Testimonials
“Nina completed an apprenticeship through Vermont Dog Pack specifically running and operating the Camp service we provide. Nina learned and excelled in pack management and maintaining friendly and appropriate behavior within the pack and over saw their interactions with the public. Nina understands the importance in controlling energy to give each dog the best Camp […]
“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Cristina and the Exploration Dog Camp. When I fractured my foot and was told I had to stay off it for 8 weeks, I had no idea what to do with my dog who is use to an hour plus walk/hike every day. Thankfully, I […]
Camp is the highlight of Clover’s week! She literally shakes with excitement when Cristina arrives to pick her up. We love seeing their adventures in the pictures Cristina posts on Facebook. We can’t recommend Exploration Dog Camp enough! – Kristie and David Grover, owners of Clover
“Our dogs Tryfan and Wyatt have been in Cristina’s pack for the past 3 years and we have had nothing but positive experiences. She never misses a camp day and gives plenty of notice if she has to cancel for any reason. She is very responsible, trustworthy, friendly, and is great with dogs and people. […]
Sending Wilma to Exploration Dog Camp is one of the best decisions we ever made. We know that she is well cared for in an environment built around safe play and outdoor exercise where each dog’s needs are taken into consideration. Cristina cares for Wilma like she is her own.
How do I put int words how fantastic Exploration Dog Camp and Cristina are?!Cristina is absolutely amazing! She is so positive, thoughtful, and dependable. Our very energetic golden, Gus, absolutely loves Cristina and camp days! The off leash time is the highlight of his week! I don’t know what we would do without Cristina!
Cristina is an amazing resource for learning how to train and work with your dog! We felt lucky to connect with her after we adopted our yellow lab Cosmo. Having a puppy in the house for the first time in 15 years felt overwhelming, but Cristina worked with our whole family to establish training routines. […]
It is hard to know where to begin when choosing among the multitude of positive things I can say about Cristina and Dog Camp! First, Cristina is a delightful young woman who is intelligent, trustworthy, punctual, honest, organized and an absolute pleasure to work with. I have entrusted her with Roxy since she first started […]
We called on Cristina to help get us over the hump of “recall” with our 9 month Vizsla, Otto. Before Cristina, Otto was choosing when he wanted to come back and when he decided to take a different path. We wanted to be able to take Otto off leash and feel confident that he would […]
Adopting a puppy, let alone two(!) represents a significant learning curve when the last time you had a pet was 35 years ago. We relied on Cristina to help us navigate those initial months to learn how to be an effective dog parent. She was available to us morning, noon and night and we called […]
“It had been almost fifteen years since my husband and I had a puppy in the house so when we brought Sam home from the breeder, we were amazed at his high energy level! While we tried to work through some training strategies on our own it soon became evident that we needed help with […]
