About My Dog's Place LLC

When lifelong animal lover Marge took her beloved Gordon Setter, Java, to My Dog’s Place for the first time, both she and her pooch knew they’d found something special. Here, they discovered the power of positive reinforcement training, and like so many of our visitors, Marge fell in love with our humane and effective methods. Today, she is proud to be owner and manager of My Dog’s Place, welcoming in new dogs and their owners to become part of our family. Whether your pup needs training, daycare, or playtime, Marge and her team invite you to let your dog grow in a space that offers true support.

What are the fees for daycare?

They have fees listed on the website, just look under daycare in the menu and keep scrolling down.

Community answer · Barbara Costas · 2019-09-21

It's around $30.00 per day but the daily rate declines based on how many days in advance you purchase.

Community answer · Whitney Pope · 2019-09-21

I think its about $28 a day for 1 dog.

My dog highly recommends this place, which is the only opinion that matters, right? 🩵 Honestly, the only reason I think she likes getting in the car is because she thinks she’s going to daycare lol

I've been bringing my dogs here for training for the past 18 months, and the care and attention to detail in developing a Positive Reinforcement training curriculum for dogs of all levels is apparent. There are always classes going on, from Puppy Primer which is an amazing introductory class for new puppies and really sets up your dogs for success in the future, to the three-tiered Companion Dog classes, designed to build on already established skills and add new skills which will grow the relationship you have with your dog. Having two locations, on each side of the Thames means you'll be able to find a class thats a convenient distance from you. All dog owners are going to benefit from working with the incredible staff at My Dogs Place.

Most un empathetic establishment I’ve ever done business with . I work 3 jobs and send my puppy to their daycare for the last 5 weeks 3 days a week , as I’m single and live alone and just moved to the area a week before I got him . He’s a good puppy , but he’s that a puppy and is still learning. I had a death in the family recently , but because my puppy plays too rough ( not harmful ) but rough and I haven’t taken their “ mandatory “ class yet he was kicked out … I asked them for a day that works with my schedule was told it wasn’t till may 15th and he wasn’t allowed back before then . Great way to have empathy for someone and what’s been going on and instead of helping me out with other suggestions of how to help him behave better he gets kicked out . Horrible way of doing business . I’ll be sure to have him trained elsewhere . Thanks for all your help. update: Anyone seeing this should check out the BARK app for training and boarding ive spoken with 2 providers on there already that offer 2 week boarding and training , also stated the exact opposite to they have said this whole time at the daycare telling me he was aggressive , when he is very calm and so loving to everyone he meets at home and other dogs he interacts with on a daily basis with me. Glad I found somewhere else in just a day that treats their customers with respect and suggests things to help instead of demanding what they want without any help or compassion.

My grandmother enrolled her puppy in their training program on February 24th, 2023. My Ant, went with her to help with the training. The fee for day care and training was over $300.00 (non refundable) Our families new puppy began daycare on 2/27/23. On 3/2/23 (Thursday night) from 6-7pm was her second training night, the trainer who worked with our group was Jennifer, we were seated with nine other puppies in a large circle. During this session my grandmother was humiliated and embarrassed more so than she has ever been before in her entire life!! She is 84 years old and the trainer Jennifer repeatedly reminded the group that she was a trainer for over 12 years and asked my grandmother MULTIPLE TIMES as to why she decided to get a puppy. She had explained that my grandfather (her husband) of 45 years had just passed away and needed a companion in the home to spend her time with. After my grandmother emotionally explained that to everyone Jennifer INSISTED on continually asking her this same question throughout the session. Jennifer was extremely rude, had absolutely NO COMPASSION, and on purpose tried to humiliate my grandmother. Our puppy contracted kennel cough, and two different types of infections and had to go on antibiotics and had multiple blood works tests performed to get a final diagnosis, which we were told by an employee that our puppy wasn’t the only one who had gotten sick out of that group. Needles to say we will never return or recommend this facility or their trainer Jennifer. Very unprofessional. Angela, Karen, Elly (Excuse the user name my daughter made it for me.)
