I would like to share my incredible experience of Rhodes Collar. We moved to Connecticut from…read moreArizona in January of 2025 with our poodle puppy Curtis less than 1 year old at the time. Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Scott's Kennels…read more They cared for my senior dog, Moxie, for nearly a week while I was over 3,000 miles away for work--and to say I was nervous would be an understatement. Moxie has special needs (a form of epilepsy) and very little experience staying in a kennel, so I was deeply concerned not only for her health, but also for how she would handle the stress of a new environment. I checked in twice while I was away, just to make sure everything was okay. Each time, the staff reassured me with such genuine warmth and kindness. It was immediately clear how much they cared about her--they spoke about Moxie like she was their own. I was so touched to learn that they were taking her out for extra one-on-one time and giving her special attention beyond the standard routine. When I picked her up, I was honestly amazed. She was happy, playful, and--somehow--even healthier than when I dropped her off. I had prepared special meals and treats for her, and they followed everything carefully and thoughtfully. (They also offer the option to use their food, which is great for flexibility.) The facility itself is incredibly clean, and the staff are not only professional but truly compassionate animal lovers. It's clear they spent a tremendous amount of time monitoring her, caring for her needs, and making sure she was comfortable and safe. It's now been over 24 hours since I brought her home, and I genuinely feel like she is an even happier, healthier dog after her stay--which is something I never expected. I had worried I might come home to a stressed dog who refused to eat or had experienced a seizure. Instead, I found the exact opposite. I highly, highly recommend Scott's Kennels. They gave me complete peace of mind, and I now know that if I ever need to travel again, Moxie will be in the best possible hands.

Took my pup to Stonington location for puppy daycare as well as taking their puppy training…read moreclasses in Lyme on the weekend from age 3 mo to 6 mo and worked with him at home with what we were taught in class. The staff was always great and kind and I always received an overall good report about him with some concerns about reactive barking but it was always chalked up by the trainer and the staff as primarily being "a Shepherd thing". (He is a German shepherd puppy) My issue is with the owner Marge. She is quite possibly the rudest, most condescending business owner I have ever run into. I was nearing the end of his puppy daycare program and looking forward to getting him into the adult program but was approached by Marge about his horrible reactive barking and that he could absolutely not come to the adult program until this was corrected. This reactive barking was never even an issue until he started coming to daycare. They are kept behind a fence, directly behind the front door and so every time a person enters with their dog he barks and jumps. It is hard to address this behavior when he is doing it at daycare and not at home since it's a completely different environment, which leads me to the main question of, what is being done at daycare to correct the behavior?! I asked what do we do, reach out to a behaviorist? We're already doing training classes and he actually is doing really good in class even thought a couple dogs actually lunge at him in class which the trainer is aware of. The trainer actually praised us for his progress at the last couple classes. There seems to be a large disconnect between this owner and the staff and it's quite appalling and concerning but after spending so much time and money with their daycare and training and then being told quite literally he can't come anymore is just plain wrong. I also don't appreciate being called out by the owner with snide remarks like "you need to train him at home as well", and "I already spoke with the trainer and she has expressed to you her concerns" it's like I was being set up and called a liar. What did I do to deserve this?! First of all I have the trainers direct number and she thought not allowing him to continue was unusually harsh and did not speak to Marge when Marge said she did. I will save a long rant and just end with stay away from this place. They are expensive and I'm finding that quite a few other local daycares have better, more flexible programs and are actually averaging $10 cheaper a day and have better packages as well and a much better overall day-day program. The owner Marge could actually take some notes from her own staff about how to talk and treat a customer. She will, I'm sure, deny any of this and seem apologetic and that she cares about my dogs progress and that she never said these things. Very much it feels she is prejudiced against certain breeds (mine being one of them) and that I'm being forced out even though he is a great dog and plays great with the others. There are plenty of pictures on their Facebook page to prove this fact.
