We love Crate Escape Training Academy! Our pup completed puppy academy, level 1 and level 2 academies and has grown into a well socialized and mostly obedient dog thanks to Melissa, Lindsay, and Natalie! He loves going to school and we love the constant communication and updates! We receive pictures and videos each day he attends, as well as report cards and feedback about what to work on at home. The advice and guidance of the trainers as has been so valuable to us.

I love, love, love Crate Escape Training Academy! I have enrolled my two, very opposite pups and have seen amazing progress. They helped my shy, nervous boy become more trusting and confident in himself and his surroundings. Then, on the other hand, they have provided much needed structure for my crazy, extraverted girl! My pups are always excited when we pull up to the door and I know that they are in the best hands when I drop them off. I cannot recommend this amazing team and program enough to anyone considering training for their dogs!

Crate Escape Training Academy is the best thing that’s happened for my dogs! I have a dog who used to bark and lunge at strangers, wouldn’t stop barking in a crate, and generally caused mayhem. Crate Escape Training Academy helped my dog learn impulse control and how to accept, tolerate, and approach strangers, and settle quietly in a crate. I have another dog who was terrified of skateboards, dark stair cases, and loud noises such as a vacuum. Crate Escape Training Academy gave her the confidence she needs to face these “scary” situations, and my pup has never been happier. Finally, my third dog used to demand bark a lot, and Crate Escape Training Academy helped her learn to settle down and stay quiet. I’m really grateful to them for all their help. I recommend them 110% to anyone looking to help their dogs with their behaviors. They’ve been a life saver and a game changer, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience with them

I would give them a million stars if I could. Melissa, Natalie and Lindsey are all phenomenal. They took my stranger aggressive, shut down dog and gave her a new life. I have never seen her love anyone as much as she loves the crate escape training team. They do not follow a one size fits all approach to training and tailor their methods to what will work best for you and your dog (including putting them in real life situations versus training in a bubble). Their communication is stellar and they work to train the owners as much as the dogs, setting everyone up for success.
