FirstBarkCoventry is an incredible place to take your dogs for day camp and training. The team there is absolutely amazing. They are very focused on your fur babies and providing you with a great sense of relief that they are well taken care of. Special shout out to everyone on the day camp team, Lauren, Rachel (trainer) and Stacey (trainer). You guys are just amazing! Thank you!

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.

Great place for doggie day care or to train your dogs. We do scent work there and I've never had happier dogs
The trainers here are awesome and so helpful. Our fuzz baby Layla has already learned so much!

LOVED our experience at the Coventry School. Stacy was an awesome teacher. We had experienced a class prior to discovering the Coventry school that was still using outdated punitive methods and so we were a little gun shy. This class was awesome and helped us solve some behavior problems with our 9 month old lab as well as get her out and about with other dogs present (she had some bad experiences and is afraid of other dogs). We are just waiting for a WonderDog class to post so we can sign up for more!

Earlier this year I rescued my mutt, Mushu. He has a sad past and was just fearful of the world. After he got comfortable in his new home, it was evident he needed some manners! We signed up for Beginners 100 with Johanna. Mushu has learned SO much and absolutely adored coming to class every week. Johanna was an excellent teacher who clearly knows dog behavior. She provided so much insight and advice custom to my dog. I would recommend her and The Coventry School to anyone! We look forward to taking more classes. Thanks for the help!
