The foundation Epic Dog Academy has set for our puppy during training, we could not be happier. We have an American Bully. We struggled to walk our puppy prior to taking him to training. After his training program, walking him felt like night and day and we could not be happier. We continue to do the training with the commands they taught us and he's getting better by the day as he can be stubborn. We appreciate the staff who are able to answer all of our questions as well as our pup's trainer as well. We also did grooming with them and were very pleased with their services. We recommend Epic Dog Academy who is interested in taking their dog for training or grooming services.

Business response

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how much progress Dobby has made and that walking him now feels like a whole new experience. It means the world to us that you’re continuing the training at home—consistency is key, especially with a strong-willed pup! We're also glad you had a great experience with our grooming team. Your recommendation truly means a lot, and we’re here anytime you or your pup need us. 🐾💪 —The Epic Dog Academy Team

5/5

Epic Dog Academy has been such a great company to work with. They had to keep my dog a little bit longer to ensure that he came home with the ability to follow all of the commands consistently. They send updates through their app so you still feel connected to your furbaby. Such a professional group of people and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a little extra help training their dog.

Business response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Desiree! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Epic Dog Academy and that you found our communication through the app helpful. Ensuring your dog has the ability to follow commands consistently is our top priority. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad to have been able to support you and your furbaby.

We had our dog named Scooby, he is a boxer, at Epic for 2 weeks and his trainer was Erin. She was the best. He fell in love with her and she was the best at training him. She took the time with him and when he left the academy he knew all his commands and working with him at home he is doing really good. She came to the house last evening as a follow up and instantly he knew who she was. She really was the best trainer for him and she did a terrific job training him. She was GREAT!!!!!

Business response

Thank you for sharing your experience with Scooby's training! We're thrilled to hear that Erin made such a positive impact on both him and you.
