Clients Say…

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.

It is apparent there is a genuine love for what they do, as well as a love for each of their clients.

So amazing. I can’t wait to take another class. I’ve always loved training and working with Sierra but after this freestyle class, I feel so much more motivation. I am so excited to take future classes there with Sierra!

Cute Small Dog
I have always had an excellent experience. Class is fun, informative and supportive.

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
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.

In home dog training
We had one in home session and I saw results after because I was consistent with the lessons I learned from Jamie. She was great and I plan on using her again!
Rona D. with Hunter

I loved the intro to agility class and so did Libby. Amanda was great – always upbeat and helpful. I would love to take another class on agility.
Sarah W. with Libby
Dog with trainer
I was truly impressed by Kate’s enthusiasm, patience, and warmth throughout all of the group classes and our additional private lesson. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any fellow dog owners.
