We always take our Shiba here when we go on vacation because of how great they are. He's very temperamental and getting on in years and they're so good and patient with him. On my most recent trip with a busy morning check-in the owner let our dog hang out in an air conditioned enclosure rather than wait in line on leash. Much appreciated.

If I could give this place negative 100 stars I would. First the place is dirty and the staff is rude and disorganized. My dog was so dehydrated when I picked him up and his genital area was swollen. He was acting like a dog that had endured a lot of trauma. God knows what they did to him in this place. NEVER going there again. This place should be closed down.

I had grooming done, although the staff was friendly my dog smelled good, as far as cut, it was not heard. Her cut was uneven, inside ears were not cut, the chest and stomach area was not groomed, and her paws still had tangles on them. Maybe training and boarding is there strong areas. I paid and tipped before seeing.

I was so nervous to leave my puppy for training, but knew it had to be done as she was starting to become too much for us to handle. The owners and staff were so genuine, answering all of my questions and concerns and explaining the processes very well. My dog experienced an amazing transformation, and is now able to play with other dogs and go for walks which we were unable to before. I continue to come back for boarding and grooming as this is the only place I can trust, and my Maxi is always so happy to go there!

I did a lot of research before selecting a training school. I'm very glad I went with canine college. This was an excellent puppy kindergarten class. The teacher, Robin was very knowledgeable about dogs and did a great job teaching new puppy parents. I highly recommend.

My German Shepherd is currently being boarded there for a few weeks. He went in a aggressive towards people but we just went to visit him the other day and he's like a new dog. Before he had to be muzzled every where we went. Now he's around the owners worker's other customers no muzzle. Jack loves it their they take him out of his pen he gets to be outside with other dogs all around him.

I was most impressed when I handed the leash back to the owner to put him away and Jack sat right down for him. I could not be happier. They're patient friendly and understanding. Bottom line highly recommend by me!

If you want your dogs to be trained in a loving, caring environment, Canine College is the place to be! We needed to train our 2 huskies to be service dogs, and after I called so many facilities I called Canine college, and Robin told me:"We are it" (cause I had said I think you guys are it) What made me made this decision is how thorough they are with all our questions and concerns.

They were able to fit us in right away and we started our 3 weeks residential training. During our 3 week me and my husband was sick and unable to make one of our weekly lessons, they even sent pictures to make us feel better! After 3 week, what a big difference! I have never seen my huskies this behaved. You can tell they are doing this with joy, their tails wags with each command.

With how they interact with the trainers, you can also tell how they are loved and care for. I can't say enough great things about this place, I am forever grateful with what Canine College did for us and our pups. Thank you!

They do great work, outstanding at training dogs and their owners. We have been there with all of our dogs at one point or another over the last 20 years, and they have helped tremendously. They pretty much cover all the ground.puppy and group classes, individual lessons, training for specific jobs, etc. They also do boarding and grooming. This is a long-established family business that is very dedicated and knowledgeable.

Not impressed left my dog last night for 3 week training. Two college student did the paperwork. Look like they had no clue what the dog will be trained on. Do not get a tour did not talk to a trainer. I have no confidence in the way it started. Where do the dog sleep? Nobody can tell. Put them in cages outside but the night they will be indoor. I would like to have a tour an explanation for 2000k?.

Keep on calling to see how he is coming but no luck yet. Will talk to them and will pick him up. Not a good vibe. So many bad reviews.scary Will keep on writing more reviews so far not a single good impression

Beware! From 6/17-6/25/2021, I boarded my 1 year old Golden Retriever for her first time for a week at Canine College and Bow Wow Resort in Holbrook. I have known the owners and have been training my dogs there for 30+ years. I trusted them to take care of my dog while I was away. I payed extra for daily playtime and walks for a total of $480.00. Upon picking her up to come home, my happy beautiful Shelby was lethargic and had trouble walking.

The kennel worker handed her leash to me and said nothing. When my dog turned around, I saw that ALL OF THE FEATHERING ON HER TAIL AND LEGS WAS GONE, right down to her skin! Her feathering was 16 inches long on her tail and hind quarters. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was livid, thinking that they cut her hair off! When I asked the kennel worker who cut my dog's hair, she nonchalantly said, "No one cut her hair, she chewed it off.

Some dogs just have a nervous tick." No one said a word to inform me of this before they brought Shelby out to me. No one addressed the problem. I got no notification that there was an issue. For her to chew that much of her hair off, it had to have taken several days. Where she was supposed to have had playtime and private leash walks every day, this should have been addressed immediately upon first sight of the problem.

They could have easily put a cone on her to prevent the behavior. When she got home, she was lethargic and could barely walk! Looking at her feet, they were red, raw, and oozy. She had fly bites in both ears, and her neck and face were covered with cuts and scabs. When I got her home, I called the vet immediately. After a $400.00 vet bill, she was diagnosed with 4 infected pawpads and neglect, with the treatment of a steroid shot, cleansing pads, and 2 rounds of antibiotics.

