Labs are No. 1 in NYC and the USA!!

Written by Doggie Academy in General on February 2nd, 2009

The AKC released 2008’s most popular dog breeds in the country. Once again, Labrador Retrievers came in first place. Hank is honored. As much as I usually like the offbeat or different, I can’t help but adore this popular breed.

They also released the statistics for various U.S. cities and, again, the Lab won in NYC. Big ups (whatever that means) to our buddy Becca, who’s Dachshunds Melody & Emma were represented in 3rd place in NYC.

WOOO! Doxie fever!

Clients Say…

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

Very enjoyable experience, helped us feel we were on the right track. It was good to go over everything we are doing with someone, and voice struggles we have with behavior. We also enjoyed learning from Lizzie and her pet, by seeing tricks, and also having her watch us with our dog. We also have to note that it was amazing to be able to set up an appointment so easily, and meet with someone so quickly online — this was an excellent feature, thank you!

PhilLip is a 11month old Cockapoo who was starting to have behavior issues due to fearfulness and is gaining confidence and loves getting to be active and use his rather big brain. Sarah breaks down the agility course so that he always succeeds and loves coming in.

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.

We had a great experience. I have quite a bit of experience training dogs and taught our Bigi basic obedience. I had never done agility and was interested to learn about it. I learned a lot and it was great for Bigi as well.

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.

Excellent class and we had a wonderful time.

Mary O. with Beasley

We really loved giving Daphne the opportunity to do Recreational Agility every week. She has become a better listener (although not less talkative…) and more confident in her movements. She has the tendency to be insecure with walking on certain textures and things that don’t feel balanced, so seeing her conquer the raised walk-way, teeter-totter, and wobble board was great. Amanda was a great instructor and truly cared about our dog.

It was all really helpful – Cooper is working on not jumping up, recall, and not being sassy when we put on the harness 🙂 all of the exercises were helpful and we’ve already started working on them with him and are slowly seeing improvements!

Grace B. with Cooper

Siouxsie and I both had a fantastic experience in our class. She learned so many new things and I learned how to better teach her. It was fantastic how Sarah was able to see what worked best for each dog and knew when to push them and when they needed a break. Our class has really sparked our Joy of working with agility and we can’t wait to learn more!
