If you have ever wondered about attending a dog camp with your best friend then wonder no more.I have discovered the best kept secret this side of the Mississippi.
Its name is Camp Unleashed and is located in the Berkshire Mtns of Mass. A 4 day, 3 night escape where dogs and their owners embark on a weekend of pure bliss.
Take it from one who knows. I have been to Camp Unleashed the past two years with my girls Shelby and Greta a 2 1/2 year Chocolate and 1 1/2 year Black Lab respectively. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a place where dogs can have the freedom to be dogs. swimming,hiking,playing and learning. two-legged and four-legged friends on one big happy bonding experience.
if you are a true dog lover sign up for a weekend at camp unleashed RIGHT NOW!!! Me and the girls have met what will certainly be lifelong friends at Camp Unleashed.
I cannot praise Annie, the founder of this place enough for giving true dog lovers what they will certainly remember during those long "dog days" of summer and the rest of the year.
visit www.campunleashed.com and see for yourself what you will experience surrounded by others just like yourself who's utmost satisfaction is gleaned from seeing their best friends meet new friends while having the unrestrained time of their lives.
14 1/2 miles of hiking trails; lakes and ponds to swim in and classes and activities ranging from obedience, agility, and frisbee to dog massage techniques, rally-o and canine nutrition.
do as little or as much as you want. what you won't want to do is miss this opportunity.
i will be making my third trek to Camp Unleashed the first weekend in September. Unfortunately that weekend is sold out. The Director limits the number of dogs that can attend to 50 to keep things manageable and fun for all.
Due to the word of mouth excitment this place has generated through its exposure this past March on the Rachel Ray show on the Food Network the director has added another session for the last week in September with spots still available for those who wish to attend.
If i had the vacation time i would sign up to come back just two weeks after attending just because i know from experience how much my girls love every aspect of camp life.
Trust me, i am not a spokesperson for the place. i'm just a dog fanatic that cannot contain my enthusiasm for such a wonderful place.
please check it out online at www.campunleashed.com and see for yourself.
