FirstBarkMy dog loves going to training classes at Coventry. She was very shy and timid before classes and now can’t wait to go to school.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Will there be classes this evening?
Although they frequently have classes in the evenings, the front desk is usually not staffed then so, if you have questions, you might want to contact them a different way. (That's the explanation they gave me when I told them Goggle maps said they were closed.) If you are asking about this particular night inre weather, idk.

We love it here! We've had classes with our dog Aurora since she was a puppy. Our dog is happy and we are happy. All the trainers are phenomenal and it's a place run by people who LOVE dogs! 🐶
Love this PLACE! My german shepherd has been coming to Coventry for training and daycamp since she was a puppy! My first ever shep. She loves the staff and trainers. Coventry’s program has helped my dog and I gain the best foundations into training.
I really dont know how these people can have such good reviews. I took my dog for 1 month and realized it was not a good place. Lack of communication and I sb able to pick my pet up when I want
We've been using it for years. The owners really know what they are doing, and they love what they do! Staff is well trained, friendly, kind.
