Clients Say…

Thanks so much for your work w/ Pork Chop. He has made great strides in his behavior in only three sessions with you, and I feel much more comfortable as a first-time dog owner now. Thanks so much!

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
Sarah was an awesome instructor. She made learning fun & it was a great experience for me & my puppy. We’d highly recommend her & hope to take more classes with her in the future.

Amanda was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and incredibly patient and kind. She made learning fun and easy. Amanda was also highly responsive to emails and just overall a pleasure to have worked with.

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
Younger and Older Comparison of Dog Grace
There was not one thing more valuable than any other. And that is the whole point and why I love training my dog (s) here. Everything is inter-connected and builds upon itself so that each part is just as important as the last thing you learned here. Sarah really gets that and can relate that so well to her students, human and canine both.
Margaret W. with Grace
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.
Sharon S. with Reilly
Pitbull
I’ve received concrete information I understand and can use to continue training my dog. I’ve learned an excellent strategy on the leash. I’m learning to effectively use treats. And most important I’m learning how to break down a protocol – like “place” so I can teach it one step at a time to my dog.
Harriette B. with Brooklyn

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