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 was fortunate enough to attend a seminar at the Coventry School, and what a great experience it was! The staff was professional and helpful, and it’s so clear they place a tremendous focus on the wellbeing of the dogs and families they serve. I highly recommend this business without any reservations.
Made a phone call to this company. The person answering calls was very standoffish and did not seem to want to answer my questions. Energy is everything and customer service is important within any company. I would suggest that if you are a front desk worker, please remember that you are the face and voice of the company.

I've been bringing my dogs to the Coventry School for about 20 years. Their outstanding qualifications plus their extensive knowledge and hands on experience in caring for our furry family members make the Coventry staff the best in care and in training. Plus, they LOVE dogs! I will always be grateful for the time they offered to take my little one to her vet when she became ill while I was away at work. I appreciate how they work with my little pooch and even post photos of him on their social media. Of course, they post other dogs, but they make me feel that mine is special!
Busby loves going to Super Puppy Club and comes home happy and TIRED! I’m so glad he gets the chance to play with other puppies!
