Turn your dog into a model citizen and get your life back.
Create your ideal canine partner with Dogology University
The board-and-train model is broken.
Dogology University was founded because we saw how uninvolved dog parents were in their dogs’ training, and we wanted to change that. Dogs can be trained to do anything, but that training is wasted if the dog will only listen to the trainer (and not their owner).
Dogology University is different.
Our unique program format allows you to fully integrate the lessons that your dog learns with our trainers, and gives you the satisfaction of turning your dog into a well-mannered member of society.
10+ Years Of Dog Training Experience
Founder and CEO Matt Lamarand has trained dogs in the Air Force and Secret Service, and even served on President Barack Obama’s security detail. Now, he is bringing his experience to pet dogs in the Canton and West Bloomfield area.
Founded in 2018, Dogology University brought a new way of dog training to Canton — one that focuses on the relationship between the dog and their owner. Since our founding, we’ve helped thousands of metro Detroit families improve their relationship with their dogs.
Located conveniently at the intersection of West Maple Rd and Orchard Rd, our state-of-the-art facilities include 24/7 video monitoring, a 10,000 square foot 100% climate controlled environment, and professionally trained staff to ensure your dog’s safety and comfort.

Why Dogology University is the key to a well-trained dog
Many dog owners don’t consider training their dogs until it’s too late. A lack of proper socialization and training can cause a number of negative behaviors in your pooch that are difficult, if not impossible, to control later. That’s why it is best to start training as early as possible. At Dogology University, we offer a combination of dog training services that are designed to save you time while getting the best results.

Reviews from our clients
When Oreo first came to us, she was terrified of anything outside of her house. She’d shut down and urinate submissively, which meant that her owner didn’t want to take her out. This led to a self-perpetuating cycle; we taught Oreo (and her owner) that things didn’t have to be this way!
We taught Oreo how to be more confident, and gave her mom the tools to show Oreo that “hey, we’re a team, and we got this together.” By the end of the program, Oreo was happily working for food, performing drop-leash obedience, engaging with the trainers, and had transformed into an eager, willing participant!
When this pretty girl first came to us, she was herding her owner, jumping on him, scratching, and nipping at his pants to get him to go where she wanted him to. In fact, she bit Ash on the hand the first day she was here! To say that she was a firecracker was an understatement! She was also starting to become dog reactive due to the fact that she was overstimulated, and didn’t have an outlet for all of her puppy energy. She knew “sit” and “down,” but would bounce right out of the position.
Within her first two weeks here, she was crate trained, beginning to focus on us, and was starting to hold “sit” and “down” for longer and longer durations. Nova is now more well-adjusted, and her owner has all of the tools he needs to help her succeed in life.
When DaVinci first came to us, he was extremely dog aggressive. In fact, he attacked a dog statue at the vet’s office! During his evaluation, Matt had him at one end of a football field, with another dog at the other end of the field, 300 yards away! Despite his small stature, DaVinci was letting the other dog know in no uncertain terms what he thought about them!
By the end of his 6-week stay with us, DaVinci was participating in our group class with zero issues, and even passed his Canine Good Citizen test! Part of the test is greeting another dog; his response was to look away. In canine parlance, looking away and avoiding eye contact is a signal that says “I’m not a threat.”
DaVinci’s owners put a lot of work in, and it shows! Great job!
