Clients Say…

Patrick is a really excellent teacher. He clearly cares a lot and is super friendly and helpful.
Kirby K. with Hopper
dog obedience
We first heard about Doggie Academy from the Internet. Once we had a session with Kate, though, we were hooked. She has such a positive, upbeat attitude, and offers helpful tips for improving our life with Wicket (within the practical realm of what we and Wicket are able to achieve). Unlike other trainers we had worked with previously, Kate is not judgmental, listens carefully, and does not try to rush things. She gives thorough advice, feedback, and (of course) Wicket loves her.

WOW!!!! I’ve referred every puppy in the dog run to Sarah’s class.
Tamar K. with Henry
online dog training
I was a little nervous about trying to do dog training via ZOOM, but was surprised at how well it worked. I had a full room-size view of Lizzie and her dog Phin and she could see me and Maya very well. It was also very helpful to see her working with her own dog.

Excellent class and we had a wonderful time.

puppy training
“It was interesting to see how splitting the larger puppies from the smaller puppies allowed for the shyer smaller pup to gain confidence.”
Heather M. with Hunter
Mowgli Dog Photo
It was really good for Mowgli to be around dogs and lots of stimuli, but still practice sitting quietly and being patient. Of course, it was SO fun to have him do the obstacles as well and he seemed to pick them up quickly (though not necessarily execute them quickly haha).

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.
