5/5

The staff members that I have met are knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. The training is geared to our needs versus a standard curriculum. The group sessions provide an opportunity for the dog and owner teams to interact with each other.

Business response

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🐾 We are so happy to hear that you've had such a pleasant experience with our team. We truly believe that training should be tailored to each dog’s personality and their owner’s needs rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. It’s also great to know you’re enjoying the group sessions! We love seeing our dog and owner teams interact, it's a fantastic way to practice real-life skills in a fun environment. Thank you for being part of our academy family! Looking forward to seeing you in our next lesson. Uncle Turk & Dog Owner’s Academy Team 🐾 Be the owner your dog deserves™

We had a wonderful session with Amya. Zoey is fine tuning place command with 3rd person in the mix. Amya shared some tips for come command which are spot on. She also suggested tips for breaking the fear for the car crate which we will be working on in the coming week. Looking forward to the next session already.

Business response

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🐾 We always say that training is a team effort between the dog and their human, and we're so glad you're enjoying the process. It's a privilege to have Zoey in our care and to see her in the 'best hands'! We love having you as part of our academy family. Looking forward to seeing you in a group lesson or a doggy social soon.

Amya is amazing, we’ve learned so much about Lola and how to train her, how to teach her manners and teach her good behavior. This has changed our life with our dog and we can’t be more thankful.

Business response

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! 🐾 We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much Lola has learned about manners and good behavior. Knowing that our training program with Amya has changed your life with your dog is the greatest compliment our team could ever receive! We are so thankful to have you and Lola in our academy family.
