Dog Academy of NC, LLC

A little over a month ago, I adopted a 9 month german shepherd who had a lot of trauma with a family with 7 kids and no rules. She was wild and used biting as communication. Michael and his wife Sandra have helped me in ways that are immeasurable. They took her for 3 weeks, in which Micheal and his team trained her in a boarding program. They helped me understand how to handle a powerful dog in her circumstance and how to handle my own feelings in the process. There are not enough stars for this company. Simply put, Micheal is the best and he saved my relationship with my adopted dog and made it possible for us to flourish.

Was a great and eye opening experience for my girlfriend and myself. Taught me a lot about myself not only the dog. I'd say Michael trains you just as much as your dog. We have a Yorkie puppy and she was in need of basic obedience training. She wasn't bad before. We just had to learn how to properly coach her I'd say. My favorite part was he used a correctional device paired with your affection. With a balance of the two I find it much better than having to keep treats on you with your every move. Learned a-lot and about to board her here for our upcoming trip. ( A perk after training). I looked over the reviews and can say many of them are misleading. Glad I overlooked them and met with Michael! I wanted to include a post training of Peach demonstrating the "place" command lol!

I can’t say it enough how amazing this place is!! We are first time dog owners and getting our doggo from here was the best decision ever. It’s only been a little over a month. Our pup was practically trained for us. We never have any problem and he does so well. Touching his paws when cleaning him upon entering the house, it makes me especially happy that his crate is his safe space and sleeps there all through the night without having to lock it. We did exactly as they told us and he only chews on his toys, loves car rides and doesn’t mind other animals, children and social/crowded places. I would definitely recommend getting your puppy here!
