ABOUT PHILLY CANINE SOCIAL CLUB
What can Philly Canine Social Club provide for you and your dog?
Philly Canine Social Club is a place where dogs come to learn healthy social skills in a safe, structured, and balanced environment. Our dogs receive biological fulfillment (i.e. the opportunity to express their natural canine selves) through repeated positive social interactions with other dogs. Socializing is guided by Jeremy Burger, a dog behaviorist with over twenty years of experience. A day at PCSC includes rest time to prevent overstimulation, which often leads to behavior problems and incidents at typical daycares. PCSC is a place where dogs come to learn, grow, and to become the best versions of themselves.
HOURS & PRICING
Hours: Monday to Friday 8am until 5pm
Pricing: $55 per day. $50 for dogs attending two or more times per week. $40 each dog for multiple dog households.
AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR PACK:
JEREMY BURGER, OWNER
Dog Behaviorist
Jeremy Burger has been helping dogs in Philadelphia since the early 2000’s when he left his office job to become a dog walker. Fairly quickly, he realized he had an ability to work with dogs that needed help with their social skills. He eventually moved on and became co-owner of The Philly Pack where he developed his skills as a dog behaviorist, focusing on in-home training and eventually opening a dog school, Philly Pack Canine Enrichment Center. After a fire forced PPCEC to close their doors, Jeremy began focusing his energies on teaching dogs healthy social skills and offering on-leash conditioning through pack walks. He is excited to begin his latest chapter as Owner and Operator of Philly Canine Social Club.
MOOSE
Canine Affairs Assistant
Moose has been Jeremy’s assistant for many years. He has a true knack for helping dogs learn and grow through being a positive roll model. Moose was also the inspiration for the PCSC logo.

TESTIMONIALS
PATRICK RYAN
“Lady Kensington”
“Our rescued boxer has been transformed by the folks at the Philly Canine Social Club.
We strongly recommend Philly Canine Social Club!”
LORI FOXWORTH
“Bella”
“I cannot recommend Jeremy and his Philly Canine Social Club highly enough! I never thought I'd see the day when our rescue pittie could hang out all day with other dogs without causing problems. He started working on her manners with pack walks and now is able to give her time with other dogs in a more relaxed, but structured setting. There's no one I trust more than Jeremy Burger to help our girl with her socialization skills.”
JUNE OLKOWSKI
“Ernie”
“Jeremy is excellent with our needy German Shepard… Jeremy provides hands on training, discipline and gentle kindness to our energetic dog!”
ERIC WARNER
“Lando”
“Jeremy provides a safe place for our dog to learn and socialize, we couldn't be happier. We had a bad experience at another daycare but here Jeremy is able to give the dogs the support they need, we highly recommend!”
MARTHA FARAH
“Kodiak”
“Jeremy has worked with my dog and me on behavioral issues over the years. He is a wizard!
Now that he has opened the Philly Canine Social Club, I'm sending my dog Kody there. I know he'll have fun, be stimulated, be safe and maintain his good habits.”
GARY KOPCHINSKI
“Lando”
“The Philly Canine Social Club and Jeremy are amazing! The first day I was incredibly nervous about dropping my dog, Lando, off. After a previous issue with another daycare, I was expecting to get a call after a few hours to pick Lando up but that never happened. He did great because of the safe environment Jeremy creates. The space is perfect for Lando to interact with other dogs and make friends. He loves going so much he begs to go back when we walk passed. Jeremy provides a fantastic experience for my dog. The cozy space creates a personalized and safe environment. Jeremy's dedication is evident, and Lando always comes back happy and well-loved. I highly recommend this daycare for its personalized touch and exceptional service!”
RYAN THORNBURG
“Friday”
“I have had Jeremy working with our dogs for over a decade and there's no person I trust more with them. I was thrilled for this place to open so our newest girl can finally get some socialization and structure during the day (and the added perk of coming home tired). Highly recommend Jeremy and the Philly Canine Social Club.”
JACKIE KELLEHER
”Pippi”
“Philly Canine Social Club is better than I could have imagined! I would say that Jeremy has magical powers, but it would disregard his many years of experience in dog training and overall temperament. He seemingly effortlessly creates an environment in which all the attendees thrive. My Pippi is a rescue and still learning to dog; we call this her “school”. There are plenty of dogs who are just fine and attend as daycare of just for fun. We’ve never had or seen any incidents. Every time I’m there, things are under control and all of the dogs have happy, wagging tails. Bonus: when we get home, she’s tired! Highest possible recommendation!”
PHIL YOON
“Monte”
“Jeremy has been involved with Monte pretty much from the moment Monte rumbled into my life. Those who also have known Monte from that beginning know that he has transformed from a parkwrecker and dogwalk-nightmare to a lovable social butterfly. Now that PCSC has opened, Monte always comes back from PCSC tired but so happy, and Jeremy consistently gives me feedback on how Monte enjoyed the day. There's no greater comfort than knowing Monte's in perfect hands, with great friends, at PCSC when I'm at work and then seeing his happy face when I pick him up. Does any dog parent need anything more than that?“
MELANIE THORNBURG
”Finn”
“There has been a huge change in our dog Finn since finding Jeremy! Finn now is more comfortable and less fearful and this carries over to walks and new situations that would have made him very anxious in the past. I credit it to Jeremy’s knowledge, compassion and genuine love of dogs to transforming Finn into the happy boy who now enjoys being part of a pack! Highly recommend!”
RACHAEL PIGNOTTI
“Lupo”
“Can't recommend Philly Canine & the owner Jeremy highly enough! 5 months ago, I started taking my Belgian Mal, Lupo, to daycare at Jeremy's to improve his socialization & work on his anxiety with dogs. In five months, Lupo's now at ease with dogs & has learned to communicate first before getting aggressive. We're slowly reintroducing dog parks back into our routine, which was a huge NO before. Lupo's playing with dogs successfully outside on daycare as well. Have to give all the credit to Jeremy! He's very patient, yet stern. He really teaches all the dogs how to behave properly!“
