We have an awkwardly nervous, and crazy rescue dog, that I'm POSITIVE somehow has doggy PTSD. He…read morealso has some sort of ADHD, which makes it impossible to get him to pay attention, or get his focus on one specific thing like dinner or late night potty trips. He also has a hard time with strangers, so we were resigned to think we would never get away from the house due to his issues. Once we were forced to look into dog-sitting for an event we were required to attend, we realized finding someone to look after him was imperative. After emailing back and forth with Crissy, we set up a time for them to meet at our house, to see how they got along. Carson was his typical shakey, barking self, but Crissy's easygoing nature made his nerves settle down and he eventually took to her quite enthusiastically. Crissy has dog-sat for us on multiple occasions, on day trips and weekend overnights, and every time we returned, we came back to a happy dog, and a safe house. I feel confident leaving our lil guy in her capable hands, and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her to anyone with pets, and especially people with pets who have special needs, are old or injured, or have issues that put them out of the possibility of putting their lil friend in a kennel. Prices are reasonable, with prices by the hour, or by event, such as a one hour visit being $28, or an overnight with a mid day walk being $68. Absolutely worth it, Crissy is talented and wonderful, and will remain with our family for as long as possible.

I would like to share my incredible experience of Rhodes Collar. We moved to Connecticut from…read moreArizona in January of 2025 with our poodle puppy Curtis less than 1 year old at the time. Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.

I was incorrectly told my dog hadn't been seen in over a year so they could justify charging me for an exam just to get her routine yearly allergy shot. When I proved that wasn't true, they came up with another excuse. Every single visit turns into an attempt to add more unnecessary charges to my bill, even when I've clearly said no. It feels very dishonest and pushy. I would not recommend this animal hospital. Find a vet that actually cares about your pet--not just your wallet. It is exactly why we switched!

I'm sorry. I hate to write bad reviews - I really do. But I just have to say something. We recently…read morehad our dog stay here over a weekend and we will never come again. Our usual place was booked, so I was relieved to find another kennel in the area. Without many photos online, we took our chances. Will was friendly enough. When we checked in he apologized for the "mess" but the property felt dirty and unsanitary. Obviously it's a dog kennel, so I'm not expecting it to be spotless. But it felt filthy. When I came to pick up my dog, I arrived at the agreed upon time, only to find the building locked and dark inside. I had to call the owner to come, which took several minutes. When he opened the door to the kennel, he put on earphones (the dogs were barking THAT loudly) and turned on the light. There was at least a dozen dogs in their individual kennels, left in the dark? The owner couldn't recall which dog was mine, which felt like a huge red flag to me. I also thought it was crazy that you had to pay extra for play time. What did you do with the dogs who don't pay for that? How often are they let outside? It wasn't clear to me. Once we finally got out of there, I brought my dog home. It wasn't until I let her out of the car that I realized she clearly had a bad case of diarrhea over the weekend. Her rear was stained bright yellow, with feces clinging to her fur. It almost appeared like she had been sitting in it all weekend. Regardless, I wish the kennel owner would have given me a heads up with a proper "recap" of the weekend and how my dog did. Instead, we were rushed out there because he had somewhere else to be. We board our dog all the time at various kennels, including on our cross-country move earlier this summer. We always provide her food (she has a grain allergy), and she's never had a case of diarrhea this bad before. I'm not sure what caused it, if there was added stress or strain in any way? But the fact that we weren't properly informed, I just didn't appreciate it. That, combined with the dirty property, just left me feeling disgusting. I might be crazy, but these are not conditions I expect from a dog boarder.

We left our golden retriever Nemo at My Toy Kennel for two weeks (unfortunately we could not bring…read morehim on our trip). I had heard only good things and was expecting the best. I checked in with Bill twice during our trip and the response was "he is doing well". When we picked him up he had what Bill called a "hotspot" on his head. Looked like a painful sore. I was told it was not big deal and just to put Neosporin on it. I paid for a bath upon pick up but our dog was still wet. Bill said it's because we picked him up in the morning. Hotspots need to be kept dry so I didn't like that our dog was wet. When we got him home I noticed two spots on his paws. I ended up taking him to the vet and have been cleaning his hotspots and applying antibacterial cream. The vet was surprised that the kennel owner played off the hotspot as no big deal. She had to shave Nemo's head and the sore spots on each paw. The kennel is messy. When I dropped my dog off I was told that the mess would be cleaned up. It looked the same as when I dropped him off two weeks prior. When I paid Bill and I were chatting about Nemo's one on one time (I paid extra for that). He said he doesn't usually like golden retriever's. I thought that was an unprofessional thing to say to an owner of a golden retriever. Needless to say Nemo is not returning.

We have never had or trained a dog before and just knew the bare minimum of sit, stay, etc. At 1 years old, Miso still really struggled with potty training, barking in the house at outside stimulation, over excitement and aggressive fear of strangers. Within one session, Jesse, recognized where I needed to improve in my own training as a dog owner and what Miso needed to learn to be a calm, happy, dog with manners. She taught me how to read dog language and how I had actually been reinforcing bad & fearful behavior this whole time! Jesse gave me the training tools and techniques to practice with Miso on a daily basis. The progress has been astounding and before Jesse, there were moments when we thought we might need to re-home Miso. Now we can't even imagine not having Miso in our family, thanks to her!!! Jesse is a patient, articulate, and very knowledgeable trainer who loves what she does. I highly recommend her! You need to put in the training work with your pup on a daily basis, but Jesse is the one you want teaching you how to efficiently and effectively train your pup!
