They are amazing. My little rescue, Bruno, learned so much at the Academy.
Expert and friendly staff that give you the tools for a happy and well-trained dog. I highly recommend and am continuing with advance training there!

We are so thankful to Academy Dog Training. We rescued a very difficult, high energy adult dog and have had a very difficult transition. We really did not know how to handle all of our dog’s behavioral issues and were very overwhelmed when we went for our initial consult. I’m so happy we chose to do the training program with them. It made such a difference in us and in our dog. Most importantly, though, they supported and helped us through all of our dog’s issues. I’m not sure what we would have done without them.
I love Academy Dog Training. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. They have turned Bruno, my 3 year old rescue pit, into a perfect gentleman. My only regret is that I didn't use them for all my dogs.
