Serving Towson, Timonium, Parkville and beyond Doggie Boarding Towson

You truly are the best. Apr 21, 2026

When I first brought Mila to Camp Bow Wow, it was after a traumatic experience. She had been attacked twice by a neighbor’s off-leash dog. Both attacks caused physical injuries that required emergency care, and the second was especially severe—she needed two surgeries. Even more heartbreaking, the second attack happened in our own yard, which had always been her safe place. After that, she no longer felt safe anywhere. Mila became extremely fearful, even around dogs she used to be friends with. She was constantly on edge—reactive, defensive, barking much more than usual, and lunging at anything or anyone. Even her eyes seemed different. I knew I couldn’t help her through this on my own. That’s when we turned to Camp Bow Wow. After speaking with their trainer, Tommy Bates, we decided to enroll Mila in their two-week Board and Train program. It was a very difficult decision for me because I felt like she needed me close. But I also knew I wasn’t making progress on my own. Mila’s veterinarian had recommended seeking professional help, and Camp Bow Wow was on that list. There truly aren’t words to express how grateful I am for Camp Bow Wow, their Board and Train program, and their incredible staff—people who genuinely take the time to know and care for your dog. And especially Tommy Bates, who worked what felt like magic with Mila. One of the things that meant so much to me was being able to watch Mila on the cameras during her stay. In the beginning, when she was placed in the yard with other dogs, she would sit with her back against the wall, watching, too afraid to engage. It broke my heart because Mila has always loved to play. Day after day, I watched her sit there… until one day, she took food from Tommy’s hand. I could see him sitting patiently beside her, waiting for her to trust him. And then—something beautiful happened. Mila began to trust. Then she began to play. Soon, she was running around, approaching other dogs, playing freely—even inviting dogs she didn’t know to join her. I was moved to tears watching her come back to life. We ended up extending her Board and Train for an additional week, and it was the best decision we could have made for her. Now, we’re continuing with a group class at Camp Bow Wow, and Mila enjoys it. She’s still a work in progress—and so am I—but we’re both learning so much. At home, she practices what she’s learned, and I couldn’t be prouder of how brave she’s becoming. I cannot thank the staff, the trainers, the other dogs at camp 😊, and especially Tommy Bates enough for everything you’ve done—and continue to do—for Mila. You truly are the best. With heartfelt thanks, Saundra, Rafael, and Mila Yoda 🐾

He had a blast! Apr 14, 2026

We were nervous about sending our fur baby away for the first time. He had a blast! The staff are excellent and comforting; they even texted us mid-day to let us know how he was adjusting. He has a new home away from home. He will be back 😊

We Love the People at Camp Bow Wow Mar 27, 2026

So happy Camp Bow Wow opened up in Timonium. When we got our dog, we started out using them for overnight boarding, but now we also take him for day care he loves it so much. We love the people. Vickie is amazing and the staff all know our dog Gunner by name as soon as he walks through the door. I recommend CBW if you want to make sure your pup is in good hands and loved when you're not with them!

She loves it! Mar 27, 2026

My dog attends camp occasionally when I have to be away for more than a few hours. She loves it! Everyone at camp is so friendly and they always remember my pup! She has also had baths and always comes home looking great.

Camp Bow Wow Has Been Wonderful Mar 26, 2026

Camp Bow Wow has been wonderful for my dog. Instead of lying around watching me work, he gets to go hang out and play with his dog and human friends. Gunnar loves the staff at Camp Bow Wow, so I feel completely at ease leaving him. The special activities that they do with the dogs are on display throughout my house, and I think Gunnar has fun doing them too! The onsite training has been invaluable to both of us over the past 2 years. The facilities are clean and safe, and I look forward to many more pictures with Santa!
