Best Place to take your Dog in Albuquerque. No One, trains dogs better or gets more well behaved dogs than Arie. It's fun and organized. Dogs absolutely love it here. And Arie only hires the best people. There is No competition. This is The Spot for Dogs.
Arie’s DogLand is an absolute life saver. The 6 week, REWARD BASED, puppy course gave us so much direction for building a lifelong foundation for our little guy. They take safety incredibly seriously, allowing us the chance to do multiple introductions for our more fearful pup before transitioning him into daycare.…
Dogland’s puppy training has been such a great experience for both Mazzy and our family. Mazzy just graduated from puppy school and learned so many tricks, commands and some much needed manners. She’s gained so much confidence and patience, and we can already see the difference at home. Everyone at Dogland is so…
Our puppy was extremely shy before going to Dogland puppy class and playgroup. She’s a super social pup now because of the help of everyone at Arie’s Dogland! She’s knows loads of commends now as well as being very socialized! We are very appreciative!!
Jack, my golden retriever and I love Dogland. Everyone at Dogland loves all the doggies they take care of every day!
Im dog sitting for my friends that love this place. The few times I've been there to drop of their dog, the folks are great and helpful. The dogs seem to love it.

Arie’s DogLand is an absolute life saver. The 6 week, REWARD BASED, puppy course gave us so much direction for building a lifelong foundation for our little guy. They take safety incredibly seriously, allowing us the chance to do multiple introductions for our more fearful pup before transitioning him into daycare. They are always impeccably clean. They have a full inventory of all the things a dog dreams of and options that make our lives easier too! Between their amazing staff who visibly care about your dog, to the knowledge they pour into their website (I learned so much more about what my dog should be eating!) to the training courses, we cannot stop recommending them! Arie is a wonderful trainer with an absolutely killer team and man do they take awesome photos!
Hey Lauren, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind five-star review for us! We're so grateful for both your time and the fact that you have had such a great experience with us. Thank you for everything, and we'll see you again soon!
Dogland’s puppy training has been such a great experience for both Mazzy and our family. Mazzy just graduated from puppy school and learned so many tricks, commands and some much needed manners. She’s gained so much confidence and patience, and we can already see the difference at home. Everyone at Dogland is so welcoming, sweet and genuinely loves the dogs. I also love that they offer so much all in one place, from grooming and training to dog food, treats, snacks and awesome training tools. Did I mention that they dress up dogs in Halloween costumes and take their pictures-that’s the level of love they have for our fur babies. It feels so good to support a women owned small business that truly cares about the dogs and their humans. We’ll be back for grooming and for play group dates soon!
Hey guys, Thank you so very much for leaving this awesome and detailed review! We are so stoked that you and Mazzy had such a good time, and we're lucky to have you guys as Doglanders. Thank you for all of the hard work you've put into your little one... it shows! We'll see you again soon... thanks so much again for all of your kind words!

Hey Martha, Thank you so very much for this five-star review you left for us! We're thankful for your time, and we are so lucky to call Jack a Doglander. We appreciate you bringing him to play... he's a keeper. Thanks again and see you soon!

