My Dog Camp is the complete program for turning your love of dogs into $400–$800 a day, walking dog packs and small group adventures outdoors.
At 24, I was working nights at a liquor store and gas station, feeling totally stuck and wondering if this was all life had to offer.
I was denied a position at my local doggie daycare. I didn't have a fancy degree or a background in dogs or business, just a deep love for dogs and a dream I couldn't stop thinking about.
I traveled across the US and UK, studying with some of the top pack-walking specialists in the world and absorbing everything I could. I blended what they taught me with what I was discovering on my own — and in time, went from zero experience to confidently pack walking 20 dogs off-leash in the mountains of Vermont… and building a business that gave me freedom, purpose, and real income.
What I didn't know was that everything I'd been doing intuitively was actually a system. A learnable system. The system that got me here is everything inside My Dog Camp. I built it for the version of me who was 24 and didn't know what came next.

A My Dog Camp day isn't a leash walk. It's a structured, premium door-to-door pack adventure — the kind of day that builds calm, focused dogs and a higher day rate.
You drive the route and pick each dog up from home. Door-to-door service is part of what makes a premium day rate worth it — clients are buying back their morning.
1–2 hours
The heart of the day. Calm intros, sustained movement, off-leash freedom under your leadership, and structured social time as the pack moves together.
1–2 hours
You drive each dog home, calm and satisfied. Owners feel it the moment they walk in — and it's the reason they stay enrolled and tell their friends about you.
1–2 hours
This is why a real dog camp charges $35–$60 per dog, per day. Owners aren't paying for storage. They're paying for a transformed dog — delivered to their door.
You need a proven method, real-world experience, and the willingness to start. We provide the first two.

They didn't have land, certifications, or business backgrounds. They followed the program and now run dog camps from rural farms, suburban trails, and mountain hollows across the country.

I'm not a magical dog whisperer. I just took the course and followed the program. Genuinely the most positive life change I've ever made.

I had taken the course thinking I'd just do it for fun on weekends. Now I'm full-time, full, and have a waitlist trying to get in.

Never would I have thought I'd get to this point but next thing I knew, I had 16 dogs one day.
Three students with no land, no certifications, no business background — built real careers from this program.
Pack walks aren't one-off bookings. When a client signs on, they reserve the same days every week, ongoing. Tuesdays are Tuesday's dogs. Thursdays are Thursday's dogs. You're not selling open slots one at a time — you're filling a weekly roster. Each dog books the same days every week, and once your roster is filled, it stays filled.
Each dog books the same days, week after week. Closer to a recurring membership than a one-off walk.
Fill your week once and the calendar holds. No weekly scramble to fill tomorrow's walks.
When you hit the number of dogs you're comfortable with, you stop taking new clients and start a waitlist.
This is why graduates can hit $400–$800 a day and keep hitting it — week after week.
Not Alexx. Not the graduates running camps at capacity today. Everyone starts small — and that's not a compromise, it's the right way to build.
Most graduates start with four dogs. Four. You run your full route — pickups, the walk, off-leash time, drop-offs — with four dogs until it feels easy. Then you add a fifth. Then a sixth. Some graduates stay at six because that's the business they want. Others reach twelve or fifteen over the course of a year or two. There's no race, and no “right” number except the one that works for you, your land access, and the dogs you've taken on.
The temptation when you're new is to fill every slot to hit the income numbers fast. Don't. The camp owners who succeed long-term build slowly — they earn their pack one dog at a time. Their reputation grows with their capacity. Their skill grows with their reputation. And by the time they're walking twelve dogs off-leash, they've earned it.
Four dogs is not “starting small.”
Four dogs is a real dog camp.
You scale only when those four feel easy.
The instinct when you're starting out is to say yes to every dog that comes your way. It's the fastest path to a chaotic pack, stressed dogs, and an exhausted you.
The dogs you accept determine everything — the energy of your pack, your safety on the trail, your reputation in your community, and whether you actually enjoy your days.
Inside the program, we teach you the full screening process: a written application, a phone interview, and a structured meet-and-greet that tells you within minutes whether a dog belongs in your pack. You'll learn what to look for, what to ask, and — just as importantly — how to confidently say no.
You don't have to build any of it from scratch. The program includes our pre-written client applications, intake questionnaires, and screening forms — the exact ones Rhonda uses with her own pack. Swap in your business name and you're ready to send them to your first inquiry.
A great dog camp isn't built by taking every dog. It's built by choosing the right ones.
Three pillars working together — the training, the business, and the mindset to sustain it.

