Welcome to Basecamp

Eighty acres, and a dog who finally has room to think.

Programs run on A private 80-acre property in Mayook, BC. Follow the trail through it — the arrival, the training ground, the walk the pack takes every day.

Meet the dogs

Every dog here arrived with a story already in progress.

Choose a portrait to read that dog's story in their own voice — or let one of them walk the rest of the trail with you.

Dog names, portraits and stories are published only with the owner's permission and the client's approved wording. The records above are placeholders until that material is supplied.

Where K9 Basecamp began

Before K9 Basecamp became a place, it began with a dog named Joe.

Joe was the heart and the beginning of K9 Basecamp. His full story belongs here — and will be told in the words of the people who knew him.

Eligibility and details

How the journey begins

You don't have to know what your dog needs yet.

That's what the first hour with Chris is for.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about your dog

    Complete the Client Questionnaire so Chris knows what life looks like before you meet.

  2. Step 2

    Meet Chris

    A free one-hour Dog Behaviour Assessment with you, your dog, and the relevant members of your family.

  3. Step 3

    Receive a recommendation

    Chris offers ideas about how he may be able to help, and which program fits the dog in front of him.

  4. Step 4

    Begin the work together

    The program starts — lessons, a package, or Board & Train.

  5. Step 5

    Continue the foundation at home

    Go Home and follow-up lessons carry the work into your daily life.

We build the foundation. The owner continues the work.

Real results

Proof, connected to the dog it belongs to.

Each review here is designed to open the story of the dog it's about — once the client confirms which review belongs to which dog.

[CLIENT TO PROVIDE: approved review excerpts, the exact published author names or initials, the source of each review, and permission to display them.]