As soon as I got her home from Canine College, I called there to speak with the owners about the terrible condition Shelby had come home in. I asked for a return call as soon aspossible. Four days later, I got a return call. The owners knew nothing of what happened to my dog during her stay with them. I did not get a single apology from anyone at Canine College for the mistreatment of my beautiful Golden Retriever.

This whole thing could have been very easily avoided if my dog was checked on and cared for properly. A cone would have avoided further chewing. If I was notified, I would have had someone remove her from the neglect and abuse she endured while in the care of Canine College and Bow Wow Resort.

Honestly wanted to give this location a good review but after an incident and no call back from the owners I am beyond disappointed. My dog was injured during the 2 hour evaluation he had to see if he was a good fit for daycare almost a month ago. Now in the 2 hours he was there to see his interaction with the other dogs you would think they were watching him.

When I went to pick him up his nose was bleeding. I asked how he was injured. They told me that they didn't know but they thought it might have been on the fence. After a couple hours my dogs nose started swelling and the vet suggested I brought him in. She told me she thought it was a puncture from another dogs tooth and he ended up on antibiotics and antihistamines for 7 days.

When I called to inform the owner of what the vet said and tell them how much it costs the girl on the phone told me they would call me back and most likely cover the cost of the vet bill. Almost a month later and several failed attempts to get in touch with the owner I am stuck with this vet bill I had to settle due to their negligence. Someone should have been watching my dog and this whole issue should have been avoided. Not sure why they would have me bring him there for a 2 hour evaluation to just lock him in a kennel with other dogs and not watch him.

Awesome Facility and Excellent Staff. I boarded My five (5) Siberian Huskies at Canine College! Bruce, Lynn and Robin are excellent Dog Trainers They also have, chickens, goats, a cow and a pot belly pig.

My pup went through 2 weeks of residential training and it was the best $ I spent. She's such a good girl!

I used to take my dog here quite a while ago for training. He was a large dog and my husband was afraid of him. I wanted a professional to show my husband how to act around the dog and how to get comfortable with him. The trainer was very aggressive with the poor dog. The worst part was when he, the trainer, tried shoving him bodily into a small cage.

The dog was amazing, did not bite him, only tried to take the leash from his hand with his teeth. The trainer never got him into the cage. I was impressed with how nonviolent my dog was in the end. If someone tried to do to me what the trainer was trying to do to the dog, I would have bitten his hand off, no joke. Doing what he did to another human would have been considered straight up assault.

I don't think the trainers here have any formal training other than just being around dogs and knowing how to bully them. They don't teach, they just intimidate and force. I don't know, it's just not what I was expecting. It made me extremely depressed and my husband even more scared of dogs. I ended up having to give my poor baby away because after seeing the physical fight between the dog and trainer my husband's fear became straight terror. That's all, the end of the story. I think there are better places out there for you and your dog. Good luck.

Have two shepherds i board here i have had so many issues boarding at other places. This is the only place i am willing to leave my dogs and it is reasonably priced and have good arrangements with outside access as well as playtime etc.

The staff at Canine College love dogs and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with them for several business trips. After a while he would get excited when we would pull up the drive way to get dropped off. They also helped me with his behavioral issues and overall made life less stressful and made it so I could enjoy my dog! They also took great care of my cat and gave her such loving attention as well. I will always board my pets here for vacations and business trips going forward.

I used to love this place. I have been taking my Zuchon there for daycare and boarding for over a year and things were going well. Then at the beginning of this year, they started hiring college kids who basically have no training and don't care for your pets. I recently boarded my dog there for a week and when I got back, he was vomiting a couple times a day and was having diarrhea with blood coming out as well.

When I picked up my dog, no one mentioned anything to me about this. They said he was FINE when he was there. Oh really? The dog just committed out of the blue? I took him to the vet immediately and was told it most likely started before that day. If you want your dog be alive don't go there.

We boarded our sweet pittie for five days, while we were on vacation. We called everyday to check up on him, sent a nice care bag with toys, extra food and treats. The day we picked him up, he was limping and could barely walk. According to the care giver the rocks and pebbles irritated his front paws. I washed him as soon as we got home because he was very dirty.

His paws were red and he refused to walk, in order to go outside and relieve himself. He was shaking almost like the experience was traumatic for him. $200.00 later, a sick dog and they were unable to locate his dog bed and blanket for three days. To add insult to injury, we paid them extra to walk our dog everyday. How was he walked, when his paws were in excruciating pain? I called twice to voice my concern and no one has gotten back to me. They will NEVER ever see my dog again or get my business.

