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…

shepherd dog
This was a great experience for me and Porter. Sarah is terrific. She is patient and clearly cares for each dog. She worked with each owner/dog and catered the skill to his/her ability. My concern before starting the class was that Porter would be too afraid to try many of the lessons. Sarah assured me that every dog makes progress, even if it is just a little. She was right; Porter was able to accomplish things I never thought he would. It was wonderful to see him having fun and he was so proud…

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!!!

border collie agility
I recommend Doggie Academy to everyone I meet at the dog park with a high-energy dog. The training classes are really great for Archie, keeping his mind focused and tiring him out. We are really enjoying the new, larger space and the new seminar offerings.

It was really good for Mowgli to be around dogs and lots of stimuli, but still practice sitting quietly and being patient. Of course, it was SO fun to have him do the obstacles as well and he seemed to pick them up quickly (though not necessarily execute them quickly haha).
Abby E. with Mowgli
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
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.
Katie C. with Meli
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
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
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.
