Academy Day

What are academy days?

Academy Day is an enrichment based camp that focuses on a mix of education, fun sensory challenges, and smaller, more curated play groups.

Our goal for Academy Day is to offer a mix of physical and mental stimulation to help give dogs a well rounded social experience at camp. There are many proven benefits of enrichment helping promote calmer, more relaxed dogs, better problem solving and building confidence in pups who might struggle in new situations.

What do Academy Days Look Like?

All Academy Day activities are pre planned and the schedule can be found on our social media accounts or you can sign up to recieve the schedules via email every month. Every day, dogs will attend an individual activity where they will get one on one attention during an activity with our Academy Day councelor. After individual activites are completed, dogs will enjoy some social time and a group activity with their Academy Day classmates. Over lunchtime, dogs enjoy a naptime enrichment while they get some well deserved rest. After naptime is over, we start activities back up with some enrichment puzzles and round the day off with more social time in the yards.

Academy Day Activity Schedule

Dogs must be clients at Hot Diggity Doggie Camp to attend Academy Days. To become a client, please reach out to their reception at (205)345-4939 or email at hddcnorthport@gmail.com

individual Activity:

stays

Need your dog to brush up on their “stay” cues? Keep a look out for our “Stays!” activity on our Academy Day calendar. We start by building the dog’s understanding of the word “stay” and start working on distance, duration, and distractions while the dog remains in the stay.
