Just had my first behavioral assessment/training with Gus and it was so informative! My 5 year old Pittie has gotten very reactive lately and he handled it like a pro and showed me new skills to try with her and it was crazy to see the difference in her while he was working with her. I’ve never seen her so responsive and obedient. He also gave me a new collar to try on her, instead of the pinch collar I was (improperly) using. Can’t wait for our next session, to keep working with my dog, and see how she progresses. Highly recommend this place, they know what they’re doing.

We first found this place when our son adopted his dog from our cousin who trained with these folks. We attended some start up training for ourselves as we had never owned Shepherds before. We have owned several other breeds and the training we were doing wasn't working with this particular dog who seemed to have zero bad habits but as we adjusted to new life with him unwanted behaviors started in. We decided to go make the drive to Mount Vernon where he first had his training. After a few weeks our son joined us and Charlie and Jenn have gone above and beyond to make sure we have the correct equipment and often times giving "Free" lessons and their time! I did feel it was too good to be true until two years into our new life, We chose to begin looking for our own German Shepherd and companion to our son's dog. Both Jenn & Charlie devoted their time and were amazingly flexible often times seeing us last minute. They loaned us so much, Crates, collars, you name it to make sure the new guy was going to be a good fit and worked consistently to ensure the dogs were introduced in a proper way and would get along. Both Jenn & Charlie continue to serve us & our dogs very well. I still believe we owe them much more than they could ever owe us. All this happened while Jenn managed to open her new facility to the community. What a fun and positive experience for us and we look forward to our visits at Rocket Dog Academy and do not mind the 45 minute drive to do so and it continues to be too good to be true but is the real deal!
