Doggie Academy Client Testimonials

"We consulted others before working with Sarah and they told us there was no hope for our new 8 year old dog who was biting. Sarah promised us nothing but said she would try and she delivered everything. She was very sensitive to the individual dog and to our eccentricities in developing a course of action."
"Sarah was such a great instructor. When I brought home our Vizsla, he was so full of energy and had no idea how to behave properly! He was so sweet, but would become unruly and would act like the Tasmanian devil when he "acted out"! Sarah helped me and my boyfriend see that we needed to enforce certain rules so that we would be happy, but also so that Hemi would be happy. She was so right! She seriously helped transform our puppy from a wild man into a well behaved and very obedient dog. She always used positive reinforcement techniques that worked AMAZING well! And she was always patient with our puppy and especially with us! She made the entire experience of training and raising a puppy a lot less stressful and extremely enjoyable. Thank you so much Sarah!"
"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."
"Sumo is my 2 year old Giant Schnauzer. If there was garbage around, she would always run straight for it and NEVER come back. She would chase people and eat anything in sight. We were starting to change our lives to avoid these problems, avoiding places where there could be garbage around, keeping her on the leash if there were people around etc. Recently a group of Sunset Park dog owners arranged a time for Sarah to come help us with our doggie problems. Since then Sumo is a changed dog! Her recall is getting better by the day, even though she still tries to chase people she will stop cold if she hears " Sumo, Here". My husband and I have also changed, we are consistent with our training and really implement Sarah's positive techniques. There is no yelling, no NO's, it is all positive reinforcement and it works! We whole heartidly recomend Sarah, she herself is great company and her classes are fun and very productive."
"Sarah is a really excellent trainer - she explains and demonstrates things really well and is always smiley and patient."
"Sarah was an excellent teacher! She has a great way with the dogs, firm, yet caring. I loved watching my puppy "listen" to Sarah during sessions."
"Thank you again for all your wonderful guidance and help with training Henry. As you observed during our first training session, Henry's been a headstrong and impulsive chaser of any moving 'object' that approaches- joggers, skateboarders, bicyclists, dogs, and children. He was out of control on the leash and would yank me every which way. I didn't think I'd be able to curb his 'playful lunging'. Well, within 3 weeks of your first visit, his improvement has been incredible. With your help and our practice sessions, Henry is a different dog on the leash. He's not chasing after people anymore, and lo and behold, he's not chasing after squirrels and birds, which is amazing, since that's in his 'hunting' nature. I know I have to keep vigilant about continuing his progress, but I can't thank you enough. You have a tremendous gift and it's been such a pleasure working with you!"
"Hi Sarah, I hope you are doing well and your puppy too! My parents got home a couple days ago and say Sam is doing well. Thank you for everything. Sammy is already improving and loves me more. :)"
"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!!!"
""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!" Have feedback for Doggie Academy feedback you'd like to add? Please e-mail us! |
