These are the services available when your Dachshund stays at Camp Adventurewiener.

The base stay is awesome as-is and includes many perks that other dog boarding and sitting businesses will charge you for.

Your dog’s standard (it’s really anything but) visit, includes:

  • Sleeping with us in our bed (if that’s your dog’s jam).
  • Lots of snuggle time
  • Daily enrichment provided in the form of games, walks, natural chews, stuffed treat toys, or short adventures close to home
  • Supervised time in our fully fenced yard
  • Daily brushing and mat check (long haired Dachshunds)
  • A bath if there is a poop accident or they roll in something
  • A behavior and needs assessment with a 15-minute report at the end of your dog’s stay

Add-ons available to help make your pup’s stay extra awesome include grooming, training, semi-professional portraits, camping and hiking.

Whether you want your Dachshund to come home having learned a new skill, you don’t want your pup to back-slide on any training progress while you’re away, or you don’t want your puppy to stop learning during the prime socialization window, I can help.

Besides years of experience with dog behavior, I am a certified Family Dog Mediator and am currently enrolled in a behavior modification mentorship program.

Over the last 13 years, I’ve build moderately-sized, loyal social media following centered around my Dachshunds. I suppose you can say that we have achieved “influencer” status. Our followers love to see other Dachshunds besides mine and sometimes choose to follow our houseguests too.

During your dog’s stay, I typically post photos and videos of your dog enjoying their time at my house on social media for you to see and for our audience to enjoy. If your dog has a social media account and you, and are looking to build a following, we can discuss a formal social media “campaign” with the aim of gaining more followers for your pup.

Quotes for this service are custom, taking into account your needs, the length of your dog’s stay, etc., but typically start at $100.
