Clients Say…

I loved it. We are still improving our communication but Doggie Academy has helped us make huge strides. Plus, Ted LOVES it!
Erin M. with Teddy
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.
Kellie L. with Rux on Beginner Agility class
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
Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance. We really learned a lot and had a great time in the process!
Melissa R. with Stanley
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!!!
Liz D. with Chloe
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
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
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
doodle puppy
Patrick is a really excellent teacher. He clearly cares a lot and is super friendly and helpful.
Kirby K. with Hopper
poodle
It is apparent there is a genuine love for what they do, as well as a love for each of their clients.
Anna Marie D. with Jameson
