Clients Say…

I wish puppy social hour happened more often!
Caroline N. with Olive
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.
Holly G. with Paddington
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
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
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
So amazing. I can’t wait to take another class. I’ve always loved training and working with Sierra but after this freestyle class, I feel so much more motivation. I am so excited to take future classes there with Sierra!
Stephanie T. with Sierra
GSD
I appreciated the variety of training exercises and strategies offered to tackle the assorted challenges my dog and I were having.
Beth V. with Pagan on the CGC Workshop
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
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
Sarah has an unassuming, unpretentious demeanor; a wonderful philosophy and a sound, definitive step by step curriculum all of which are outstanding and reflective of her expertise and devotion to her calling as a trainer. She is a blessing to any dog or dog owner who happens to call upon her.
