Wisdom of the Pack Dog Day Camp

Over the past 7 months of taking my dog to WOTP, my dog's life and therefore my life has improved DRAMATICALLY! Before camp, every walk we took would be stressful for both me and my dog. I was afraid to take her to public places, knowing that she might have big behaviors around unknown dogs and people. Hilary, Mel, and Megan have helped me so much with creating a stronger bond with my dog with more trust in one another so that now we are able to go on walks without her growling, lunging or barking at other people/dogs, we can go places off leash (which I never ever in a million years thought we would be able to do), and we are able to be neutral and calm around my boyfriend and friends' dogs without any additional stress! My dog is visibly less anxious and is more excited to go out and about on adventures with me. Me and my dog are forever grateful for WOTP and all of the joy it has brought to our life ◡̈

So glad I found this bootcamp! Atlas has worked with a bunch of different trainers and this is the first time I’m really seeing a significant difference. They are so helpful and tailor everything to the dogs. They have so much structure and patience which is exactly what most dogs need. Could not recommend more. The cost is entirely worth it!!

A few months after meeting Hilary while she was leading a pack walk through our neighborhood, I reached out because Kobe—our French bulldog—had us at the end of our rope (again). He’s like ten dogs in one. Years ago, Kobe completed a 3-week board & train and absolutely thrived, but when we didn’t follow through at home, we quickly found ourselves almost right back where we started. Camp has been a total game changer. It provides the physical and mental stimulation Kobe needs. He’s usually "on" 24/7, but camp has also taught him (and us!) that doing nothing is actually doing something. The program Hilary and Melanie have created truly works. Kobe may be at camp, but we as pet parents have homework too—and that homework has made all the difference. It doesn’t take much, yet it’s incredibly effective. We love receiving video updates of Kobe at camp, surrounded by other "campers," thriving in such a safe and structured environment. I’m so grateful for Hilary, Melanie, and Megan—their expertise, thoughtfulness, and kindness mean everything. Stop thinking about joining camp and just do it. You and your dog won’t regret it. 🐾💙

I was originally introduced to Wisdom of the Pack by Hilary; she's an amazing trainer who I trust greatly. Hilary and Melanie together make a strong duo with endless patience and love for our pups. Over the course of a month, I noticed my dogs tolerance increase and improvement in his ability to relax faster. During his time with Wisdom of the Pack, I obtained a deeper understanding of how our dogs rely on us to guide and protect them. I realized that in moments of frustration or uncertainty, what my dog and I may need is a moment to stop, recollect ourselves, and try again. I think this has changed my approach to our training for the better. I highly recommend Wisdom of the Pack to anyone hoping to strengthen their relationship with their dog!

Wisdom of the Pack (Hilary and Melanie) have been amazing for our rescue pup! One of our main goals is for him to enable his OFF switch on his own and to also practice neutrality. I’d say after his first camp visit we already noticed improvements. One example: putting himself to place. It’s also great that Hilary and Melanie are available for questions. They always provide great advice and guidance with thorough instructions and sometimes with video! They’ve been really integral in our dogs success so far. We’ve loved WOTP so much that (at the time of this review) he currently about to start month three! We can’t wait for more growth and wins for him! I would recommend WOTP to anyone even remotely interested in a structured day camp! Hilary and Melanie are awesome and you can tell they truly care for the campers and handlers alike. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

We enrolled our pittie Ozzy in the day camp to help with his dog reactivity. We are already seeing a change after 3 weeks. We’ve learned so many great tips that are so simple to implement. He goes 3 days a week plus the monthly pack walk and extra field trips. Highly recommend to help your pup feel more comfortable in stressful situations!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Wisdom of the Pack. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond for us and our dog. They treat her as if she were their own—with so much care, understanding, and love. They’re always available to answer our questions, big or small, and they’ve supported us through all the emotions that come with raising and training our dog. Their guidance has been steady and encouraging. We especially appreciate their intentional approach to safe exposure to other dogs and real-life triggers.They create meaningful, controlled opportunities to practice in ways that have helped our dog build confidence and resilience. We truly feel like we’re not doing this alone—we have a compassionate, skilled team behind us, and we’re so grateful for everything they do!
