Dog camps for Fido — including in Tahoe
By Sharon L. Peters, USA Today
Summer camp is veering in a new direction — toward grown-ups and their dogs.
Nature walks, swimming and memory-making campfires (all dog-focused) are being augmented with agility training, cooking-for-canines instruction, bury-the-bone competitions and dozens of other activities for pooch-loving participants.
“It’s a great way to have 100% together time with your dog, enjoying nature and activities, instead of just feeding them and walking them,” says Margaret Rapp of Arlington Heights, Ill. She attended Camp Dogwood in Ingleside, Ill., last year with Danny, her spaniel mix, and Ollie, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel who was a recent puppy mill rescue.
