Clients Say…

Small Black Dog
Although we live in Astoria, I don’t mind traveling all the way to Brooklyn to take the classes because my dog (and I) really enjoy them!
Kathy T. with Scout
rescue dogs
Great experience, Butler and I both had a lot of fun at the agility classes. Great learning and bonding opportunity for us!
Michal S. with Butler
Goblin Dog Photo
This was a great experience. We were at our wits’ end trying to figure out why our dog had manifested such severe separation anxiety so suddenly and how to address it. After the session with Sarah, our dog’s behavior improved rapidly and his stress level immediately decreased.
Caitlin K. with Goblin
pug dog
My daughters and I had a terrific experience learning from Sarah!! She is so knowledgable, helpful and pleasant which made our sessions happy and productive. Sarah patiently addressed any questions or issues I had with very practical strategies. I think we’re off to a good start with Gizmo thanks to our work with Sarah!
Kathy A. with Gizmo
Penny Doggie Photo
The whole process with Doggie Academy exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated that the trainer we originally selected was careful enough to make sure that we had the right trainer for Penny’s particular behavioral issues. Sarah was wonderful and from the moment she stepped in our home, she had a great and understanding energy. She listened to our concerns without judgment and was really able to communicate well with both us and Penny.
Anna S. with Penny
Dog Training Graduation
Kate was a great trainer. Meli already knew some of the concepts in the class, but Kate always gave us modifications to help her learn the next level of a command so that she was engaged in each class.
Katie C. with Meli
cavapoo
We had a great session with Lizzie! I feel more confident in training Flynn on recall and that we are on the right path for a well trained dog.
Mackenzie O. with Flynn
wheaten terrier
Doggie Academy has been great with helping my puppy socialize, and learning commands. The instructors show genuine concern and will always go above and beyond to help your dog succeed. I will continue taking courses in order to build up the foundation.
Carla T. with Teddy
Rux Dog Photo
The classes have been awesome, and a real benefit to Rux’s confidence and training all around. We both really look forward to classes, and Sarah, you’re great! I also really appreciate that the number of dogs enrolled in class is kept to small number. We walked away after each class with new skills to work with and build on.
Kellie L. with Rux on Beginner Agility class
Sadie Dog Photo
Sadie does well with training and loves agility class.
