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.

I am very comfortable leaving my 9 month old Golden at Covington.. He can't wait to get in the front door. The staff treats him like he is their dog. At the end of the day it's clear he got a lot of exercise. He falls asleep in the car and takes a long nap when we get home. I highly recommend the Coventry School for Doggie Daycare. Rick Potocek

Excellent dog training center and daycare. They offer a ton of different kinds of group classes including basic obedience, tricks, treiball, nose work, fit dog, kranky k9s etc. My dog loves daycare here so much she whines if I take too long to get her out of the car and again if we have to wait in line for her to be dropped off. My dog gets so excited when she realizes where we are. 10/10 would highly recommend.
What a gem. Aside from us being a return customer, having brought our family dog here for training in the 90s, this training academy really has it all! We can't recommend it highly enough!
We love Coventry! My dog is always so excited to walk through the doors. The staff is wonderful and show love/kindness to all the dogs they encounter. The trainers have been a great help and are always available for questions.
