FirstBarkI can’t say enough good things about Anna and the faculty at Asheville Dog Academy. Anna made the process easy and relaxed for me and my pup. She made sure instructions were clear and would make sure I understood how to continue to work my pup at home. I highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for a trainer to work with Anna!

Loved working with Rebecca! I started to see progress right after the very first session :)
We just completed our training at Asheville Dog Academy. Anna our trainer was amazing! She is so knowledgeable, tolerant, and her way of communicating is easy to understand and relatable. Astro is so happy to meet Anna and thanks her for making him such a good boy!!

We worked with Rebecca at Asheville Dog Academy. My dog had become aggressive towards people and other dogs. It was very worrisome. She trained us and him on how to deal with this issue. We went for five lessons and the difference was remarkable. He now walks beside me and follows commands to ignore others around us. She explained that he lacked confidence in me. He has that confidence now, through her guidance. I couldn’t have done it with her confident but gentle approach. And, my dog was always so happy to see her! Thank you!!
Rebecca has been an awesome trainer since the first time we met her with our English Cream Golden Retriever pup. She is professional, kind, knowledgeable on dogs and offers heartfelt guidance with our now 7 month old puppy. Rebecca has a true gift with animals and I always refer to her as our “dog whisperer.”
