FirstBarkJason sold me a dog chew so good that my dog turned down a walk because he didn’t want to leave it. Awesome human selling awesome dog treats with the world’s friendliest shop cat to pet while you’re there. Doesn’t get better.

We’ve been really happy with our private lesson + group class package with Jason. Our dog Lady adores him and has a blast. What sold us on the Academy was the ability to drop into group classes, even after she “graduated.” I have no doubt that this will be useful for refreshers for both of us in the future!

SUCH a treasure for high intensity dogs. My Doberman German Shepherd Husky Lab mix needed something much more than the local trainers offered. They did well with him, but his ability to stay on task with them was lacking. We did Doggie Boot Camp for three weeks, every day, all day, and he started from ground zero and went to a 10 minute down - stay at 50 yards (with me, not the trainers) by week 8 (follow up classes). Academy and the amazing team there were a life saver for us, and for anyone who has one of those breeds that you NEED to have perfect training for.
Trained our Irish wolfhound here. This is an excellent facility if you want your dog to be well behaved. We also board our dog which is an option after theyve done some initial training. Will continue to keep going back!
Great training and great people!!
