SARAH WESTCOTT, CPDT-KSA

Owner & Trainer

Doggie Academy owner and trainer Sarah Westcott draws from her extensive toolbox to craft a unique lesson plan for each client based on their needs and goals. Whether you need assistance with pre-pet planning, puppy manners, basic obedience, advanced obedience, agility training or behavioral issues, Doggie Academy will help. She believes that training should be fun for both dog and human so that the journey is just as rewarding as the results.

Clients Say…

Sarah is a people trainer too, and a very patient one. I feel that if I just follow her directions, I will be able to successfully communicate with Sky. My goal is to enjoy life with Sky as much as possible.

My daughters and I had a terrific experience learning from Sarah!! She is so knowledgable, helpful and pleasant which made our sessions happy and productive. Sarah patiently addressed any questions or issues I had with very practical strategies. I think we’re off to a good start with Gizmo thanks to our work with Sarah!

Penny Doggie Photo
The whole process with Doggie Academy exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated that the trainer we originally selected was careful enough to make sure that we had the right trainer for Penny’s particular behavioral issues. Sarah was wonderful and from the moment she stepped in our home, she had a great and understanding energy. She listened to our concerns without judgment and was really able to communicate well with both us and Penny.
Anna S. with Penny
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!

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!

Patrick is a really excellent teacher. He clearly cares a lot and is super friendly and helpful.

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.

Two Small Dogs
Amanda was absolutely great, super sweet and funny, had a lot of patience and made the class a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed themselves, dogs and humans!
Gemma G. with Huey
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.
