The owner is EXTREMELY rude! During the initial "interview" it came out that he has been sued numerous times and that it would not work out as my mother looks like the "kind of person that would sue" him... Will be bringing the dog elsewhere... read more

We love K9 Kamp. John is amazing with all the dogs and Cooper loves him! When we first got Cooper an Australian Shepard we were nervous to leave him anywhere but both my husband and I worked all day at the time and didn't want to leave him in the house all day. We had checked out a bunch of doggie day cares and then finally we checked out K9 Kamp. When we got there and met John instantly we felt comfortable leaving Cooper with him. He scooped Coop up and gave a big hug and checked him out, cut his nails and brushed him. I knew when we left him there he would be loved but kept in line. The daycare is super clean, John is a neat freak. He is always cleaning everything and doing some task when you are picking up or dropping off your dog. The place is huge and the dogs have a lot of area to run around in. There is also a huge heated area that has hammocks and places for the dogs to lay inside on cold or rainy days. Also, Cooper gets a bath every week and he comes home every Friday fresh clean. Cooper has now been going here for almost two years and he loves it. We now have a baby so I am home but we still bring Cooper there most days because he loves it so much and gets all his energy out. He gets so excited when we turn into the K9 Kamp drive way, if his window is open he has jumped out the window and runs to the gate or John, that is how much he loves going here. We love K9 Kamp and John and we highly recommend bringing your doggie here! read more

This is a great place and John is very talented with all of the dogs. I boarded my dog with him for almost 3 weeks around Thanksgiving. When I returned, Ruffuss was healthy, happy, clean, and even had his nails clipped (an almost impossible task no one else was able to accomplish!) UPDATE: John is back!!! Yay! read more

We first met John, the owner when our Springer Spaniel needed obedience training. John was willing to come out to our home to work with us one-on-one. He gave us great pointers and offered us many toys and treats to offset the price of a home visit. When our dog walker was unable to continue with our schedule, we made the decision to send our dog here. He plays here 3-4 days a week, has met some wonderful "friends" and always comes home exhausted. K9 Kamp is advertised as an "at risk facility." Translation: The dogs play hard. I have recommended this facility to many fellow dog owners, but send them with this warning: It is a military operated facility (ask John some stories one day!), and the dogs will play hard. My husband and I are fine with that as we both know our dog needs to be put in his place at times by other dogs. I trust John 100% with my dog and know that he gets the attention he needs. John always keeps us updated on his behavior and lets us know if he feels B needs more training/correction. And for those of you with Springers, you all know that anytime a Springer comes home tired...well, it's a good day. : ) read more

John is great. We have an energetic black lab/boarder collie mix. He LOVES to run and play. Before we rescued him, his foster home had 10+ dogs so he loves to play. John was great with him. He would make sure our dog was sent home tired. I will say this, K-9 kamp isn't for everyone. The dogs play hard. Our dog often came come dirty (just from playing outside with other dogs all day). John has a very unique personality which can defiantly rub people the wrong way. But we did not have any problems. read more

K9 Kamp sold to a different owner who renamed it "Doggy Hut". Thank you John for everything!! read more

Drake has been going to K-9 camp since he was 6 months old (with a brief interruption when it changed hands to Doggie Hut) now we're back with Jon (glad to have you back!) Place is immaculate and the owner knows what he's doing! Btw Drake is now 10 years old :) read more

This is the best doggy daycare in Abington, hands down. I've been to 3 in the area and they don't even compare. John, the owner, is the coolest guy who has 30+ years of military canine experience. He KNOWS dogs. His facility is the cleanest I have ever seen, which is super important. My dog always comes home smelling good. No bullshit nap times or caged in areas for temperaments. The dogs know who the alpha is at that daycare. This is a doggy boot camp for high energy dogs who want to play all day. I have nothing but positive things to say for John and his business. He's done an excellent job with my lab and I'm so grateful when I pick up one pooped (and clean) puppy! read more

I had to go away for 5-days on business and left our 2-Yorkie-Poo puppies with John. He is a professional kennel operator with a police and military background. The yard is spotless and the dogs are allowed to roam the giant enclosed yard freely. When John barks out an order, the entire pack immediately responds and listens. The treatment and care of our puppies was A+++. Highly recommend K9 Kamp. Top notch! Because we are new dog parents, we texted John a couple times to check on our 'boys'. John immediately responded back with text pictures of the boys.....really nice of him... read more

We have two lab pups, Bosco and Harlow. I trust John with my dogs when they are there, they have a good time, tails wagging when we arrive in the morning, and are SO tired when we get home. John always tells me how they were during the day, and is honest and so knowledgable. The smile on his face when we pull up in the morning makes me confident he loves my dogs as much as we do, and he treats them with the utmost respect they deserve. My dogs love him, and that tells me that he does a great job!!!!! They sleep for days when they come home. His staff is so sweet, always smiling and my dogs go to them without hesitation. Flexible, confident and comfortable are the words I would use to describe K9 Kamp. What a great find. read more

