Clients Say…

Penny Doggie Photo
The whole process with Doggie Academy exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated that the trainer we originally selected was careful enough to make sure that we had the right trainer for Penny’s particular behavioral issues. Sarah was wonderful and from the moment she stepped in our home, she had a great and understanding energy. She listened to our concerns without judgment and was really able to communicate well with both us and Penny.
Anna S. with Penny
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
Pitbull
I’ve received concrete information I understand and can use to continue training my dog. I’ve learned an excellent strategy on the leash. I’m learning to effectively use treats. And most important I’m learning how to break down a protocol – like “place” so I can teach it one step at a time to my dog.

Dog Training Graduation
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.

Mufasa Dog Photo
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 😉

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
corgi freestyle
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
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.
Mollie N. with Sam

We are really excited that Doggie Academy is so close to our home and excited to have a well-trained puppy/dog!

Doodle Puppy
Amanda was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and incredibly patient and kind. She made learning fun and easy. Amanda was also highly responsive to emails and just overall a pleasure to have worked with.
