Clients Say…

Pagan Dog Photo
I appreciated the variety of training exercises and strategies offered to tackle the assorted challenges my dog and I were having.
Beth V. with Pagan on the CGC Workshop
Two Small Dogs
Amanda was absolutely great, super sweet and funny, had a lot of patience and made the class a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed themselves, dogs and humans!
Gemma G. with Huey
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
border collie agility
I recommend Doggie Academy to everyone I meet at the dog park with a high-energy dog. The training classes are really great for Archie, keeping his mind focused and tiring him out. We are really enjoying the new, larger space and the new seminar offerings.
Olivia T. with Archie
Wiley dog photo
Sarah and Kate showed genuine enthusiasm throughout the entire course. It is clear that they are passionate about what they do. There is obviously a lot of material on obedience training on the internet, but Sarah and Kate really break down the underlying philosophy and spend as much time, if not more, training and correcting the human — you can’t get that from watching a few YouTube videos.
Michael S. with Wiley on Basic Manners class
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
Sadie Dog Photo
Sadie does well with training and loves agility class.
Dawn S. with Sadie
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
corgi puppy
Franklin is my first dog, and this experience was our first puppy social. I expected all of the puppies to just play together the whole time, but I had learned so much in that hour observing the puppies being shy and on different social/energy levels. Patrick did a fantastic job moderating and spending time focusing on each puppy. He brought to our attention an important lesson to train our Franklin and gave great advice.
Yuki M. with Franklin
doodle puppy
Patrick is a really excellent teacher. He clearly cares a lot and is super friendly and helpful.
