Camp met my expectations times ten. It was all, and so much more, than I always wanted for my dog and myself. Camp Unleashed changes lives profoundly for the dogs and their people.

The experience of bonding and communicating with my dog in her language is unlike anything else in my life.

Camp Unleashed was a way for me to give my dog a chance to really be a dog - run, dig, play, swim, etc. Seeing my dog's joy every day made this a vacation I'll always remember.

Camp Unleashed allows me to bond with my dog in a way I can nowhere else. My dog is allowed to be himself, with a joy and a freedom that I cannot offer him in the real world. I find that I relax more too, being around like-minded people and tapping into dog-like qualities--living in the moment, enjoying nature, taking pleasure in my surroundings and just letting go.

Camp Unleashed is the single most special and best "vacation" I have and ever will take. I look forward to and it keeps me going. Just to actually spend 24/7 with my dogs and do fun things we all enjoy is what means the most to me.

It has totally changed my perspective on my dog... It made me realize how essential having time with her outside, just being together (instead of inside, together) is to both of us....
To see Bean flying down the beach or running with other dogs or sniffing along a trail with her tail wagging was incredible, and something I'll never forget. It's also meant a changed perspective for myself - being able to be 'unplugged' and just living moment to moment with a dog, even if it's just for a little while, has become essential.

INCREDIBLE! I have been around dogs my whole life, worked as a trainer, competed and won titles in dog sports with my dogs, written NYT best-sellers about dogs and still learned things at camp. Not to mention: If it wasn't the best four days of my life in the last 30 years, it was certainly tied. My dogs loved it. My 14-year-old, dying hospice dog came to life! And my 2-year-old crazy retriever grew up a little.

I simply love this camp! Without outside interference from the tv and internet, I am totally focused on my dogs and the simple joys that they experience by exploring their world without restraint. The other staff and campers are like minded individuals that enjoy seeing their dogs live the life they were intended to live. I love the friendliness of everyone at camp.

Thanks for your wonderful selection of lecturers. I have started making my own dog food and have been doing massage and Reiki on my 11½ year-old Elkhound. She is bouncing with health and happiness!

For me Camp is a retreat, a time to remind
myself to stay open to having a two-way conversation with my dogs, a
place to deepen our relationship and learn not only how to talk to and
teach my dogs but also how to listen to and learn from them.
Each time we come to Camp Unleashed I learn something about myself and my life with dogs.

What do you do at Camp Unleashed? by Mary Gilbert, from Camp Unleashed Berkshires, June 2011 on Vimeo.
Camp Unleashed gave us the opportunity to leave the city and enjoy country life for four days. In the past we've taken Buddy on our vacation. This time I feel like Buddy's taken me on his and we both had a great time.

An INCREDIBLE adventure for all... we are very active at home but to do things together unleashed is MOST amazing. WE LOVE Camp Unleashed and can't wait to come back in 2012!
--Kelli-Ann Reilly, Fort Myers, FL 2011 Asheville
It was amazing. Not only do I have PTSD, and VERY rarely go out, but my dog Moose is very people shy. At camp we both felt safe enough to be who we really are. It was a wonderful break from the real world, such an amazing crew and such a great group of dog lovers that made my dogs and I feel welcome and "normal". I loved every single second of it.

My dog and I are so much more bonded than ever before. I have much great confidence in her off-leash ability/behavior. I feel like I understand her better. Being able to focus solely on my dog for a few days has really made a difference. Allowing her to just "be a dog" and do her thing as a dog was absolutely wonderful!

Camp Unleashed was a fabulous re-connection and refreshing break of routine for me & Mr. Darcy. He was in doggy heaven and didn't stop smiling for 4 days! We were BOTH off-leash and free to relate to each other in a whole new and wonderful way. Now at home, our on-leash walks are easier. We seem to understand each other better. And we're more in love than ever!

Camp Unleashed is a time for Nola and I to just unwind and be who we are - stepping into each other's world.

We saved all year for this trip and it is the BEST money we every spent. I can't say enough nice things about what camp does for the dogs. But I think it does even more for the owners:)
