Edit: 6/28/12 Well,…read morethe initial good impression has finally worn off. We have taken our puppy to stay at the Doghouse multiple times now, and every experience gets a little weirder. After her first long stay there, puppy came back to us HUNGRY. This was strange, we had given instructions to let her have extra food if she seemed hungry (we even wrote this on her food tub) since we knew she would be very active running and playing with other dogs and might need more calories. Next stay, she came back to us with her crate full of food. Might explain why she was starving after her first stay, for some reason they crated her to feed her (the crate was provided for her to sleep in at night). Now the final straw, we keep receiving bills and past due notices from them for bills that have already been paid. We always pay our bills on time, and we're getting tired of running back through old credit card statements every time we hear from them. The facility is beautiful, the people who work there seem nice and competent, but our experiences with them are proving otherwise. ***************************** This place is just fantastic! Absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean facility, wonderful and extremely competent employees. Dogs that come here are expected to be social and have good manners. If you are looking for a place to take your dog for doggie daycare or overnight boarding and you can't stomach the thought of leaving him or her in the care of the underpaid and untrained employees typical at most boarding facilities, you have to check this place out. Our beloved pup is going to be a regular here.

I qualify this review. The Doghouse is a beautiful facility and it is perfect for some dogs. But…read moredon't bring your dog here thinking its going to be like the other day camps around Ann Arbor. The focus here is training, discipline, and "earning" increasingly independent "stages" of play. From the first day, I brought my large dog here hoping he would get to run and play to wear out his energy and I let them know we are not interested in graduating to any higher levels, but we would like to board him sometimes. He has not had problems at other day camps, but here, we were constantly getting negative feedback - he's jumping on other dogs or pinning them down, he gets hyped up, he doesn't listen to rules, he barks. That is true. I am not arguing that. But this was later accompanied by requirements to do training, group and individual, in order for him to be able to return -- something from day one I had indicated I was not going to do and did not want - I do not want a stepford wives dog, and I totally understand he's not the right fit for this daycare -- in short, if your dog is not going to thrive in a Montessori school environment this is not for them. The other sole reason I brought my dog here was to check out their boarding facilities when I begin to travel for work again -- again, a no go, because he did not "graduate" to a level that he can board. I've never heard of that in my life -- even the most difficult dogs are boardable at other sites without a single day of "training". I know this has gotten long, but I think its important to know that despite the absolutely beautiful facility, this is not going to be the right place for many dogs. If your dog matches what they are looking for, both you and your dog will absolutely love it. But if your dog just likes to run and play and jump and bark at other dogs then this is not going to be a good match. I would have preferred that he be removed into a solo area and allowed to run around by himself rather than bringing him back to his crate when he got too rowdy. I love the people here, but we're not going back.

Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our one-year-old Dutch Shepherd. From their first meeting Ryan made our pup feel welcome, cared for, and safe. This was especially important to me, as I was transitioning between taking care of our dog full-time to working outside our home. It was anxiety-inducing for me and our dog, to say the least. Well, at least it was for me because I didn't have someone like Ryan to ease my transition.... Thanks to Ryan, we came home each night to a happy, well-exercised, healthy dog. He loved Ryan's sweet dog, Quigley, and even perked up his ears when I asked him if he saw his buddies that day. They had some great adventures on the Iron Horse Trail together. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality care for your dog with personable service that you can count on day-in and day-out, contact Ryan. Your dog will be in the best hands. Des will miss Ryan now that we've moved away. But we'll always be so thankful for him. Thank you, Ryan!

Thanks Yelp for helping us find Abbie!…read more As new PAWrents, our good boi was picking up commands, potty training really well but we wanted some help with leash walking (as Benny boy loves to pull) AND we knew we were bringing home another pup so we wanted Abbie to meet Benny first to help us if there were any behavioral changes. With Abbie's help, we made small changes to have a more consistent training vocabulary between my husband and me. She also gave us great tips & tricks. I also LOVE that she has a Facebook group for all her clients - we've had a couple of puppy play dates already! Her rates are reasonable and transparently disclosed on her website! So beyond training, she also has field trips (training WITH her in environments with distractions) as well as adventures (where she takes your pup(s) out!) We had Abbie come by to take Benny on an adventure so that we could have some 1:1 training time with Jette. She took ADORABLE pictures of Benny on his adventure.
