Owner:
Tammy Bochinski has been a dog trainer for over 9 years. She first got started going to the Tom Rose School for dog trainers. After graduating there she became involved in the APDT (Associated Pet Dog Trainers). This led her to using positive training methods in her teachings. She travels all across the country going to seminars to learn the latest and greatest methods in positively training your dog. She takes in a lot of foster dogs from many organizations and rehomes them. She loves to work with blind and deaf dogs as she has fostered many of them. She ran Timber Ridge Doggie Daycare successfully for over 6 years and now owns Camp K-9 Resort. She has 4 dogs of her own. Timber a 10 year old Golden Retriever that loves to please anyone. Ask about his tricks when you come to visit. Taffy is a 9 year old yellow Labrador that never stops playing ball. Then there is Tye, a 15 lb Jack Russell Terrier mix that was a stray. He is about 7 now but loves to keep all the boarders very busy with play. We have a new addition to our family Tiki - a Maltese/Pomeranian mix.
We dedicate ourselves to never lose sight of our responsibility to your furkids.
At Camp K-9 Resort, our focus is for your dog. This is an opportunity for a day to be filled with excitement, fun and new experiences.
Considered one of the finest camps for dogs, our reputation has been built on the conviction that your dog deserves the very best we have to offer.
We hope this website gives you a feeling for Camp K-9 Resort. We invite and encourage you to visit us. We will show you the camp first hand.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I've been playing with the dogs at Camp K-9 Resort since May 2008. I first heard of Camp K-9 when my own young Golden Retriever Merlin was in need of a LOT more exercise than I felt I could provide him. So a few times a week I sent him off to daycare and he would come home tired and happy (and not chewing up my shoes!!). I wasn't working at the time, and when Tammy opened the new facility I asked her if she needed any new employees. Lucky for me she did. Now Merlin gets to come to work with me! Prior to coming to Camp K-9, I worked in my family business in Pineville for 18 years. After so many years of managing people and production it's quite a change managing dogs, and it's definitely a whole lot more fun! I grew up with dogs, everything from mixes to Great Danes to Cocker Spaniels, and have always had a passion for them. This passion has also led me into dog rescue and I'm a volunteer and foster home for the Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte. I have become very attached to "our" dogs at daycare and it's a blast getting to play with them while they're here. I look forward to it everyday! When I'm not at camp, I'm spending time with my husband Scott, walking/playing with Merlin and my various foster dogs or playing with my cat Butter
Angela has always grown up around dogs and other wild life. She worked closely with her mom who was a member of ARC. After adopting her last dog, a 9 month old American Pitt Bull Terrier, she knew her career in Country Club Service was over. She is now excelling in a positive dog training program at Penn Foster Career School. She hopes to graduate at the beginning of 2009. Angela has 2 Great Danes and 2 Pitt Bulls. She takes great pride in her work at Camp K9 Resort and loves all the dogs there as though they were her own.
My name is Debbie and I am a very outgoing, energetic, fun loving person who loves the outdoors. I have been with Camp K9 Resort since its beginning, and before that I was with Timber Ridge Doggie Day Care and Training. Since I have been working with Tammy it has allowed me to become more understanding of the needs of our dogs here.
My career has always been with school aged children and working in the healthcare and child development areas of the school system. After moving to South Carolina 5 years ago from Upstate New York I worked as a daycare teacher, till the daycare closed. There I had a chance meeting with Tammy, which led to my career change. With the change of my career I realized how similar caring for children and dogs are. I absolutely love my new career and life here in South Carolina. I have become very compassionate about all the dogs I have come to know, and that compassion has allowed me to rescue two of my own pets.
When I am not at work you can find me hanging out with Harley my American White Shepherd and my two little kitties Romeo and Juliet.
Michelle’s life went to the dogs with the purchase of her first Great Dane Maris. After that she was hooked. She and her husband of 19 years started volunteering for Great Dane Rescue of the Carolina’s and Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue. While working with rescue she has fostered several Danes, most of which were deaf.
She changed her career path, which had always been administrative, to an animal related field. She worked at Eastridge Animal Hospital for 8 years, until chemical allergies forced her to do something else. So she paid her friend Tammy a visit. And as luck would have it Tammy needed help. Michelle has worked for Camp K-9 since February 2008. She drives the van week day mornings. She also works at the daycare, playing with the dogs as well as helping with some of the administrative duties.
Michelle still has Maris, who is 9 years old now and another Great Dane they just adopted named Hendrix who is 4. Not to mention the other fur kids that she lives with. There are 2 Standard Poodles, Bishop who is 5 and Lila who the pound said was 3 years old, then there is Max, a 6 year old dachshund. Last but by no means least, the girls. 12 year old DSH named Wookie, and DSH October who is 7.
