Clients Say…

Sadie does well with training and loves agility class.
Dawn S. with Sadie

Siouxsie and I both had a fantastic experience in our class. She learned so many new things and I learned how to better teach her. It was fantastic how Sarah was able to see what worked best for each dog and knew when to push them and when they needed a break. Our class has really sparked our Joy of working with agility and we can’t wait to learn more!
Erin S. with Siouxsie
It was all really helpful – Cooper is working on not jumping up, recall, and not being sassy when we put on the harness 🙂 all of the exercises were helpful and we’ve already started working on them with him and are slowly seeing improvements!

Sarah is a godsend. When I first adopted Bella, she had been living in a shelter for six months and was so confused as to what the world even was outside of the cage she was living in. Sarah helped me to understand Bella–the way she thinks, the way she remembers, the way she understands the confusing world around her. Now Bella and I are more bonded and solid than ever because of Sarah. She really helped me to have a better and more meaningful relationship with my dog.
Tory M. with Bella
I was truly impressed by Kate’s enthusiasm, patience, and warmth throughout all of the group classes and our additional private lesson. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any fellow dog owners.
Dane B. and Reuben
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
Doggie Academy definitely met my expectations when meeting with Kate. Bodhi loves her. Kate’s instructions on how to properly leash walk with Bodhi are amazing. He’s a different dog, when we are on our walks. Bodhi focuses more on me rather than nibbling everything off the street.
Michelle H. with Bodhi
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
