Asheville Dog Academy

We are so pleased with our dog’s transformation! We have a 10 month old Springer Spaniel we sent for the 21 day training with Chris and his team and cannot thank them enough for everything they have taught him! Before training, Moose would pull on leash, become uncontrollable when excited or distracted by things, would not listen much, was reactive to cars, and would not come when called. Now Moose is easy to go on walks with, stays/lays down when commanded for as long as we’d like him to be and he comes when called every time. He is such a completely different dog in all of the best ways! Violet was his main trainer and we can tell all of the hard work and love she put into helping him understand commands and focusing on one thing at a time instead of being all over the place 24/7. We are so thankful for all of the dedication Violet and the entire team put into our dog to become who he is today!

We dropped Samual our 1 year old Vizsla off for the 3 week training program in early May and were amazed at the results. what a change! we are so much happier (as is Samuel) now that we have a pup that listens and understands. our walks are so much more enjoyable! Thanks to all who help with Samuel! Chris and team were awesome and delivered on the promise. Big shout out to Voilet and Anna for all your help! Look the 21 day program is not cheap nor should it be! the time and effort it takes to take a Pup like Samuel to the level he is at at the end of 21 days is huge!! I would do it again and again. The peace of mind that your beloved pet is listening and as a result safe in this world of ours is priceless in my book. If your on the fence as to what to do with your Dog, contact Asheville Dog Academy and talk to Chris. He is great and will listen to your concerns. He took on our questions one by one. We are so happy we made the decision to sign up for the 21 day program. You will be too!!

Life-Changing Experience - Reactive Dog Training Before working with Asheville Dog Academy, I felt completely defeated. I had exhausted every training method I could find—books, videos, YouTube tutorials—with little to no success. Walks had become a source of constant stress; I would sneak my dog outside at odd hours just to avoid the chance of running into another dog. I felt like I was doing everything I could, and still not giving my dog the life she deserved. Working with Rebecca has been nothing short of life-changing. From the very first session, it was clear that she is not only deeply knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly passionate about what she does. She was a pleasure to work with. Rebecca took the time to understand our specific challenges and goals, and tailored the training to suit our needs perfectly. The transformation in my dog’s behavior has been remarkable.  I now take my dog EVERYWHERE—on hikes, to the park, walks downtown, farmers markets, breweries. I never imagined we’d reach this point of confidence and freedom together! If you’re looking for a trainer who will truly make a difference, I highly recommend Asheville Dog Academy. This experience has exceeded every expectation, and I’m so grateful for the impact it’s had on our lives.
