Fine Print

1. Additional dog – working. Campers can bring a 2nd dog for an additional fee ($500) for both dogs to be working. If you plan on bringing an additional dog, both dogs must be able to be quiet and happy on their own while you are working with the other. You will not be able to focus on the 2nd dog while working. If this might be a problem, consider only working one dog. It is your responsibility to be on time and no extra time will be given if you need to take care of the additional dog(s). ​

2. Additional dogs - not working. Case by case situation. Contact Aleks if you would like to discuss. Non-working dogs must be content on their own and will not bother/affect other campers. If any issues arise from additional dogs, you will be asked to leave.
