A place to enrich your dogs life. Not just a 'babysitter'. Dogs deserve a place like this.

Awful business, terrible owner who was mean to me. My dog was so scared coming out of there. Will never go back.

Doglando has been a blessing to our family. Once you take a tour there, you will understand the magic behind it. We brought our puppy, Zoey, there at 4 months old and she has participated in all of their puppy skill building and enrichment programs. The staff is amazing and you can tell they all love what they are doing. We have learned so much from all of them. Zoey absolutely LOVES going there!! Highly recommend!

After taking my dog their for two years still recommend them to anybody I meet with either a new puppy or any dog that has a ton of energy to burn. I started taking my new puppy their for puppy training and while I was a bit leery about the price looking back on it now it was 100% worth it. The trainers are always very professional and willing to work with you on any behavioral issues you want to focus on. Then their is the play areas. They have a massive field which allows even the most energetic dogs to just run around and play with others, but always under the cautious eyes of the trainers. They know when a dog is playing around and when it’s getting to rough and to break it up so the dogs don’t get hurt. The second area is a smaller area called the sand pit and it allows the dogs, especially the smaller ones, to play in a smaller area and give them plenty of obstacles to run around and play on. TLDR: Professional Fun doggy day care/training school that is a little pricey, but 100% worth the cost.

The absolute most perfect place for your dog! It truly is heaven for your pup! From training to their enrichment program, it's a must.

Dr. Leroy is wonderful. All the vets and techs that work there are exceptional. Not only are they intelligent and seem to honestly care about your pet, they help you find the most affordable options. I drive past about 7 different vet offices to go there. We've tried multiple vets in Orlando and Oviedo and Chickasaw is where we finally feel satisfied.

We found Doglando in the midst of the pandemic. Our GSD was only 10 weeks at the time, and we were struggling with how to properly socialize her since a majority of dog training classes had been canceled. Enter Doglando - this wonderland of doggie adventures just waiting to happen. We’ve continued to return to Doglando 2-3 times per week, and at this point, they’re practically family. The staff has always been friendly and kind (shoutout to Amber and Rachael). We’ve progressed through just about all of their classes, and still continue to participate in skill building and enrichment. And the Puppy Parties on Saturdays/Fridays are our favorite because it’s transitioned into this type of unwind/relax time to bond with our dog a little deeper. Overall, I love Doglando, the positive reinforcement dog training techniques they use, their facility, the people....everything’s about the dogs. And that’s the way it should be!

We're very nervous puppy-parents that attended the full tour here and decided to enroll our dear Edwin in the puppy classes. He seems to be absolutely loving the enrichment time and usually comes home tired after a full day at the resort style school they have setup for the puppies! Our daily itineraries usually report that he attends both outdoor and indoor play including skill building and exploration. He's been introduced to the health-treated onsite pond, allowed to dig holes outside, and been rinsed before his midday naps. My biggest complaint so far is they won't let me attend classes here; Dogs only.

Doglando, and its wonderful staff, have been such a fantastic influence on our dogs. Perhaps, just as importantly, their education for us as dog owners has been incredibly insightful. They’ve helped not only with the training of our dogs, but a deeper understanding of their nature and how to be better companions to our pups. I’d highly recommend taking a tour of the facilities and meeting the staff to see for yourself !

There’s no other place like Doglando, honestly. With touring numerous places prior to actually working there, there’s no way I’d ever take my pup anywhere else. They care about your dog like no other. While not technically a “daycare”, if you’re considering taking your dog to a daycare, please reconsider and bring them here. I truly love this place with all my heart and trust this team with my pup more than I trust my own family.

After bringing my dog here since 2012/2013, I finally had to let University of Doglando go. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was hesitant about taking my dog there because I didn't want to be out unnecessarily. One Friday, after debating myself for hours, I decided to take him. When I got there, the person who usually works the front greeted us, I greeted her back and apologized for being late, she nice nastily replied "I know you're late because it's after 10AM", I'm not sure why that was necessary but whatever. She then proceeded to tell me that I'd have to pay a $30 late fee since I was bringing my dog after their, which didn't include the $42 daily rate, so that means they wanted me to pay $72 for my dog to attend daycare/enrichment for ONE day because he was late. I'd had a previous experience with them, years ago, where my dog stopped going for a while (because we stayed in another city for a month), and they said the only way I'd be able to bring him back is if I paid an additional $10 a week, for a month, for "consistency". Trying to charge me a $30 late fee, for a dog, was what finally made me decide to find a new place for my dog. I will say that if you bring your dog here, for enrichment, they will like it. My dog did, but his excitement has been the same for all of his daycares (he is 14 and we've relocated, so he has been to a few).

