Love Dogs Camp

"If I had one word to describe my experience here at LDC, it’s: Family. Our doggie, Pearl, has always suffered from anxiety and a fear of socializing. Today she is so much better due almost exclusively to the love, care and patience shown to her by Carolyn and her staff. We can’t recommend Love Dog’s Camp enough."

"We moved to the Central Coast from Los Angeles 6 months ago and worried about finding a place we could board our anxious rescue dog -- until we found Love Dogs Camp. It has been such a blessing! Because our dog liked staying there so much, we started her in socialization classes two days a week as well, and she has blossomed. She gets a lot of attention from the trainers/employees, and they have also helped me understand how I can work with her on her behavior. They have also saved me from making expensive vet visits. We now no longer worry about our dog while we are out of town; compare that to the first time we left her with another boarding place up here; our dog tried to escape from her kennel and ended up ripping out one of her toenails, which was a traumatic experience for her and cost us $2000 in vet bills. Overall, we have been thrilled with our experience and find the people at LDC to be knowledgeable, kind, and caring animal lovers. Our dog loves the days she gets to "go to camp.""

"I am very sad that dogs have to deal with the confusion of new people taking care of them so often and are fed hotdogs and pasta nearly every day instead of real and healthy food. As well as the dogs' favorite employees that they connect with and learn from to be taken from them. Carolyn hired and fired, or drove away, over ten employees in less than two months. She lies and fires for absurd reasons as well as discriminates in the hiring process and client choices. I've never been in a more toxic and disrespectful work environment than this place. I fully expect her to comment on this and say untrue things, that's fine, it's who she is as a person, myself and all the employees she has driven away know what is factually true. Carolyn stays on a couch all day and does not step a single foot in the yard with the pups, ever, leading her to be unaware of anything that happens with the pups during the day. She talks badly about some dogs and does not properly read the behavior of others, leading her to put your companions in uncomfortable situations. Too unqualified and undignified to have a business with animals, or people. Dogs have been bit and left bleeding and we were told not to talk to the owners, it was absolutely dispicable. Please consider finding a more consistent and cleaner dog day care, one with enough employees that they dont have to constantly break up fights or leash all the dogs all day. I have cancer and other medical issues and was specifically hired to work only two days a week, my reason for being let go was "Because you are not able to fulfill the required work schedule," by working a third day but I was never asked if I could add another day to my permanent schedule. She does not uphold her business mantra."

"Carolyn and her staff are extended family to us. They have done so much to help raise and train our dog to be a sociable and loyal companion. She loves playing with all sizes of friends and we get thorough reports from the staff when we pick her up. Whether you’re new puppy parents like us or seasoned dog owners, this place will always communicate and strive to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog(s)."

"I bring both of my dogs to Love Dogs Camp for the past 6 months or so 3x a week and they absolutely LOVE it! They come home tired and happy everyday they go and sometimes don’t even want to leave can you believe it! I have 2 young very active dogs and the time they have spent at love dogs camp has helped tremendously with not just their physical enrichment but mental as well they are very well socialized and get along great with new dogs! I would recommend this facility as Carolyn cares so deeply for dogs and all of her staff share that same love for these wonderful doggies!!! Thank you love dogs camp!"
