Welcome to Canine Field of Dreams
We are excited to meet you and your pup(s)! At Canine Field of Dreams, each client we meet is special to us and we are honored that you chose to trust the care of your pups with us. The first step to joining Canine Field of Dreams is to schedule a tour and trial day visit.
Our Policies
To ensure our clients have the very best time at camp and/or boarding, we have a few criteria that all dog(s) must meet to be able to join us. Unfortunately, if your dog does not meet the criteria, we will not be able to take your dog as a client to Canine Field of Dreams.

The Trial Visit
-
All dogs must pass a trial day before being accepted for Boarding and/or Day Camp (Day Care).
-
A 20 minute tour may be set up prior to your trial day.
-
Trial day cost $49.50 first dog, $44.50 second dog (taxes and fees not included).
-
Tours are available at drop off or pick up on your trial day if wanted. Please be aware that while we have client dogs in our boarding building, we do not tour the kennel area to make sure client dogs stay comfortable. A virtual tour is available on our facilities page.
-
A trial is very important to make sure that your pup feels safe, comfortable and happy with us. We do not accept any anxious or excessive barkers as that would disrupt the peaceful atmosphere that we offer to our guests.
-
During the trial we spend one on one time with the Camp Counselors, introduce them to other pup(s), and take naps throughout the day.
-
We send daily updates with pictures of your dog's day. We keep you updated throughout the day of the progress and at the end of the trial we let you know if your pup has been accepted.
