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…

WOW!!!! I’ve referred every puppy in the dog run to Sarah’s class.
Tamar K. with Henry
I have always had an excellent experience. Class is fun, informative and supportive.
Riva T. with Peanut
My daughter learned the most!!!
Tamara S. with Izzy
dog behavior
Kate is extremely patient and kind. She listened to my concerns and adjusted the class to fit Charlie’s needs and mood. I look forward to our next lesson!
Zuri F. with Charlie
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
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
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.
Jason F. with Bigi
labrador
My dog, Oscar, is a young, energetic (sometimes unruly!) lab and regular agility lessons with Sarah give him a great physical and mental workout. He leaves happily tired, and is always so excited to come to the Doggie Academy and to see Sarah, who is a firm, clear, and generous teacher and trainer. Through agility, I have picked up some very helpful training tips that carry over well into daily life and have learned a lot about my dog: what motivates him, what engages him, how to hold his attent…
Laura V. with Oscar
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
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.