If you love your dog and care about him/her, do NOT take her/him to Canine College. The dogs are kept in a small fanced place in a cold room. The space is 1 meter by 1 meter with at least 5 dogs inside sharing it. They are not able to move at all but just turning around. They are not given the chance to get their energy out being closed there for the whole day like prisoners.

The staff is very rude and bad with communicating with the customers. We had no idea how our dog was doing there throughout the day. When we asked few times we never received answer besides "We take them out to pee". When I asked if they spend the day just locked like that, the staff confirmed. I was shocked! Speechless left the "dog day care". Please think about your furry best friend before considering taking it there.

Best place for dog training and obedience. Robin transformed my 10 month old yellow lab into a gentleman. Canine College gives us humans the tools we need to be the best handlers for our pets. Our experience was wonderful.

We've been taking our zuchon here for grooming since he was a few months old. He is now about a year and a half. We trust canine college to groom his half shihtzu half bichon frise locks. The staff are super friendly and always do a great job. We drop off our little guy and when we pick him up, he is happy, clean, handsomely trimmed, and smells nice and fresh too!

I love when they put a bandana on him but it doesn't always happen every time. The land is a sight to see too. We love seeing the goats and donkeys on our way to the office.

Falsely claimed Scooby bit one of them. then it turned into a bruise not a bite and then when the rescue came to pick him up it was claimed to be a bit again and he was so vicious he should be euthanized. But we had a real trainer evaluate him and she found he was very sweet and loved people. He passed his eval with flying colors other than lacking social skills with other dogs.

They also said he could not leave without being muzzled but then were too scared to put one on him. No problem - he was busy finding his friends and greeting and kissing him. But Amanda jerked him so hard on the leash he was gagging and struggling to breathe and Erica shoved him forcefully into the truck. I hear Amanda and Erica call themselves trainers?

They have no business even getting near a dog. No dog should be treated like Scooby was yesterday and I wonder how badly they treated him during his stay. And how many dogs have they lied about and claimed are aggressive and should be euthanized? How many dogs have they have killed?

My dog he is 1 year old pit bull has been there for one week now - behavior training - he has sometimes very selective hearing;( In one week my baby can walk next to me without trying to take his collar off by walking backwards also he will stay for over 30 seconds which he has never done before. He is still a happy boy wagging his tail. His behavior went from a naughty not listening boy to a well behaved young man. Bruce spend one hour with us showing what my baby has learnt and most of the commands are in German. ( I started it that way and Bruce helped him stay that way ) I am curious what else he will learn when I pick him up in one week.

I compare it with boot camp for misbehaved teenagers.so far so good my baby is on the right way to become a good role model for any pit bull. Will write another review after I pick him up. So far I am 100% satisfied :)

We took our Great Dane puppy here for obedience training. It was a 5 week group training program at night and I cannot express how grateful we are. We liked it so much that we continued on from Kindergarten to Elementary 1 and 2. I was amazed at how well he responded to us. He completed tasks like jumping over poles and staying at attention even when we left the room. He clearly respects us now and listens to us which allows for a much better relationship. I highly recommend the group training sessions.

I love Canine College. Both of my dogs have stayed here numerous times. Amanda, who usually works with them, take very good care of them. We also used their training classes which were great. It is a family run business that shows.

This place came highly recommended to me so I decided to try it. I brought my dog to get shaved, washed, nails cut, teeth brushed. They did such an awesome job with Artie. He looked so handsome and smelled really good. Artie even loved it there. Then I boarded him there for two days and they were so good to him. Artie had a blast with the staff and other dogs.

I really like how well canine college accommodates Artie's needs. Even if I call that day. Artie hates leaving this place but i keep telling him that he will be back for his weekly baths. I give this place 5 stars and a thumbs up.

I foster rescued dogs for Last Hope K9 Rescue out of Boston, MA (check out our website! www. LastHopeK9.org). I am fostering a dog aggressive/fearful Cane Corso Mastiff/American Bully mix (85 lbs). Bruce, the owner, gave me some amazing basics to handle him while leash walking him around other dogs, and Amanda helped me fine tune my handling skills while around other dogs - in just two private lessons.

My dog was playing with a few of their resident dogs at the end of the 2nd session - something I would have never imagined possible. EVER. If you are working with a difficult dog, take them here. They help train you to train your dog in a caring and positive way. Plus, they always have farm fresh eggs, chickens, turkeys, hens, ducks and goats for sale. Really cool place with very helpful staff. I highly recommend Canine College for training.

Canine College is absolutely the BEST! My 4year old dog initially attended the 2 week resident training program as a crash course refresher. The improvements made in this 2week period were amazing. In addition the wonderful trainers helped teach me how to be more effective with my dog on a day to day basis. After seeing what a difference this program made i decided to continue her training at Canine College, and now go back every couple weeks. I am beyond impressed with Canine College and the variety of training packages and services they offer. I highly recommend educating your dog and yourself here.
