Clients Say…

Harley learned jumping and the tunnel. The most important lesson I want her to know is “come”… and I feel when we were doing the tunnel, she was also learning “come”. I can’t wait to see how far Harley can go with Agility. If she shows promise, I’d love to take her as far as she could go… Maybe even compete with her. 🙂

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.

Jamie is a high-energy trainer who motivated both me and my dog at every session. She and her mom were very involved in our progress; they make a wonderful, caring team.

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.

Doggie Academy has been great with helping my puppy socialize, and learning commands. The instructors show genuine concern and will always go above and beyond to help your dog succeed. I will continue taking courses in order to build up the foundation.

It was really good for Mowgli to be around dogs and lots of stimuli, but still practice sitting quietly and being patient. Of course, it was SO fun to have him do the obstacles as well and he seemed to pick them up quickly (though not necessarily execute them quickly haha).

Patrick is a really excellent teacher. He clearly cares a lot and is super friendly and helpful.

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.

When Sarah arrived for the lesson, I really appreciate that she took her time in talking to us and getting to the root of our problem with Auggie (he was nipping) and was never judgmental. We discussed the problem, what solutions would work, and then a plan of attack. She walked us through the cues, gave us tips, and showed us what to keep an eye on. After the lesson, she emailed a pdf with instructions for what we had talked about. We are keeping up the work with Auggie and seeing an improvemen… Read more
