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…

Wiley
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
chloe
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
Pork-Chop
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!
Heidi S. with Pork Chop
Paddington
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
Stanley
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
Goblin
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.
Caitlin K. with Goblin
Sky
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
Rux
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
Hilda-and-diploma
We had a wonderful time, and we feel like our classes really helped us develop as trainers and parents to Hilda!
Molly T. with Hilda on Basic Manners class
GSD
