ACTIVE CAMP FAQs

Yes, You do need to be a member to utilize our facility. The monthly fee is $49 that is charged the first of every month.

Temperament Evaluation is a term that we use to describe our intake process for new four-legged clients. It allows us to determine who your pet is and where they will be most comfortable in our facility. Basically, a personality review.

Temperament is the general attitude a dog displays towards people and other animals; it is the combined inherited and acquired physical and mental traits that influence the dog's behavior. Temperament testing evaluates an individual dog's temperament through a series of tests that measure traits including stability, confidence, shyness, friendliness, aggressiveness, protectiveness, prey instincts, play drive, and self-defense instincts, and ability to distinguish between threatening and nonthreatening situations. Snuggles and Hugs only has one goal with Temperament Evaluations and that is to gain specific knowledge about your individual pet so that we can best serve him/her in every capacity.

All Campers must:

• Complete Camper Profile Form
• Attend a Active Dog Camp Evaluation and meet the temperament testing requirements
• Sign Service Agreement
• Be on a flea and tick prevention program
• Be spayed or neutered if 7 months or older
• Bring a copy of your pet’s vaccination records on your first visit

Having a shy dog is not uncommon, and it could be for a number of reasons, lack of socialization, breed, learned behavior from the parents.etc... For an additional fee we will work with your dog one on one and help build confidence. We can customize a program that will be integrated into his daily activity schedule.

YES, ABSOLUTELY! If you have a puppy or adolescent dog, there is a limited time in your dog’s brain development to engage with a variety of other balanced dogs. Too often dogs abruptly leave their litter and have to quickly adapt to being part of a human pack. Sometimes putting off socialization can lead to a dog not being “dog friendly.” Relying on dog parks for socialization is a bit of a risk. We encourage you to bring the young ones, the sooner the better!!

Our facility has plentiful indoor play rooms, so nasty climate does not influence our capacity to exercise, stimulate, play and provide personal attention to your pet.

This is done for the comfort and health of your pet. Dogs who attend camp regularly and remain familiar with the facility and staff are much less likely to develop stress-related health problems during their stay with us. Our goal is ultimate comfort and minimum stress for the dogs in our care.

To guarantee a place owners must have a standing reservation of a minimum of two days per month. Campers are required to attend a minimum of one day at Active Dog Camp per month to be eligible to board with us. This is to ensure your pet stays familiar with our facility, environment, staff and other campers. This will potentially reduce stress for your dog and staff will get to know their personalities much better.

Yes, we require 2 weeks’ notice to cancel and there is a 2-week waiting period to restart your membership after cancellation. Additionally, cancellation results in losing your reserved spot on your desired day(s). When you return, your desired day may or may not be available and you may need to be on a waitlist and/or attend on a different day. During the 2-week waiting period to restart your membership once you return, you would be subject to a registration fee. If it has been 2 months or more your dog will need to be re-evaluated and pay the re-evaluating fee.
