Dogology

Went for the training package,went to 3 and never went for fourth.At 250/ hrs you can get a real trainer and accomplish something.

Dogology is amazing. We have had two sessions in our home with Mike, and he has helped significantly with our rescue dog, Leia. The first time Mike came, Leia refused to go outside with my fiancé. She refused to go potty with anyone besides me. She was terrified of everything. She growled at things she didn't understand and had some really obnoxious habits.

Before he left that first day, we had her going outside with my fiancé. He explained the concept of how to hold the leash to us. He helped us understand how some of the things we thought we were doing to correct her behavior was actually probably reenforcing it. Since he was here that first time, she's come out of her shell so much more than she had before. She's acting more like a dog and I know we have Mike to thank for that. Although seemingly expensive, it's worth every penny.

This week he showed us how to do down/stay and helped us understand how to help her with getting in the car and being comfortable. All around, we're so grateful to have him on this journey with us.

I can't say enough great things about Dogology. The store is great- so many healthy options for food, treats and chews!

We have taken our puppy, Molly, there for Puppy Academy during the week, playgroup on Sunday and taken her to training classes with Ben.

You can tell that everyone there has a passion for what they do, and that they treat our dogs as if they were their own, which always made me feel comfortable dropping Molly off there for the day during Puppy Academy. I know that she loved being there each and every second of the day. There truly is no place that compares to Dogology! My only wish that they would offer an older dog daycare so Molly could be a Dogology dog FUREVER!

Was not impressed. I get this is in a somewhat nicer area of CT but 3 stars at best. As soon as I walked in two of the old women in the store did not even greet me. One nearly ran me over in the small hallway. The treats are over priced and they do not seem to know what they're talking about at all either.

I was looking for dog bowls for my dog and the woman working (who I took to be either the owner or manager) seemed truly annoyed that I would come into her shop looking for such things as "it is not the focus of this store." I won't go back!

Every person here is friendly and knowledgeable. The treats are all top quality and my dogs love them !! The puppy daycare is awesome and my only wish is that they would have adult dog daycare. I know when my GSD was a puppy he loved it and the staff b/c when I would pull in to Dogology he would want to run into the building !!

Awesome for training!

We took our puppy to a beginner's class elsewhere and while we were happy with the class, we felt that something was missing. At the first class we took, our pup did learn to basics, "sit", "stay", recall, etc, and he could do all those things well. However, we felt he was more doing these behaviors for the treats and not because he was necessarily a well behaved dog. He was more "well-trained" versus "well-behaved".

A couple months after our first class I found out about Dogology and the description of the class seemed exactly what we were looking for...and we were not disappointed.

Ben is amazing!

Our first class I totally got called out for bad owner behavior, but I'm glad I did! We have a high-energy lab cross who loves people and other dogs and always wants to be playing or involved in what's going on around him. During the first class we were sitting and listening to Ben talk and Cody (our pup) was whining constantly and pulling to be towards the other dogs. Embarrassing and a distraction to the other people trying to hear. In my mind, I thought, "scratch him and pet him to distract him and maybe he'll quiet down". But as was explained by Ben, I was only rewarding the anxious, whining behavior he was doing. He told me how to correct it and how to get him calm and, I'm not exaggerating, within minutes, Cody was laying on the ground, calm...no more whining! This was about 15 minutes into our first class so I was already impressed.

The rest of the classes were just as great and we learned so much. What I really liked about Ben's class is he really goes into detail about the WHYs of the dogs' behavior and makes you think like the dog to understand why they're acting the way they're acting and what you can do to fix it. He emphasizes a lot about the dogs being calm prior to getting what they want so that they associate calmness with good things and we are really seeing great results with Cody. The class is over now but we're using Ben's tools & techniques at home to shape Cody into the dog we want him to be.

I would definitely recommend these classes to anybody!

Caring, caring and caring is what Dogology is all about. From the one on one nutritional consults, behavioral and training help to their pet food pantry. As a pet parent and rescuer to handicapped furry family members Dogology rocks in the pet world. They are always excited to help with our families nutrional needs and sincerly care about you and your pets.
This is not a very large store like a chain or megamart. It is comfy, personal and inviting for both pets and pet parents. Thankfully a local business that cares about it's furry residents as well as their care givers. The staff and owners combined knowledge is a virtual gold mine for pet owners in the Canton, CT area.
Stop in and say hello they'd love to meet your furry family.

This is truly the place for people who love their dogs. From award-winning training to competitively-priced, top-shelf food, pet-healthy toys, cleaning products, fresh-baked treats and every accessory a dog lover could ever need, Dogology has it all!

Why give Petco your hard-earned pet dollars when you could support a great local business that really CARES about you and your dog? Dogology is a labor of love, and it really shows.

Sure, it's kind of a yuppie store in kind of a yuppie plaza in kind of a yuppie area, but if you have the extra money to spend on your dog, this is the place to do it. I've never been to a pet store with people that are so engaging, interesting, helpful and knowledgeable as I have here.

Go! Now!

This place is great! Took my pup here for training classes and for puppy playtime on Sunday's and playcare on Tuesday and Thursday. Staff is friendly, professional and considerate of pup and their peeps! A great experience for my little girl and she loved, loved, loved seeing her puppy pals and her human pals as well! Always get honest and good advice because they really care about what's best for our fur baby's! We start older puppy class soon and looking forward to it. Highly recommended! A great learning experience for both me and my puppy:D
