The team at this facility is amazing! Everyone is so friendly and incredibly helpful. We had our puppy trained here and they were so patient with her and did a great job tailoring their training techniques for her age and personality! They also make sure that we were informed and comfortable with the way we were supposed to be training her when not in our training sessions, and it has made a huge difference!! Our dog has come a long, long way since when we first adopted her, thanks to the folks at Academy. Special shoutout to Joanna who did such a great job with our pup!
My dog was leash aggressive, unfocused and knew zero commands. The team was amazing. Special shout out to Marshall. But the whole team of trainers are amazing. I’m so proud of how far my dog has come. You will be too!
They are so nice and treats you good
When we started dog training with our dog girl she didn’t even know sit and was super aggressive towards other dogs. A couple month later, she can do sit, down, stay, bring etc. and she finally doesn’t try to eat the neighbor’s dog anymore. We are very pleased with the outcome. Staff is extremely nice and helpful and we always felt welcome and understood. Great experience! Absolutely recommend!
