Best Dog Training Academy

After reading a lot of excellent reviews, I chose Best Dog Training in Sherwood, OR. I had no idea how great it was going to be. I sent my dog who is a 1 year old midsize Labradoodle to board her and get some training for her. I love that it was is Board and Train and done at someone's home. Lucy was treated like one of their own, including playing with their children and spending some time in their home. She was there for two weeks and when he brought her home, she was a different dog in that she followed all the commands. He showed me what she had been taught and she was her happy self. I had one dog walker who had quit walking her for me because she couldn't control Lucy and it was affecting her shoulder. When Lucy came back from training, Corey came to my house to train me on how he had trained Lucy. He encouraged me to invite any friends over who were around her alot and in my case, walked her for me also. I had four different people walking her at different times and they were all very impressed at her progress and how well behaved she had become. She wasn't a bad girl before, she just had no manners and was a little out of control. She would pull and jump on other people when out for a walk when they wanted to say hello to her. When Corey brought her home, he showed me all the commands that he taught her and she did them great. He individually showed everyone (Who walked her for me) how to walk her and give her some commands that would apply to their walking her. Corey is going to check back in with me at home and see how we're doing With Lucy. He also said to call him anytime if I had any questions and gave me a printout of her commands and other information during the time he had her. He would send me photos and give me updates. After seeing the change in here, the lady who quit walking her, wanted to start walking her again. I highly recommend Best Dog Board and Train in Sherwood Oregon and Corey was awesome!

Whitney is truly the BEST!! We took Gus to her when he was a puppy to get a great foundation. When it was time for a tune up, as Gus had become reactive, we didn’t hesitate to return to Whitney. He was with her for two weeks of training and a week of boarding. When Gus returned home he was so responsive. He was much calmer towards strangers in public settings and towards people coming in and out of our home during our remodel. Whitney has also been AMAZING in training Gus’ people. She has taught our entire family how to continue his training. I feel confident with my children taking him on walks in the neighborhood or to play ball in the field. Gus responds well to their direction as well. We are so thankful for Whitney and the Best Dog Training Academy! I would highly recommend Whitney and her team!!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the training that I received from Whitney for my 2 1/2-year-old Shepherd. We needed tons of support around walks on the leash with other dogs, as Archie was hyper aroused. After learning skills and having Whitney walk me through various techniques, I can say that Archie and I now are able to walk past other dogs and enjoy hikes and walks on the trail. Thank you for building my confidence. My partner and I have a better quality of life and experience with our pup!

Truly remarkable! Not only did they teach an old dog new tricks, but provided us with video updates and progress reports for the duration of our boy’s stay! We loved seeing the developments while we were away from home! We were at our wits end and had nearly given up on training in general. We thought we had exhausted our options. From behavioral training to sit downs where we discussed exactly what commands to say to working on adherence etc. Between my wife and I, both tried different things, and both got nowhere. We ended up making things worse and not better. We were considering training camps when my wife came across their services. We elected to do a trial meet and greet session, and that quickly evolved into us deciding to board our dog with them for a week while away. We boarded our dog and Mrs. Martin took the initiative to work with and train our dog Jasper (9 years old). She took it upon herself to give extra attention and training. Which was a truly compassionate and generous gesture. He was introduced to a new training method and language. The training collar and stimulus made an astronomical difference. Jasper’s attentiveness and response to commands is on a different level. It’s hard to describe how amazed and grateful we are! Another blessing, the commands and structure is simple. Making adherence and maintaining easy. There isn’t a litany of things to remember. With a 1 1/2 year old at home, new parents, and easy to manage training regiment for our dog, reintroducing our family pet to our little one is already rewarding us. Prior to his stay, Jasper was showing signs of dominance and minor aggression towards our baby. We were really worried about the interactions between them, and felt horrible and torn between the two. We wanted desperately to give both a good home, and we’re at a point where we considered a better home for jasper would be one without us. We didn’t know how to manage his behavior or how to foster integrating our dog with our child. Neither of us wanted to have to give him up for our daughter or his sake. After this brief week long stay, already the difference in their interactions has removed any worry and doubt. I can honestly say I am grateful beyond words. I simply cannot recommend giving this training a shot. If you were like me, and believed you were at the end of the rope with behavioral training, and that nothing was working out, I urge you to give them a call, try out a few sessions, and give the training collar a go. It’s money well spent with a team who genuinely love dogs, and who work hard to get your furry family member on pace with a program that works. I wish I knew about them sooner, we would have been spared lots more money, and stress. 5 stars is still a few stars too short. I’m so incredibly thankful.
