About Pet Camp

Dog sports on five acres in St. Augustine

Pet Camp is a dog training and dog sport venue on five acres of countryside about five minutes from downtown St. Augustine, serving St. Johns County since 1998. Its focus is now limited training and dog sport classes, and the property has a 50-foot pool with a dock, competition agility equipment and field, and fenced play yards. Head trainer and founder Silke describes her training as positive, upbeat and highly effective. She formed and led a local K-9 search and rescue team in the early 2000s and has competed in agility, frisbee and other dog sports for years.
