This facility is top notch, and the people running are compassionate, lovely people. My dog Ace loves going, he comes home tired and happy. Great advice on helping my dog grow into a great pet. I can’t recommend My Dog’s Place enough.

My grandmother enrolled her puppy in their training program on February 24th, 2023. My Ant, went with her to help with the training. The fee for day care and training was over $300.00 (non refundable)Our families new puppy began daycare on 2/27/23. On 3/2/23 (Thursday night) from 6-7pm was her second training night, the trainer who worked with our group was Jennifer, we were seated with nine other puppies in a large circle. During this session my grandmother was humiliated and embarrassed more so than she has ever been before in her entire life!! She is 84 years old and the trainer Jennifer repeatedly reminded the group that she was a trainer for over 12 years and asked my grandmother MULTIPLE TIMES as to why she decided to get a puppy. She had explained that my grandfather (her husband) of 45 years had just passed away and needed a companion in the home to spend her time with. After my grandmother emotionally explained that to everyone Jennifer INSISTED on continually asking her this same question throughout the session. Jennifer was extremely rude, had absolutely NO COMPASSION, and on purpose tried to humiliate my grandmother.Our puppy contracted kennel cough, and two different types of infections and had to go on antibiotics and had multiple blood works tests performed to get a final diagnosis, which we were told by an employee that our puppy wasn’t the only one who had gotten sick out of that group.Needles to say we will never return or recommend this facility or their trainer Jennifer.Very unprofessional.Angela, Karen, Elly(Excuse the user name my daughter made it for me.)

I've been bringing my dogs here for training for the past 18 months, and the care and attention to detail in developing a Positive Reinforcement training curriculum for dogs of all levels is apparent. There are always classes going on, from Puppy Primer which is an amazing introductory class for new puppies and really sets up your dogs for success in the future, to the three-tiered Companion Dog classes, designed to build on already established skills and add new skills which will grow the relationship you have with your dog. Having two locations, on each side of the Thames means you'll be able to find a class thats a convenient distance from you. All dog owners are going to benefit from working with the incredible staff at My Dogs Place.

Review for My Dog's Place in East Lyme. I enrolled my puppy in doogie daycare and puppy Kindergartenon Feb.24th 2023. My daughter came with me to help with the puppy. The fee for doggie daycare and training was $302.03 non-refundable. My puppy went to doggie daycare on Feb.27th and March 1st. On March 2nd a Thursday night from 6 to 7pm was trainin. Thr trainer was Jennifer. We we're seated with our puppies in a large circle. Their was 10 people in attendance. I was never never so embarrassed in my life at 84 years old by the trainer. She continued to tell us that she has been a trainer for 12 years many many times. She asked me why did I get a puppy two times. I told her my Husband had passed away after 45 years of being married. I thought it would help me at this most difficult time. She then asked me two more times why did I get a baby. In dealing with this trainer she was rude had no compassion or consideration. Paying $302.03 is an expensive price to pay for that kind of treatment and service. Was not satisfied or impressed. Very unprofessional. Elly Thompson.

We brought our young rescue dog to My Dog's Place for a 7 week Basic Obedience course this fall and it was an amazing experience! Marge was so patient with our wild child and we saw so much progress from week to week! She also made herself available before class and any time through email to answer questions about other behavioral issues not being addressed in the basic class. We will definitely be back for advanced classes in the future!

Most un empathetic establishment I’ve ever done business with . I work 3 jobs and send my puppy to their daycare for the last 5 weeks 3 days a week , as I’m single and live alone and just moved to the area a week before I got him . He’s a good puppy , but he’s that a puppy and is still learning. I had a death in the family recently , but because my puppy plays too rough ( not harmful ) but rough and I haven’t taken their “ mandatory “ class yet he was kicked out … I asked them for a day that works with my schedule was told it wasn’t till may 15th and he wasn’t allowed back before then . Great way to have empathy for someone and what’s been going on and instead of helping me out with other suggestions of how to help him behave better he gets kicked out . Horrible way of doing business . I’ll be sure to have him trained elsewhere . Thanks for all your help.update: Anyone seeing this should check out the BARK app for training and boarding ive spoken with 2 providers on there already that offer 2 week boarding and training , also stated the exact opposite to they have said this whole time at the daycare telling me he was aggressive , when he is very calm and so loving to everyone he meets at home and other dogs he interacts with on a daily basis with me. Glad I found somewhere else in just a day that treats their customers with respect and suggests things to help instead of demanding what they want without any help or compassion.

We have been going here for almost a year now and love it! Both the training and the daycare program has been great.

My Dog’s Place is NO place for your dog!! Stay far far away from this business! The owner, Marge is a liar. Back in our initial interview with her, I explained that our yellow lab has never been in a crate. She assured me that he would never be put into a crate unless it was an emergency situation. Flash forward to today, when I arrive to see my dog in a crate. Their explanation was that he was barking too much. That is completely unacceptable! If you are bothered by dogs barking, I am not sure why you are running this business.Furthermore, a month back, when I picked him up from school, his face was cut up and bloody. When I asked what happened, they stated that our 4 year old yellow lab was being aggressive. In four years, our dog has never attacked or been physical with anyone or animal. It was troublesome that not only did they fail to apologize but went so far as to blame my dog for his injuries. I can only assume this is because they do not want to be responsible for vet bills for his injuries.Do NOT take your dogs here!! Over the course of two years, my dog’s place has proved itself to be highly unprofessional and dishonest. You should not have to worry about a company lying to you and then blaming you for their own negligence. STAY FAR FAR AWAY!

They have a clearly defined method of dog training that is based on positive reinforcement. They make a dog use its brain to get a treat. The facility is good, with obstacle courses. Puppy Kindergarten includes some free play time between training exercises.

I can not say enough great things about this place! We got our sweet Ace unexpectedly when he was left in a neighbors yard, we weren't looking to adopt and had very little experience with dogs (we have 3 cats and a turtle lol). When his holding time was up at animal control we were scrambling to find a daycare for him to go to during the week while we worked. Our landlords actually mentioned MDP to us and then when we mentioned it to our vet they also recommended we check it out. We met the owner Marge at a puppy social and she approved Ace for daycare and ghave us a ton of first time dog parent tips. He absolutely LOVES going and seeing his human and pup friends! Since his first day, he has taken 2 obedience classes with the General Manager Jenn, she is very patient and knowledgeable. The entire staff are wonderful and kind. We just LOVE what My Dogs Place has done for Ace!

Great training classes. Staff knows what they are doing, very patient and understanding with all types of dogs and the humans that tag along with them. Jen is the best! Parking can be tricky on nice warm days with DQ nextdoor.

My dog is a 15 yo very sweet little boy who doesn't do well on a leash... And has never been in a crate. I was lectured for at least 10 minutes at the front desk how that makes me an idiot. I kept saying "than perhaps this won't work for Jack" to which she responded "did I say that?, I didn't say that" except she really did. Over and over again. I finally walked out holding Jack while she kept telling my back how he needs the be on a leash and be crated. Bye-bye!

Our dog loves coming to class and playgroup! The niantic location is smaller than mystic, but it's a more laid back experience!
