We are thrilled with the services provided & positive staff interaction with our little boy. Without doubt we are extremely happy with all that is provided at Canine College! Our boy comes home tuckered out from a great day at school! ❤️

We love Canine College. Our dog has been going there for 4 years now! He's always so excited to go. Everybody is amazing. We know that when our dog is there he is safe and treated well. From day care, to boarding, to training I give everything 5 stars. I don't think we can ever move because we could never take our dog anywhere else.

I’m that person that probably once or twice left a review, but this establishment deserves it! Rocco, my one and a half year old Aussie and golden retriever mix is my entire world! To know I’ve found a place where my husband and I can actually enjoy a vacation knowing Rocco is so well taken care of is huge! I’ve taken him to a few different places and wish I would have found Cannine College from day one because they are worth every single cent! The staff, from the front desk to each person taking care of our babies are phenomenal! This is Rocco’s second stay there and the first time I was impressed immediately with their quick responses, given I was probably so annoying texted a million times🤦‍♀️He can be picky about his food especially away from home, they reached out to me and let me know from the first meal, they added him some grilled chicken and he was happy! Unlike other places which 8/10 times when I would look at the live stream it was “nap time” here o just see my Rocco having the time of his life! They play from morning to night!!! They have plenty of staff watching at all times, and I guarantee you, your dog often will get a snuggle from one of them! The first time there I asked if I can sing him up for private play, as I like to sign him up for everything possible that’s extra and they said because they keep them so active they don’t, well let me reassure you they stay active and deffff not needed feature! Also the amount of space they offer, indoor and outdoor and the way they maintain it it’s amazing! You don’t see just overwhelming wet and slippery floors! This might sound like a paid advertising review, by any means it’s not LOL, they are just this great! So if you are that dog mom like myself that treats her dog like her own baby, I promise you will not be disappointed! Thank you Cannine College and staff for all the care and love Rocco receives 🙌

Jake and Pajamas had a great first visit to Canine College! Everyone is very kind, honest, and knowledgeable and help you feel loved and welcome the second you walk through the door. I was able to watch their temperament assessment in real time via their O-Doggy cams, and my boys got a “school photo” and a report card when I picked them up. Their transparency—specifically the option to view their assessment—made me feel at ease. My boys are in safe and capable hands when they’re at Canine College. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

brought our puppy for the first time for an evaluation. It was an excellent experience, and we are planning to sign up for a training program. The staff is extremely nice and professional and we found the facility and the activities very well organized!

My dog Walter has stayed with Canine College a couple times. As most pet parents are, I was nervous about leaving him as he's pretty co-dependent. He is also very excitable around other dogs. His report card gave him an A+ on his recent 10 night stay. I was also able to watch him on the camera while I was away, and I could see that he was having an absolute blast! The staff are really great, the sleeping arrangements (dorms) are adorable, and the pick-up window being open until 3-6pm was a lifesaver when we returned from our trip. We will definitely be back :)

We’ve boarded our 2 boys here a number of times and they seem to always enjoy the time. The booking is very thorough and I feel confident leaving my dogs there. This last time I had my floofer groomed and he looks (and smells) amazing! My short hair guy got a bath as well and he also looks great. Happy to entrust our boys to Canine College!

Awesome Groomer! My dog was ready on time and looked amazing! Recommended a really good brush for me to use! I will be back and on a schedule. They treat your pet like family.

This place is so good our dog quickly forgets we exist when we pull into the parking lot. He loves every stay and we watch him on the cameras having the time of his life. It makes us feel good that he can have his own fun vacation while we are on our own. The staff are super friendly and helpful and truly care about the animals. I wouldn't let Charlie stay anywhere else.

We recently found Canine College as we just adopted a 6 month old mini Aussiedoodle.We were very impressed with Canine College after calling them to see what their process and philosophies were.They are truly a full service Doggy Daycare, Boarding, Grooming and Training business.We visited them before we picked up our puppy and their entire staff from front desk to all the caretakers in the kennel runs to the groomers and trainers were wonderful, and this was before we even had our puppy!Since we brought him home, he’s been twice, once for doggy daycare and again for grooming. He loved it both times and they were awesome as they provided a report card of how he did, things to look for, friends he made, any concerns we might need to watch out for and more. They also have webcams that allow you to check in on your pooch while away, which is awesome!For doggy daycare, we loved that they did a temperament test first by slowly introducing dogs one at a time into a special kennel run to see how he’d react and they would react. After they felt comfortable and he felt comfortable, he was introduced to a section of dogs that are of similar size and temperament, which was great to see! They have four different runs to fit different personality types, really clever!As to the grooming, it was easy to set up, they did a great job with him and he loved his new do!We can’t wait to get him started with his training which is also awesome as they offer packages where you can do a daycare/1-on-1 training session so it’s best of both worlds!We are very excited to have found Canine College and can’t wait for our pup to make more friends, both canine and human!

Took my daughter's dachshund Scrappy to the admissions office here for a potential enrollment as a daily commuter student. The admissions staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he did well on his interview! Love that they have live video feeds of all the play areas (I call it ScrappyVision!) and the students are supervised at all times. Looks like our little boy is college material after all!

