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…

This was a great experience. We were at our wits’ end trying to figure out why our dog had manifested such severe separation anxiety so suddenly and how to address it. After the session with Sarah, our dog’s behavior improved rapidly and his stress level immediately decreased.

Pomeranian
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.

Sarah is a godsend. When I first adopted Bella, she had been living in a shelter for six months and was so confused as to what the world even was outside of the cage she was living in. Sarah helped me to understand Bella–the way she thinks, the way she remembers, the way she understands the confusing world around her. Now Bella and I are more bonded and solid than ever because of Sarah. She really helped me to have a better and more meaningful relationship with my dog.
Tory M. with Bella
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
Sadie does well with training and loves agility class.
Dawn S. with Sadie
I wish puppy social hour happened more often!
Caroline N. with Olive
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.
Libby K. with June
wheaten terrier
Doggie Academy has been great with helping my puppy socialize, and learning commands. The instructors show genuine concern and will always go above and beyond to help your dog succeed. I will continue taking courses in order to build up the foundation.
Carla T. with Teddy
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.
Josephine H. with Sky and Breeze
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.