If I had wrote this review a few months ago after our first visit I would have given a five star. After our dogs visit today I would take all those stars back. Our French bulldog came home not dripping blood (which he was from three paws) but the fourth paw was pouring blood. My husband put a plastic bag on it for the 5 min drive home and there was a puddle in the bag. I understand their nails can bleed when cut short but first off you are a professional I expect nothing more then a slight nick... Four paws bleeding at pick up 3 required us to repack them and cover with papertowels and my kids socks. This is unacceptable read more

John is a true "dog expert." You just couldn't ask for someone better than him. When we got our large, mixed breed puppy, we checked out a couple local doggie daycare facilities. Although, they were all run by dog lovers, K-9 Kamp is the only place where you are going to find someone who has professional-level expertise working with dogs. John is always honest and gives you daily updates on your dog's behavior (our dog is not always an angel - he sometimes chews things he shouldn't and barks), but John has worked with us to curb our dog's barking (John let us borrow an electric bark collar until the behavior improved) and helped us with some of the other behaviors that come as puppies grow. John is also an honest business owner. John is a man of true integrity. His prices are very fair and reasonable, and he puts his customers first. Our dog loves K-9 Kamp, and we love John. He is the absolute "alpha dog" of the pack, and you can tell that the dogs know it. He doesn't tolerate aggressive behavior, and expel dogs from the daycare if he deems them too aggressive. He KNOWS dogs. And he keeps his pack safe and happy. I would recommend John and K-9 Kamp to anyone for every reason. This is a wonderful, honest business run by a man of integrity and professional experience. read more

One word "The Best" I just got a 2 year old rescue and walking him was becoming a challenge because he would freeze up and not move at time during the walk. John gave me the skills I needed to correct the behavior and it worked. Now walking "Sam" is a pleasure,highly recommend for anyone that needs help with their dog. Thanks John !!! read more

We take our large and very energetic hound mix to K9 whenever we go out of town. Our guy LOVES it. He jumps out of the car and drags us in the door. He always comes home exhausted, happy and clean and frankly better behaved than when we dropped him off. Prices are affordable and I love that he is not trapped in a crate. I do think if you have a smaller more gentle dog then this place is not for you. Also, I think the owner is great but is is certainly a frank, straight talker and if you need to be placated and schmoozed then this is not the right place for you. If you want your big dog happy and tired then sign them up. I never worry about my guy when we are on vacation and he loves to go there! read more

John is accommodating and has taken great care of Kalani and Tigger over the years. K9 Kamp is clean and friendly. The staff and John love animals and truly take care of them like their own. Thank you John!! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE!!! We have taken our small, usually mellow dog to several groomers without any problem. My wife just returned from this place in tears with our dog bleeding everywhere from her nails. A man called my wife and berated her on the phone saying our dog was out of control. They were also extremely rude. read more

I took my puppy there today for a training session and John was incredible! so kind and thorough and my dog loved him!

We've been using K9 Kamp for years, mostly for overnight stays here and there when we we're going out of town. This summer, however we've had to get Baxter out of the house as we have construction going on. We've been leaving him with John at K9 Kamp several days a week. What an amazing difference we've noticed in Baxter's behavior. His body language and energy are communicating positive messages. He's listening, following commands, and best of all, howling much less. Bax comes home happy and tired. The place is spotless! The dogs run and play freely in the large fenced in yard. They have the freedom to roam inside a large covered space with plenty of dog cots to get out of the heat, cold, rain, etc. John is very attentive to his dogs. He is astute and picks up on their habits and different personalities. There's evidence of his military K9 background when he disciplines the dogs with his drill instructor voice. The dogs know he means business, but they also know that the tough guy walking around in those combat pants and black boots is smart and funny and very nurturing and compassionate. He's a big marshmallow who is interested in the well being of each and every dog in his care. With John at the helm, K9 Kamp is the best dog facility in the area. read more

K-9 Kamp is the best! The owner and his employees have always been helpful. You can tell how much they love dogs. There is plenty of room for them to run around and play. They have always taken great care of my dogs. read more

First let me tell you that there is no one better than John. A true dog expert. He displays a passion for his work that I have not seen in other trainers. That being said, if you are some mamby pamby, you will not like this place. It is military based. He knows dogs and he knows how to train them. He is the leader of the pack!!!!! read more

I have been bringing my dog here for a few months now. She loves it and comes home tired and happy. John the owner is great. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. read more
