Southern Berkshire Dog Camp

I’m Erica, a dog trainer and owner of Southern Berkshire Dog Camp.

After many fulfilling years as a teacher, I followed my passion for dogs, blending my love for education into the world of canine training. Now, I teach both dogs and their humans, using my background in education to create a unique, supportive, and play-based learning environment. My goal is to help dogs build confidence, develop good behavior, and strengthen their bond with their owners-all while having fun.

Southern Berkshire Dog Camp offers exclusive off-leash hiking adventures for friendly, well-mannered dogs. With a focus on basic obedience, socialization, and confidence-building, our structured hikes provide exercise, enrichment, and fun.
