Clients Say…

sleepy dog
It was great! Amanda helped reinforce things we had heard and also taught us how to understand things from the dog’s point of view.
Catharine P. with Fritz

We are really excited that Doggie Academy is so close to our home and excited to have a well-trained puppy/dog!
Pamela Brown with Lola
border collie mix
Amanda was phenomenal! She seemed very experienced with the subject of the class (agility) and able to differentiate for each of the dogs in the class, no matter their level of ability. My dog struggles with confidence quite a bit, and Amanda had really helpful suggestions to help her acclimate to some of the more challenging obstacles. I hope to take more classes with Amanda in the future.

Williamsburg dog training
Sarah was wonderful. She was timely, friendly and Mufasa seemed to love her! We really appreciated her thoughtful approach and willingness to talk about anything we threw at her.. and we threw out a lot 😉
Denise J. with Mufasa
duck tolling retriever
Very pleased with our experience at Doggie Academy. Reilly clearly enjoys it. It’s fun to see that he’s an eager learner and it’s great exercise for him physically and mentally. Sarah sized up Reilly right away and gave specific suggestions for training our speedster.

wheaton terrier puppy
I wish puppy social hour happened more often!
Caroline N. with Olive
Just wanted to let you know that Chloe passed the evaluation to be a therapy dog! It was all due to your excellent training. Thank you so much!!!

I’m coming back!
Leila O. with Sirius
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
Harley Doggie Photo
Harley learned jumping and the tunnel. The most important lesson I want her to know is “come”… and I feel when we were doing the tunnel, she was also learning “come”. I can’t wait to see how far Harley can go with Agility. If she shows promise, I’d love to take her as far as she could go… Maybe even compete with her. 🙂
