Clients Say…

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
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
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.
Olivia T. with Archie
corgi puppy
Franklin is my first dog, and this experience was our first puppy social. I expected all of the puppies to just play together the whole time, but I had learned so much in that hour observing the puppies being shy and on different social/energy levels. Patrick did a fantastic job moderating and spending time focusing on each puppy. He brought to our attention an important lesson to train our Franklin and gave great advice.
Yuki M. with Franklin
Amanda was absolutely great, super sweet and funny, had a lot of patience and made the class a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed themselves, dogs and humans!
Gemma G. with Huey
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
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
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
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.
Lorraine S. with Junior
I have always had an excellent experience. Class is fun, informative and supportive.
