My daughters and I had a terrific experience learning from Sarah!! She is so knowledgable, helpful and pleasant which made our sessions happy and productive. Sarah patiently addressed any questions or issues I had with very practical strategies. I think we’re off to a good start with Gizmo thanks to our work with Sarah!

Amanda was wonderful! She was super friendly, made us feel at ease, and worked at a pace that worked for Zuri and me! It was the least stressful eval I’ve done to date! The extra agility foundations were icing on the cake. Even though we had a private session for the primary purpose of the eval, Amanda ensured we utilized the full hour and taught me as handler with zero agility experience a new few things about agility in a clear, simple and repeatable manner!

Anita A. with Zuri
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!

This was a great experience for me and Porter. Sarah is terrific. She is patient and clearly cares for each dog. She worked with each owner/dog and catered the skill to his/her ability. My concern before starting the class was that Porter would be too afraid to try many of the lessons. Sarah assured me that every dog makes progress, even if it is just a little. She was right; Porter was able to accomplish things I never thought he would. It was wonderful to see him having fun and he was so proud…
Kimberly M. with Porter
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.

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.
