How to get started

The Interview

Call us at 203-744-WAGS or email us at thepoop@wagsdaycamp.com to schedule an enrollment interview for your camper. We will ask you some brief questions on the phone and set up your appointment

Interviews are conducted most afternoons and an appointment is required. Click here to see our current interview schedule.

For their safety, no children are permitted to be present while we conduct the interview. The interview involves introducing your dog to a variety of other dogs, some of whom may be frightened of, or intimidating to, children. Please either make other arrangements for your children or they will have to stay outside while the interview is conducted.

On the day of your interview please bring the following:

  • The completed enrollment forms (available below for download)
  • Proof of vaccinations and fecal test as described in the preceeding section. Or you can call your veterinarian and ask them to fax us that information in advance to 203-798-0679.
  • Your excited camper, on leash! All dogs entering or exiting the facility are required to be on leash for their safety.

Touring Wags

Tours of our facility are given Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs 6-7pm and Sunday 3pm-6pm, no appointment needed. We cannot walk you through the facility during other times since our dogs are not in cages and the playrooms are in use. During tour hours we have few enough dogs to close them in the lounge so we can show you our gym and yards.