Hey thanks for this, Alan! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a five-star review, and thank you also for helping out with bringing the dogs! We appreciate it!
Our puppy Biscochito has gotten to be part of playgroup and puppy classes, both of which have been outstanding. Everyone who works there is so kind and truly loves the dogs. Arie and Miranda have also been beyond patient and accommodating while we navigate some health challenges with our puppy. Grateful that we have such a great space for pups in our community! Thanks Dogland team for all you do!
Hey Courtney, Thank you so much for leaving such a kind, five-star review for us! Your poor little guy has been through a lot, but I'm so glad he's doing well nowadays, and you have done a great job with him health-wise and behavior-wise as well. Thank you again for everything, and we hope to see you guys again soon!
We found Dogland thanks to a chance conversation on a neighborhood trail with another dog owner whose incredibly well-behaved, socialized dog was a walking advertisement for whatever training they had done. They enthusiastically recommended Dogland’s puppy program, and I’m so glad they did! We’ve attended both the puppy playgroup and puppy training class with our Lab puppy, Hazel, and the experience has been wonderful from the very beginning. Arie and her entire team are some of the kindest, most encouraging, and helpful people you’ll meet. As first-time puppy owners, they made us feel supported, answered all of our questions without judgment, and genuinely wanted both us and our puppy to succeed. One thing that impressed me immediately was how calm and peaceful the facility is. They can have 20+ puppies playing together, yet it’s remarkably quiet. Instead of chaos and constant barking, the environment feels relaxed and well managed. It’s obvious that everyone at Dogland truly loves dogs. They use positive, reward-based training methods, and you can see the difference in how happy and engaged the puppies are. Hazel gets so excited the moment we pull into the parking lot. What I didn’t expect was the sense of community they’ve created. I genuinely looked forward to puppy class each week—not just because of the training, but because it was so fun seeing the staff, the other puppies, and their owners. Even during playgroup drop-offs and pickups, the other dog owners were always so friendly. It became something we really looked forward to each week. We’re so grateful for that recommendation, and now we’re happily passing it on. If you’re looking for a place where your puppy can safely socialize, learn, and be genuinely cared for, I can’t recommend Dogland enough.
Hey Jenn, Wow, thank you so very much for taking the time to post such a detailed and positive review! We are so grateful! Also, we're kinda shocked that you guys are first-time puppy owners... you could have fooled us! We were so impressed with your and your son's work with Hazel. We are so pumped that you got so much out of what we offer, and thank you so much for mentioning the safety, calmness, and cleanliness of our environment. We have high standards in all of those departments, so thank you for recognizing it. We are thankful for all of what you mentioned... thank you so much, and we hope you and Hazel have an awesome summer. See you soon!
We absolutely recommend Dogland’s early start, reward-driven puppy class! We met weekly for six weeks, and Ari and her team were fantastic. Our puppy learned basic commands like sit, down, stay, come, shake, and more, and we even got to spend a day on their obstacle course. One of the biggest benefits was the safe socialization for puppies who aren’t fully vaccinated yet. Our puppy was able to interact with other puppies, meet lots of new people, and build confidence in a controlled environment. They also gave us helpful handouts and exercises to practice at home between classes. It was also clear that Ari and her team genuinely care about the dogs. They were a great resource whenever we had questions or needed help troubleshooting issues outside of class. For example, they helped us find healthier food options for our puppy, which they also sell at pretty reasonable prices. We also enrolled him in their daycare, which has been another great way for him to socialize with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. Overall, it was a great experience and gave us a really strong foundation for training. We would absolutely recommend Ari and her team to anyone with a new puppy!
Hey Christian, Thanks so much for the five-star review and such a detailed and thoughtful post! Thank you also for appreciating and mentioning the safety of our socialization protocol/groups... we really take a lot of pride in that, so we're grateful for your mention. Thank you so much for everything, awesome job with your little one, and we'll see you soon!
We just finished up puppy class at Dogland. We learned so much! It’s a great foundation class to get you started on the right path with your new pup. Reward based methods, socializing and safety are all components of the class. Newt was always excited to go and see all his friends. He’s also been going to daycare. I love sending him knowing he’s getting socialization in a safe environment with trained staff. He always comes home happy and tired, and is always eager to go play when he’s dropped off there. He’s never stressed to anxious. All positive signs for me knowing him and all the pups there are happy, being watched and cared for properly.
Thanks so much, Miranda! We are so grateful to have gotten to be a part of Newt's training and puppyhood... you're doing such a great job with him. Thank you for mentioning the safety of our puppy socialization playgroups as well... that means a lot and we appreciate it. Thanks a ton, and we'll see him again soon!