They are training my puppy to be an awesome family pet! This place is what I imagine dog-heaven to be like. At the end of the day I have a tired and happy puppy!

Fabulous training location for 10-16 year old kids to learn how to train dogs. The philosophy of Doglando allows dogs to be dogs while being obedient. It also creates a win-win by giving people a chance to be a leader. Finally, there's a wonderful alliance with area dog rescues who supply the dogs for camp.

I can’t say enough how great Doglando is! I brought Cooper there and he just finished the level 1 classes, skill building and enrichment days and comes home exhausted.... mentally and physically. It is so good to watch him socialize with other dogs big and small. The whole staff are wonderful and love dogs. They are never left alone without supervision. Highly recommend Doglando as my puppy starts barking as soon as I pull in the driveway!

My family loves Doglando. We came to Doglando at the recommendation of our vet for training and socialization. I was initially skeptical. I've seen "puppy daycares" where they crate your dog with limited outside and socialization time. I walked into the tour with that expectation and was immediately blown away. All of the dogs were out in the yard playing together. A combined groups was doing nature play in the back of the facility with trainers, while others were chilling out in the lagoon and the jungle gym. The staff was happy, the dogs were having a great time. Immediately, I knew we had found something truly awesome. In my experience, Doglando offers three key services: puppy training, dog training and enrichment. We started with puppy training. I wanted to start our dog off with the best possible experience in her new life. In this initial program they teach crate training, basic commands and socialization with other dogs and people. As a dog owner, you know this is a critical time for your puppy to learn these skills. We noticed immediate results both in her obedience to basic commands and her transition from skeptical distrust of the crate to a place she felt comfortable. I have trained dogs before, and this was by far the smoothest transition I have ever seen. Puppy training lays the foundation for dog training where you advance on to bigger and better skills. These packages include a day where your dog works one on one with trainers and practices foundational and new skills. This isn't just about the dogs though, it's also people training. You will also learn skills, and on a second day you come in and practice those skills with your dog and other members of the class. We focused on distance, distraction and duration, building each of these as you go. Training at home, and training with others is a new experience. The training works. My GSD is well socialized. She's calm around other dogs and people. She comes immediately when I call her, and exhibits patience even when new people enter the house. Enrichment is like a training summer camp for dogs. They play all day in varied settings with other dogs of all sizes. It looks like fun, watch some of the videos on the site. I honestly wish I could swap places and go to enrichment while she went to work. Overall, Doglando is a key component of my dog's training. Their programs enrich my dog's life. She is happier and healthier because of her interaction with their trainers. I encourage you to call and schedule a tour, to meet the staff, and to swing by during the day and check out enrichment for yourself on the observation tower. If your dog is a part of your family, this can be an amazing experience for them. One final aspect of Doglando is their commitment to the community. They run a yearly camp where kids train dogs and help adopt them out to loving homes. They work with local rescue organizations. They do research in the field of dog wellness and behaviour. Supporting Doglando supports the community in return.

I’m still in disbelief. I can’t believe how amazing this place is!.. Read about their Camp Doglando program! The students and staff care so much about these animals. Please consider adopting your family pet from Doglando!

Our puppy Otis loves going to doglando. His excitement when we pull up is undeniable. He adores the trainers and loves his puppy friends. You can tell the owner and trainers truly care about all the dogs, the make every dog feel special. We enrolled Otis in the 12 week puppy class and so far have nothing but positive remarks. They give you all the tools and guidance necessary to raise a well behaved pup. Thanks Doglando!

This is week number 4 of a 16 week program for my 4 month old beagle at Doglando . Very nice grounds for the dogs to play and learn. The trainers that I have experienced so far seem knowledgeable and helpful. Office staff very welcoming and make me feel like they've known me forever. I'm new to owning a dog and this place has been a life savor so far. We are impressed with what we see at this point. I'll update review at the end of the 16 weeks.

We were referred to the University of Doglando by a friend. Our puppy, Ginger, was 12 weeks old when we started the training program. The program is a hands on, dog/owner training that not only teaches you how to behave with your dog and your dog to behave with you, but it teaches you the psychology behind the behaviors. I never knew there was so much psychology into owning a dog. UOD taught our family how to let Ginger be Ginger, but also behave appropriately when necessary. We still have some work to do but the strides we have made are fantastic. My puppy continues in the enrichment program three days a week and we love it. Most importantly, she loves it.

1 star because I can't do 0. The place is nice but the owner she just want the money. She doesn't care about the dogs. I took my 6 month gsd for group classes and she got worse thanks to her. She made me feel like my gsd was a monster. I tried to get my money back and she never email me back or answered my calls so unprofessional. If you keep reading past reviews you will see how they even hit dogs. Please don't take your baby here.
