Pet boarding/training near East Rochester

“Look no further for your puppy training needs! As an animal behaviorist myself I did a lot of research in picking a trainer. Mary is patient, knowledgeable, easy going, and fun! I'm so glad I chose her school. Watching my puppy's confidence grown through the classes and puppy play time has been amazing!“

“I cannot express enough or find the words to truly explain how grateful I am for Lisa and her team at Dog Educated. We met by fate, my husband and I took in a 1 year old foster dog named Brioche in February of 2026. Brioche was besties with our 1 year old dog Bodhi, and she was already enrolled in the Canine Good Citizens class at Dog Educated by her previous owner when we got her, so we continued taking her to training. Not only is Lisa a very knowledgeable dog trainer and expert when it becomes to animal behavior, she is extremely compassionate and caring. Lisa had been Brioche's trainer since she was a puppy, and Lisa offered free help and advice as we navigated the first several days and weeks of going from a one dog household to suddenly having two 1 year old dogs. This came with challenges such as resource guarding, food aggression, and separation anxiety, all of which Lisa helped guide us through. We ended up adopting Brioche, and she passed her CGC test. We had such a wonderful experience with Lisa at Dog Educated, I wanted to enroll Bodhi in Intermediate Training there as well. I previously worked with two other dog trainers located on the west side of Rochester with Bodhi, but Bodhi was always scared, and would cry throughout every class. The thing I love about Dog Educated is it's very interactive, on your feet, working with your dog. There's no sitting in chairs, listening to lectures while your dog is restless. I also love that Lisa is thoughtful about the dogs personalities who are paired together in class so that the dogs can play and have fun. This was a game changer for Bodhi! By the time I brought Bodhi in for his third class, he was excited to go, and relaxed. Being able to play during a portion of class allows the dogs to associate going to training with a place they have fun and get to see friends and eat snacks. Not only this but Lisa provides 100% harm free, positive association training which in my opinion is the only method that should be used. Long story short, I highly recommend making the drive out to Dog Educated in East Rochester. Even if other trainers are closer and more convenient, no other trainer that I have worked with comes close to Lisa's demonstrated care and compassion when it comes to her clients and the safety and care of the dogs she works with.“

“Everyone here is so friendly and knowledgeable. I know my kitten is in the best hands!“

“They took very good care of my daughter's cat Spot, and took time to explain things to my daughter who was very nervous.
Very reasonably priced“

“I cannot express how grateful I am for Irondequoit Animal Hospital. They are always so kind. I have not met one staff member that wasn’t incredibly sweet and a pleasure to work with. They work with what I can afford and never try to do any sneaky upselling of unnecessary treatments. They have also accommodated emergency appointments when needed. I can’t recommend them enough. So happy and lucky to bring my three cats here.“

“Ashlie always goes above and beyond to give Sophie an amazing grooming!!

“Gayle, helps me learn how to teach my puppy proper behavior in a firm, simple procedure.“

“Lynda is an amazing guardian for your pets. She is a responsive and professional caregiver for my dog (Fiona). If I need to go away I feel very comfortable leaving her with Lynda. Fiona gets to play with other doggies and get lots of love. I know she will be loved and protected.“

“We have a rescue dog with some significant behavioral issues from prior abuse and neglect. After being turned away by the very rescue group we adopted her from, and a very negative consultation from one trainer, we found Michael which was a true blessing. Our dog Olive completed a board and train with Michael in his home. This has made such huge difference in the issues she was having. We now have a great foundation and the tools to build upon her success. We would 100% recommend his training services, and we plan on using his amazing new boarding services as well.“

“Great vets. Everyone has been helpful and uselly can get seen quickly if an emergency happens“
