Welcome to
A Dog's Life
Country Camp and Spa
Our Mission
Hi! My name is Stephanie Pennino, owner of A Dog’s Life Camp and Spa and a lifetime animal lover. My facility is a small, private dog boarding and training camp located on 4.5 acres in the rural Catskill Mountains. It is my personal mission to create a quiet and peaceful environment with many opportunities for fun, play and adventure!
Here I strive to create a loving environment that is your pup’s home away from home. Whether you are boarding or training, every dog is given individualized care to meet their needs. I have over 10 years experience in animal behavior and specialize in desensitization training, fear-based aggression, resource guarding, and leash-reactivity.
I am available via text for updates or questions. Pictures and videos are posted frequently on social media throughout your dog’s stay.
Transportation services are provided throughout the Tri-State Area. Please see the Boarding and Training pages for more details.
Call/text Stephanie at 845-807-4732 to make a reservation today!!!

Testimonials
I have total peace of mind when Kendi is at camp and am confident in Stephanie and her team who are genuinely dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for the dogs. Additionally, if your dog has special needs, they have the experience to also manage a range of situations.
Stephanie and the team at A Dog's Life have been wonderful to work with - incredibly supportive and responsive, scheduling additional house calls and training sessions as needs arise. I was nervous to send our puppy away for training, but it made all the difference.
My pups have been going to A Dog's Life for a couple of years. Best boarding we've ever had. They always have a great time and I love the pics of them running and playing. Sometimes. I worry they won't want to come home! But they are always happy and freshly bathed when they arrive. It truly is a vacation for them and I can relax knowing they are in great hands.