My pooch comes here for daycare and boarding and I have always had a positive experience with them and he always is well taken care of. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a safe place to send your dog. HD Webcam is awesome for seeing what’s up with your dog, and it is fun to watch the other dogs too. Multiple camera angles so you can always find your pet! They have a good size area for the dogs to run around in and outside space available for the dogs at all times.

The staff at Canine College is incredibly friendly! They get to know you and your pup and are super willing to answer any questions you have. I love how I am able to look at the cameras in the daycare to see if my dog is having fun! Overall, amazing place.

I went on a three day trip out of town and left my dog at Canine College. When I returned, it was late and I had to pick him up from Latchkey at about 7pm. Even though it was evening, I was struck by how noisy it was. There were still many dogs barking. When I brought my dog home, he was exhausted. I think Canine College is very professional, but they board a lot of dogs and it was apparent that it is always going to be pretty noisy there regardless of the hour. So, my dog loves going there, but not to sleep.

We love Canine College! Friendly staff, clean and well run. We feel at ease with our dog Max being there, whether it's for daycare or boarding.

I will admit.. my dog is a HANDFUL. He’s a very loud and hyper fireball who is VERY wary of strangers when he first meets them. However, the staff at Canine College handle him beautifully and he’s never been shy to walk in those doors! Also, as an over protective dog mom, I love that I can check in on my pup through the cameras during the day. One time during daycare, my dog’s nail split and they called to let me know and even brought him to the groomer-in-house to get the hang nail off and apply a liquid bandage to stop the bleeding. (He was also separated in a kennel by himself for a bit while his nail healed before being put back in the group) I was very impressed with the quick resolution and professionalism. There are daycares much closer to me but I choose to drive nearly 40 min away to come to Canine College because I really trust the staff.

I have had my senior rescue dog groomed twice now at Canine College. The staff is super friendly there. Julie does a great job with my dog and he always looks great after!

My dog really enjoys the daycare! We left him this past weekend for overnight and watched him enjoy playng with the other dogs on the CAM. He came home happy and very tired! We love this place but would not recommend the groomer. Something bad happened and our dog was traumatized. We have since taken him to other groomer and she could not have been nicer. He got a beautiful cut and did not have issues. 5 stars accept for groomer. Groomer gets negative star.

We will definitely use Canine College to care for Jack. They were thorough, caring and I loved the evaluation rubric.Also, they explained in depth how they place the dogs in certain groups. ❤️

Only the best canine daycare and boarding for any and every dog in the Metro Detroit area! My puppy gets super excited whenever I mention 'school' (we taught her) and is always ready to go!!

Canine College is THE BEST! Our pup has been going there since he was six months old. Canine College trained him, groomed him, and boarded him for daycare. The staff are attentive and I love how excited they get to see our dog when I drop him off. We love you Canine College!

Love Canine College! I love being able to watch my boys play - the ability to watch them on the webcam during playtime gives me so much comfort.The staff are always accommodating to my requests and are so kind to my boys. They always come home happy and exhausted.The prices are reasonable, and certainly in line with other daycare/boarding facilities in the area. To be honest, even if the prices were much more expensive than other places, I’d still come here because I know my boys are being taken care of.

We have two Siberian Huskies that absolutely LOVE Canine College! They go there when we are vacationing and on rainy days so they aren’t trapped in the house, bored! They actually come back trained and better behaved after a day at Canine College. They treat my dogs so special. I truly think the trainers love these dogs. Best doggy day care around. They have the best reputation. They have several levels, depending on your dog. Ours go to Varsity. They’ve become very socialized and love other dogs. They have so many friends! And the trainers are always interacting with the dogs and giving treats. The place is immaculate, staff is as nice as can be. I highly recommend Canine College!

I'm happy to pay so that my dog can play in a safe and monitored environment all day instead of waiting for me to get home from work. Canine College's training program and daycare have been very nice for my dog and I both.

I can't say enough about Canine College. I've been taking my dog here for almost 6 years. He's attended puppy training, day-care and has been boarded many times. He's also been groomed on occasion. The staff treats my dog like he is their own, they give him lots of love and he absolutely loves going to this great place. I highly recommend it.

We were VERY impressed with the attention given to our nervous dog yesterday who came for the first time yesterday! Overall, it was a very positive experience and we will be boarding him overnight, (knowing he is in good hands) while we vacation next month.

Amazing grooming department! Worth the wait - no wonder the groomer is booked out! Excellent staff while my dog boards and does day care! Glad I found this place!

First time taking Hobbes to the "college." He and I loved it. The staff is very friendly and explain the entire process. I got to watch him as he got acclimated to the other dogs. Then once he settled in, he was wagging his tail interacting with the staff and other dogs.

My fur baby loves going to visit his friends at Canine College. He gets so excited when we pull in and he practically runs all the way to the door. The staff are very nice, they always answer any questions after our visits and I find comfort in being able to see him play and know he's in great care.
