Don’t expect to easily obtain a fair refund from this dog training business even if you follow their “refund policy”. I paid $1795 up front for 10 sessions. Unfortunately, after the initial training session, I had stop the training and request a refund of $1795 minus the cost of the one session $179. I finally received a refund of just $1300 and immediately contacted Dog Academy. After many phone calls and emails I was told the first session is not actually a training session, but a meeting for the trainer to gather information, observe, evaluate, etc. AND therefore the cost is $495 of the total cost of $1795! So my refund Is $1300. What? At no time was this mentioned nor is it found in their literature. My first session with their trainer was a training session! Charging $495 for the first session, whether it’s training or not, is impossible to justify. Dog Academy’s so called refund policy is grossly unfair and should be modified. It also needs to be accurately reported to prospective clients
I received one call and I called back twice on two different days. Right now I am not pleased No follow up for a trainer.
I liked the personal contact that we received with the personnel in the Academy. They took the time to talk with me to explain the ins and outs of the training programs. Lucy (our puppy) is looking forward to her training programs. She is quite smart.
Our 20 month old needed a refresher on boundaries and to correct (and assess) an underlying issue with reactive behaviors. While she's not aggressive, she becomes distracted and her new trainer Joanna was spot on with direction. By the next day, our girl was less reactive and easier to calm. I highly recommend The Dog Academy! PS I was worried about online training but it really works!!