Most graduates start without owning a single acre. Here's where they actually run their camps.
If you have a fenced yard or access to one, you have a starter camp.
State land, BLM trails, public forests. Free, plentiful, and exactly what off-leash packs thrive on.
Friends, family, farmers with empty pasture. We teach you the exact pitch that works.
Once you're earning, you can lease or buy. The "Find Private Land" training shows you exactly how.
If you have any one of these, you have everything you need to start.
"Today I am the happiest I have ever been in my career. GMCC has flourished into a bustling small business where I'm making more than my traditional career in marketing!"
Sara · Green Mountain Canine Camp
"I was so burnt out from rescue work. The transition was easy. There is no guilt or pressure to show up when I need time off — and I am financially in a much better place."
Tasha · Misty Mountain Mutts
"My mom thought it was a pyramid scheme. She thinks it's so funny now — she looks at me and how successful my business is. If you're on the fence, just do it."
Cassidy · Peck's Adventure Pack
"Each year I take a month off plus a few 2-week vacations. I don't have any other friends with that type of flexibility in their schedule. My Dog Camp was a true blessing for this adventure-seeking dog lover."
Rachel · Tranquil Dog Care and Camp
The program works when the person is right for it. Here's who fits — and who doesn't.
Honest answers, not pressure-sells. If you're going to commit, you should commit clear-eyed.
"What if I don't have any land?"
Truth: Most graduates start without owning land. The Find Private Land training walks you through every realistic option for your area.
"What if I can't quit my job yet?"
Truth: Don't. The program is built for slow growth. Start part-time, prove the model in your area, then scale when you're ready.
"What if my market is too small?"
Truth: A small market often beats a big one. You only need 10–15 regular clients to clear $80k+. Most rural towns have that many.
"What if a dog gets hurt on my watch?"
Truth: The safety protocols, intake assessments, and pack-pairing systems exist for exactly this reason. We teach insurance & contracts too.
"What if I'm not 'a dog person'?"
Truth: If you genuinely enjoy them, that's enough. The skills are learnable. The temperament has to be there already.
"What if it doesn't work in my area?"
Truth: Graduates run camps in 30+ states. Climate, terrain, density — none of it is a dealbreaker. The 30-day guarantee is real.
"What if I'm new to professional dog work?"
Truth: Most students are. The curriculum starts at the foundation. No prior credentials assumed or required.
"What if I need permits or licenses?"
Truth: It varies by state and county. We cover the typical requirements — but you'll need to verify locally. Most areas have a clear path.
"What if I just don't like the program?"
Truth: 30 days, full refund, no questions. Try the first two modules, decide. We don't keep your money if it's not the right fit.
The only question left is whether you start now or six months from now.
Try the program. If it's not for you, get every dollar back.
Full access to the program for 30 days — every module, every lesson, the community, all of it.
There isn't one. Email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no friction.
This program is for committed people. If it's not the right fit, neither of us benefits — and you should keep your money.
Sound fair? — Rhonda
Four steps. The pace is yours.
Module 01 starts at the foundation. Pack leadership, dog psychology, and how to read a pack before you ever take one out.
Your first walk. Four dogs you've personally screened. Full route from pickup to drop-off.
Add a fifth dog when four feels easy. Then a sixth. The system tells you when you're ready, not the calendar.
When one walk reaches your comfort capacity, you start a waitlist — or open a second daily walk. Scale by walks, not chaos.
And whenever you get stuck, the community of 200+ is right there.
