The best dog training fun you will ever have!!!!!

So please mark your calendars for:
July 9th - July 14th  2012 

All friendly Dogs and their Kids [ages 8-18] participate in 3 hours of incredible hands on dog training workshops each day
from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Kids can check in early or stay a bit late if needed to accomadate your work schedule

We are trying hard to keep camp costs down.. so we have decided
Not to raise the camp fees for this year!

$$$$$ is the cost of this incredable 5 day camp
[includes camp t-shirt] 


If you have 2 kids and 1 dog or a great kid that loves animals but no dog ???? No worries, we have loaner dogs that your kids can borrow for the week... We do beagle rescue here at the Family Dog Club, so there's always a great beagle that could use some extra love and training....


Orientation will be held on July 7th 11:00 -2:00
Orientation is a great day to come out learn about this years workshops and meet some of your instructors, sign up for the workshops you'd like to take, pick up your t-shirts and camp packets... You may also bring your lawn chairs, and things you might want to leave for the week so you won't have to tote so much stuff everyday, like an extra crate or x-pen, shade covers for your dog, water bowls, etc. Please remember to put your name on everything just in case it gets lost.

All about last year 2011
K-9 & Kids Camp was held from July 10th - 16th this year. We enjoyed another great time at camp -- with a pack of friendly dogs and their kids. The kids got to learn all about their dogs and about how to train and care for their dogs. Beagles to the rescue was able to help kids who don't have dogs participate in K9 & Kids Camp by continuing with the "loaner dog" program they implemented last year. The loaner dogs were available at the Family Dog Club each morning for the kids to pick them up in time for classes. The loaner dogs enjoyed the classes as much as the kids, and got additional training and socialization that helps to make them more adoptable. Kids who would not otherwise participate in such a camp got the chance to learn about dogs and to enjoy our camp program!
(two of our 2011 Loaner Dogs was adopted by their K9 & Kids Camp Kid!)

With the generous help of a grant from the PetCo Foundation, Beagles to the Rescue was able to provide 10 kids with FREE tuition and supplies, and Loaner Dogs.. so that they could attend K-9 & Kids Camp.

 Our Camp Picnic is always on the Sat. following camp
Kids, Dogs, Parents, Friends, Family & Instructors are all invited to attend the picnic. This is where the children and dogs got to show off all they had learned throughout their week of camp. Everyone enjoyed good food and great company.
 
Lets not forget the highlite of camp ... Yes... The POOP RAFFLE
Campers collect raffle tickets throughout the week for picking up their dogs poop, they also got tickets for being caught being nice to others...
meny business donated doggie items for our raffle...
A Special Thanks to all our sponsors.... the kids loved all the goodies
