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.

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!

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. 🙂

This was a great experience for me and Porter. Sarah is terrific. She is patient and clearly cares for each dog. She worked with each owner/dog and catered the skill to his/her ability.

online dog training
I was a little nervous about trying to do dog training via ZOOM, but was surprised at how well it worked. I had a full room-size view of Lizzie and her dog Phin and she could see me and Maya very well. It was also very helpful to see her working with her own dog.
Jane H. with Maya
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!
Heidi S. with Pork Chop
I loved it. We are still improving our communication but Doggie Academy has helped us make huge strides. Plus, Ted LOVES it!

Amanda is amazing! I emailed her before signing up for the class because Winnie is leash reactive. Amanda suggested we sit near the back or front door so we have a quick exit if Winnie needed a break and she did a great job making sure other owners kept their dog out of our space (and always gave them a friendly reminder when they wandered over near us). Her instructions were clear, she was funny, had high energy and made the class really enjoyable for all of us. She was somehow able to cater to… Read more
