    Cowboy was the first puppy I’ve ever had, and a crazy little Australian Shepherd at that! In looking around for some help in raising a puppy, I found Doglando- quite literally a little slice of Heaven for dogs, and the most wonderful “village” to support Cowboy and I in his development that I could have ever asked for! Cowboy started out at Doglando at around 5 months of age (he’s 2 years old now), entering the Pre-K9 Level 1 program. This program involved him going 3 days a week, focusing on enrichment one day a week, skill building the other 2 days. Some of his skill building days consisted of recall, crate + pedestal exercises, physical handling (massage/settle, which he just eats up now), just to name a few! Along with the Pre-K9 Level 1 & 2 program, came weekly group classes, where I learned and worked on building a relationship with Cowboy, absorbing all of the training info to use throughout the week at home! Now at 2 years old, Cowboy and I are going on all sorts of off leash adventures, that I have more confidence embarking on with him than I could have ever imagined!! All thanks to the weekly Pre-K9 classes and the work we’ve been able to do on our own to further strengthen what we’ve learned. Doglando’s Pre-K9 programs were quite honestly life-changing. They established a wonderful sense of community, and have educated me on so much regarding dogs’ needs and the lifestyle for them Doglando lives by! If it weren’t for them, Cowboy and I wouldn’t have half the adventures and relationship we have today!! The staff at Doglando is so wonderful, they all love their job tremendously and want only the very best for the dogs- it shows big time! Cowboy is always so excited to see them at Doglando and out in public at any events!! He knows the turns that lead to Doglando all too well, sleeping peacefully in the car until we get to East Colonial, immediately sitting up in the seat, eager for us to pull into a parking spot and go see all of his favorite humans and dog friends! Along with, running around with giant sticks the handlers bring to his attention, meditating in the pond, enjoying all of the elements and space Doglando provides!! All that being said, I could not recommend Doglando enough. If you’re looking for weekly dog enrichment with a wonderful community of people, look no further! Doglando is truly the best of the best.

    My husband and I have been bringing our golden retriever Moose to Doglando since he was 11 weeks old (he is now 9 months) and have nothing but the absolute best to say about our experience here! When we first began looking for a doggy day care to bring our pup to when we are at work, there was no comparison. Most other places were overcrowded and only had a small turf area for the pups to play in. In addition, Moose was able to join the pre-k course and get puppy training as well. When my husband and I went on the tour of Doglando, we left there saying how Doglando was like a heaven for dogs—acres of open grass, woodlands, water areas, and even a sand yard and obstacle course for the pups to play in! Not only is the enrichment center amazing, but the individuals who work here are even more incredible. Moose’s body always starts wiggling uncontrollably when we pull up to Doglando because he is so excited to be there! You can tell how caring and thoughtful everyone is from the pure look of excitement on his face when he sees the team. Not only does this team love Moose like I do when he is there, but the team has gone above and beyond to help guide me throughout the nutty puppy (and now adolescent) trouble stages that we go through. From helping us with early socialization, training advise and guidance, enrichment, and even helping introducing Moose to swimming, they have been incredible. If you want to have your pup stay busy and enriched while in a place filled with people who love him/her just has you do, I would look no further than Doglando.

    We’ve been coming to Doglando for 10 years now with our senior dog and about half a year with our puppy, and this place is absolutely wonderful! They have plenty of outdoor space to let dogs be dogs, to run around, swim, and play. But they also have indoor spaces for when the weather turns, or if your pup would benefit from less distractions, so doggies don’t miss out on the enrichment they deserve. They offer grooming services, a doggie bus for pick up/drop off, and also have quality pet food available for purchase at their facility to make life easier for you and your pup. Caring individuals are always actively working with the dogs so they can better adapt to their human’s life. The dogs safety, health and well-being is Doglando’s number one priority. From providing dogs with quality food and fresh water, to making sure all dogs are up to date on vaccines and that the campus is free of harmful bacteria/parasites that may reside in the “wild”. They’ve really thought out all aspects of “doggie daycare” to make them the best, but also unique in this industry. From training classes, to enrichment and skill building there is something here for you and your pups! You won’t find another place like them.

    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.

    We adopted our dog, Henry, in the Summer of 2017. He was a 7-month-old puppy then and we knew nothing of his history – only that he was found outside. I have had a dog my entire life, so I knew the importance of socializing dogs from a young age. I would take Henry to public places and slowly noticed that he was not comfortable with strangers approaching or touching him. One day, a young child wanted to pet Henry and Henry snapped at the child (no harm done, the child was not bitten). At this point I realized I had a difficult dog – which I had never experienced before. Over time, I realized that Henry’s intentions were not to harm, but that he just did not understand how to reign in his emotions/fears. And, I certainly did not have the tools to understand how to deal with a difficult dog. Well, we got lucky. In the Summer of 2018, we moved to Orlando so I could attend graduate school. As Henry’s “stranger danger” outbursts got worse, I knew I needed to get him help. I found Doglando online and gave them a call. As a scientist, I was drawn to Doglando’s systems-based (yet compassionate) approach to training dogs. Further, they included me in the training process to allow me to learn and understand how to deal with my difficult dog. As it turns out, Henry isn’t difficult at all, he just has a different set of needs (cattle dogs need their space). And Doglando helped me to learn them! Henry has now been at Doglando for 3 years and every morning he noses the leashes as if to ask if it is a “school” day. I love that he gets to run around and stretch his legs in wide-open spaces just like a cattle dog would naturally do. He comes home tired and happy, which puts a smile on my face. Happy puppy, happy mama! Henry still does not like being approached suddenly by strangers (or knocks on the door), but with Doglando’s skill-training we are now able to navigate situations in a safe and comfortable way. Henry looks to me for support and responds very quickly to learned commands (he is extremely treat-motivated). I highly recommend Doglando for any and all types of dogs. Henry was probably one of the more challenging cases and had to spend a lot of time learning the appropriate skills, but he has made it to Enrichment and I’m a proud dog-mama! But Doglando isn’t just there for the dogs – they have many weekend events for puppy parents as well. If you’re looking for a fun and interactive experience for you and your 4-legged friend, Doglando is the place for you! Not to mention, the campus is beautiful, and they are always working on making it even better (seriously, check it out!). The staff is friendly, they always remember every dog’s name, and they will give you a run-down of how your pup’s day went. As an added bonus, if you’re a Tampa Bay Bucs fan, you’ll find a friend here. Brady or no Brady – the Bucs are always on proud display. Finally, Doglando is heavily involved in community and world charitable causes. Every summer, they invite the young’uns to participate in Camp Doglando where they learn how to care for and train dogs. And, in the 3 years that we have been part of Doglando, I’ve seen them do work in places like Guatemala and Kenya helping both humans and animals alike! I personally enjoy being part of a community that, not only has my pup’s interest at heart, but also finds it important to give back to the community (and the world). I have never had a bad experience here – only a tired dog.
