Boarding school options to solve unwanted issues!
Comprehensive Board & Train Programs
Every canine is unique and sometimes a “one size fits all” approach isn’t the best when it comes to training. Dogology University is one of only a handful of accredited board and train facilities in Michigan. Our hands on approach with both you and your pet will help to reinforce positive behaviors and lead to more successful results. Without the use of e-collars and over two, four, or six weeks, this unique dog bootcamp teaches even the most unruly canine how to behave and empowers you with practical training knowledge to build a more successful partnership with your pet.

Meet Mikel
Mikel came to Dogolgoy with a lot of spunk he was a rescue and didnt even know his name! He was terriorzing his family which had two small children, he would stalk the kids through the house and steal the childrens toys. Forget about taking this little guy on a walk to work off some of that energy he would chase every thing from butterflies to leaves and then start barking when he saw other dogs, his parents started having second thought about bringing this little guy into their home so they called and we were able to guide the family on how to communicate effectively and with intention it was so amazing to see the little ones get in on the training were mikkel actually started responding to the littles commands as well now mikel lives the life of purpose and abundance living on the lake and even able to be calm enough to go down the river on a khiak while she paddles!
Member of society, and will give you the knowledge and confidence to take on the world with your pup!
When you work with us, you don’t just drop your dog off with us for 6 weeks. We work with you every step of the way. Here’s how:
- A report card you can access at any time that shows what we worked on each day with your pup
- One on one lessons on Friday afternoon and Monday morning to review what your pup has learned, and how you can apply it at home.
- Opportunities to take your dog home on the weekends so that you can work on what they’ve learned.

Associates Of Focus
If you have a new puppy, and you want to give them the best foundation possible, this program is for you! Recommended for dogs 4 months and under, this two-week course will teach your new family member basic manners, and will turn you into the best dog parents in town!
They’ll learn commands such as “watch me,” sit, down, and come when called. This sets a foundation of focus on you, and is the start of a healthy dog-human relationship. They will also learn how to recognize their own name, basic manners, and will be introduced to heeling with a lure. We’ll crate train them, teach them proper play manners, and how to take food nicely from your hand.
Bachelors Of Partnership
Bachelors Of Partnership
If Fido is pulling on the leash, and you’d like to make walks more pleasant again, our Bachelor’s program just the ticket. This program is also a great fit if you just got a new rescue dog, or if you’d like to take a more hands-off approach to dog training.
In this four-week program, we’ll set your dog up for success when out in public, and give you the tools to help your dog be a star in the house, and out in public. Your pooch will learn hand signals for come, heel, sit, stay, and down, and an auto sit while heeling. They will also learn manners such as out, leave it, and how to politely greet people.

Masters Of Commitment
Masters Of Commitment
If you’re dealing with dog aggression or separation anxiety, or if you’d like to polish your pup’s off-leash commands, we recommend the Master’s Of Commitment. We’ll make sure that your pup is transformed into a stellar member of society, and give you the skills to build the strongest relationship paws-ible with your pooch!
This six-week program is reserved for more advanced behaviors, including sit, down, place, come, and heel off-leash. We also strongly recommend this program for dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety or dog aggression.

They can start as early as 12 weeks as long as they are up to date with vaccines. Required vaccinations include rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus Proof of vaccinations are required.
All the dogs go out for morning potty breaks, then it’s time for breakfast before another morning potty break. After that the dogs start the training day, which includes 4-6 training sessions, a training walk, a group play session (if your dog is social), and a public outing before dinner is served in the evening, and final bathroom breaks. If your pup doesn’t play well with other dogs, we’ll play with them one-on-one.
This is a common pitfall with most other board and train services, but with our program and philosophy we have you as involved as possible to prevent such issues. We do take-home lessons every Friday afternoon where we review the lessons they’ve learned, and give you homework to practice over the weekend. On Monday, we review the weekly lesson plan with you before you hand the leash over to us.
While we appreciate your concern for socialization, socialization comes in many forms. That said, we strive to be more than just a dog on dog free for all. We ask the dog to be well mannered around other dogs in a cool, calm, positive way, which will be achieved through focus-based training.
We have several different packages depending on your dog’s age and needs. Our Associate’s Of Focus is two weeks long, Bachelor’s Of Partnership is four weeks, and Master’s of Committment is six weeks..
Bring enough food for the entirety of their stay (2, 4, or 6 weeks), a 6-foot leash, a no slip collar, and anything else you might feel will make them comfortable during their time with us.
Meet Sarge! This happy boy came to Dogology at 4 months old because he wasn’t listening to anyone in the family. He was pulling on the leash, jumping on people, and generally wreaking havoc.
By the end of his boarding school program, he was walking nicely on a loose leash, sitting politely for greetings, and listening to commands from anyone in the family – even the kids!
