Clients Say…

Cooper Doggie Photo
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!

border collie agility
I recommend Doggie Academy to everyone I meet at the dog park with a high-energy dog. The training classes are really great for Archie, keeping his mind focused and tiring him out. We are really enjoying the new, larger space and the new seminar offerings.
Olivia T. with Archie
Bodhi Doggie Photo
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.

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!

Harley Doggie Photo
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. 🙂

wheaten terrier
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.
Carla T. with Teddy
mini aussie
Very enjoyable experience, helped us feel we were on the right track. It was good to go over everything we are doing with someone, and voice struggles we have with behavior. We also enjoyed learning from Lizzie and her pet, by seeing tricks, and also having her watch us with our dog. We also have to note that it was amazing to be able to set up an appointment so easily, and meet with someone so quickly online — this was an excellent feature, thank you!
Juliet K. with Callie
poodle
It is apparent there is a genuine love for what they do, as well as a love for each of their clients.
Anna Marie D. with Jameson
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.
Danielle D. with Madison Mae
Dog with trainer
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.
