Puppy-focused program helps pups grow into
confident adult dogs
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Camp Bow Wow®,
the nation's leading doggy day care and boarding franchise, has
launched Pawsitive Start Jr., an educational program developed by
Camp Bow Wow's Animal Health and Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, and is tailored to puppies ages 4
months to 1 year that sets them up for a happier, healthier future
through socialization, learning, play and enrichment.
Like toddlers attending preschool, pups who visit Camp Bow Wow
for Pawsitive Start Jr. experience a structured routine that
includes:
- Daily group playtime for socialization with other dogs
- A rotating daily activity focusing on essential skills,
positive experiences and exposure to new objects
- Cabin enrichment time for puppies to engage in food puzzles and
calming activities
- Designated nap times
- Daily report cards to keep pet parents updated on their
Camper's progress
The program also offers pet parent education, with informational
handouts to help human companions continue their puppy's
development at home.
"Dogs who continue their socialization throughout puppyhood are
more likely to be comfortable around other dogs and humans and in
new situations as adults," said Camp Bow Wow's Animal Health and
Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, MSc,
CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA. "Our new program offers a comprehensive approach
designed to help young dogs thrive, lead happier lives with their
families and have more fun at Camp when their parents are
away."
Camp Bow Wow has welcomed over 50 million dog visits since
opening its first Camp in 2000. Pawsitive Start Jr. is the latest
addition to the brand's range of services that demonstrate its
commitment to providing the highest levels of fun, safety and
service for Campers and peace of mind for their parents.
"As a leader in the doggy day care and boarding space, we
designed Pawsitive Start Jr. as yet another way we can further our
mission of Making Dogs Happy while reinforcing our commitment to
improving the health and wellbeing of dogs," said Camp Bow Wow
President Julie Turner. "Our new
program is perfect for young dogs, as it addresses their needs for
play, learning, social interaction and rest. By fostering the
development of essential social and cognitive skills, we can play a
vital role in a puppy's journey to create a lasting, positive
impact in puppies' lives and offer support to pet parents."
The Pawsitive Start Jr. program has been successfully tested at
select Camp Bow Wow locations and will be rolling out to additional
Camps across North America over
the coming months. To sign up, pet parents can check with their
local Camp to confirm participation. For more information, visit
