obsessed with going and is exhausted when he gets home. We literally have to say “PC” and not “Puppy Camp” around our dog because he starts going crazy whenever he hears someone say the words puppy camp. They’re also extremely trustworthy, kind, and really care about the dogs and dog owners. Just good, genuine, salt of the earth people. 10/10 would recommend.

I love puppy camp! Great value, great hours, and they are so sweet to my dog. I never worry when he’s there.

If there were more than 5 stars, I’d put more. Puppy Camps is amazing and they love dogs. Susan and John are incredible (co-owners with Jim, who is a delight in the morning!) and frankly, in our opinion, any review of puppy camp is incomplete without Hannah! She is the best! Thanks Puppy Camp!

Puppy Camp has worked out and is working out beautifully for our 1 1/2 year old Borderdoodle. Our dog only goes 1-2 times a week and yet the minute we pull into the parking lot, he is greeted by name and treats. He comes home exhausted and happy. Very convenient to work and home and we love the convenient hours.

My dog Niko LOVES puppy camp! Each and every one of the staff members cares for my dog like it is their own. They also are very educated on dogs and truly know each pup’s’ personality. Niko used to go to dog town (only for boarding because daycare was outrageously expensive) and there would be times he was scared to go back in the playroom and didn’t want me to leave him there. Now as soon as we pull into puppy camp he is leaping onto my lap because he can’t wait to go inside. It has huge spaces enough for all the dogs to safely play. It is also nice not having to schedule a time to drop off/ pick up— just doing so at your own convenience, also the price is great, I haven’t found a comparable doggy daycare yet around the same price. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Puppy Camp!

There isn’t enough room to praise them. Great staff. Your dog will be loved and love them all.

Puppy camp has been a great place for our dog when we can’t be home during the week for long stretches and for boarding. For boarding, we love that she gets to be in a home overnight and in a fun environment during the day for play. We have to say “PC” at home because as soon as we say “Puppy Camp” she perks up ready to go!

Dogs are such a part of our family, so finding a place that treats them like family was important. Puppy Camp helped build a happy, sweet smart and loving dog. Your dog needs socialization not 15 mins of play then stuck in a cage for hours a day. Puppy Camp is all about your dog. They come to know everything about them. They actually love your dog. They do so many great activities with and for the dogs. If you want a team that loves your dog as you, do this is the place.
Every team member loves dogs. They make every dog feel like they are the only dog. Your dog will come home tired but happy. Go ahead, call Puppy Camp. Your dog will will be so grateful you did.
Thank you Puppy Camp for all you have done for Hershey.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Puppy Camp - they are truly the reason I am able to have a dog! I work long, variable hours and am lucky that Puppy Camp is a few blocks from my work AND opens early enough for me to drop him off before going in. They know my dog by name (Oliver) and are always so excited for him to be there, and he is always desperate to get out of the car to go home. He is passed out for the night after a day at Puppy Camp, too. Overall a very happy beagle:)

The staff at Puppy Camp go above and beyond - I appreciate that they tell me when Oliver is having a hard time and give suggestions to make it better - for example, on days I can't pick him up until 7pm or later, he would cry starting around 5pm when most of the other dogs were getting picked up. They recommended sending dinner for him so they could distract him, and reported it worked well. I appreciated that instead of always saying everything is fine, they gave me advice on how to make him even happier at Puppy Camp.

The other benefits - nail trims, boarding - are just icing on the cake. When the dogs board, they don't stay in a kennel - they go home with the staff. I'm always told that Oliver finds his way into Jon and Susan's bed at night - I know he is so well cared for when he stays with them. We've gone to Puppy Camp for months and he has never smelled bad when he comes home.

Again - can't say enough wonderful things. We love Puppy Camp so much! They truly feel like family.

We’ve had a great experience here, the team is super welcoming, the hours are great, and their boarding system is very flexible!

We adopted an adorable brown puppy a year ago who we learned is a 10/10 on the energy scale. He was very mouthy, gnawing on me all day. I was going through many emotions, frustrated with him, mad at myself, sad, a failure, and I really didn't see how we were going to get through it. Luckily I recalled a fellow UC Health coworker had taken their pup to puppy camp which is right around the corner from my office. When he was old enough we gave it a try and it literally saved our sanity. Chip loves to go to puppy camp and I love to take him as seeing all the dogs makes me so happy. I can tell they love him and care about his experience. The other perk is their boarding capability. We've taken a few trips and didn't have to worry about Chip being in a kennel all day. They take him in to puppy camp in the daytime then home with them where he gets to play all night. They are great about communicating, sending pictures, and genuinely make the guilt you feel about leaving your pup non-existent. In fact, the first time we picked him up after a trip I think he was sad he wasn't going to get to play in his puppy pack anymore. One Saturday over the holidays I had family in town with young children and I was worried about having so many people my home and being able to watch him. I didn't want him to have to be crated the whole weekend. I called nearly in tears to see if anyone could board him that night and Hannah we so kind to take him. Between keeping me accountable for vaccines and heart worm, being a second set of eyes if they think something might be wrong, boarding capabilites, and their love for the puppy campers, I feel like we have a family helping to enrich our beloved pup.
