Dog Training In Michigan
Are you looking for dog training? Do you want a better relationship with your dog? Did you just get a new puppy or rescue dog from the shelter, and you want to enroll them in training classes?
Meet Lark & Hazel. These gorgeous girls came to us after going through another local trainer’s program. This trainer is very e-collar heavy, and has been known to place ecollars on puppies! This method created negative associations to people in Lark & Hazel’s minds, and to certain environments (such as those including other dogs). In fact, when Lark & Hazel first came to us, they were afraid of people and other dogs, and ran off one time when they were buzzed with the ecollar. They also chased squirrels, and bayed at them when they went up a tree!
Since their stay with us, we’ve been able to get them over their fear of other dogs, and eliminated their separation anxiety. They now leave squirrels alone, and their parents can take them biking on the trails without an ecollar!
Hello, I’m Matthew Lamarand
I’ve spent the past 10 years learning a lot about canine psychology and dog training during my time as a military canine handler, and I’m still learning from each and every dog and owner that I work with.
Whether you want your dog to sniff out IEDs, or come when called, I’ve learned that all behaviors start with the same thing: engagement and building a bond with your dog. If your dog is focused on you, they’ll do what you ask them to.
Here are a few issues that we’ve helped owners to solve:
- Come reliably when called
- Sit to greet guests at the door
- Walk on a loose leash
- Be calm when handled
- Take food nicely from your hand
- Sit and lie down from a distance
- Be calm when playing with children
- Follow commands when playing

Mr. Bentley is a champ 💪
Despite having such anxiety his mom has to pick and drop him off every day, and drooling constantly during the day 😢
He is getting better and better! I love this picture of him and Matt 😎 and think it is a good representation of how much you can grow if you are willing (and patient) to deal with being a little uncomfortable.
Way to go Bentley! 😁

Who is the prettiest girly of all, this girl! Miss Willow is entering her second week here with us in her boarding school program.
She sure is pretty, but don't let those little gremlin's eyes fool you 😂
💙💙💙💙

How do you introduce, or reintroduce the crate if your pup is scared of it?

We hope every single one of you had a merry Christmas and was able to spend time (even if over skype) with loved ones.
We had a beautifully white Christmas complete with a hike in the snow with this silly puppy, Mikkel.
We know our past and present students had something to think about all this white stuff yesterday too! 😉 😂
Please feel free to put in a photo so I don't have to creep through all your news feeds 🤣

[Sappy Post Alert]
Oh my goodness! I wanted to make a post thanking all of our clients.
Truly the BEST part of what we do is getting the opportunity to meet some amazing, loving, and supportive doggy parents. It not only effects us on the business side of things, it touches us personally as well.
Any day we feel unmotivated, or unappreciated, or that we are working our booties off and just can't please... for every day like that, there are more than 10 times that for the amazing and motivating and humbling days.
And you guys are to thank!
You are all amazing, and we are so blessed to have met you and to be trusted daily with your furry pride and joy!
YOU guys are exactly what makes business ownership worth everything that has ever been put into it, and I never thought going into Dogology University that we would get this much support and love from it.
No gift are every necessary or expected, but thank you to everybody who thought of us this holiday season, and we absolutely love the doggy family cards too 🥰

What our customers say
They are amazing people who know how to effectively train your dog to be a better part of the family. They also do a fantastic job at training the family how to control their dog and make the home environment more pleasant.
“I’ve had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dogology University and trainer Matthew Lamarand working with my two puppies. On our first training day my dog was pulling at the leash and nearly yanking my arm out of its socket on walks. Less than two months later, we just went for a walk around the block off leash and my dog stuck right with us the whole time! I’m thrilled to throw my support behind Dogology University…my experience with Matthew has been nothing but positive.”
