Art of the Dog Canine Academy

Where to even start with this beautiful place. My dog Brock did this School a couple months ago. He is so well behaved. He did this program and came out like a gentleman. We were having issues with rough play with both dogs. Brock has done amazing with listening on command with rough play. Our Brock being a pitbull people like to judge right away. We wanted to make sure he had the right training and was well behaved around friends, family and outdoors. The staff was amazing every single person we had contact with. Receiving pictures of our dog and training was by far too cute. We just wanna give thanks to everyone at Art of the Dog. Brock also thanks you.

Art of the Dog completely blew me away. From start to finish, their communication was top-notch, and the results have been incredible. They gave me and my dog, Dolly, a solid foundation to build on and helped us communicate better. She came home noticeably calmer and happier, and I could tell she really bonded with the team. They were thorough, thoughtful, and kept me in the loop with regular updates, photos, and texts. You can tell they genuinely love dogs, it never felt like a business transaction, more like joining a community of people who truly empathize with whatever your challenges are. Now our walks are smooth and enjoyable, her recall is strong, and she listens when I ask her to stay on her bed. For anyone considering training, especially if you’ve got a high-energy working dog like mine (she’s a two-year-old Blue Heeler), I can’t recommend them enough. They gave me the tools and confidence to have a better relationship with her, and I’m so grateful for everything they did!!!

Absolutely loved the training here! Parras was 1-1 with our dog for most of her 3 week board and train! He did an awesome job and kept us in the loop nearly every day with photos (sometimes videos!!) and detailed descriptions of how their day went. They send silly photos of your dog dressed up, and they'll even celebrate their birthdays and/or gotcha days 🥹😭💙 I had no idea, and was EXTREMELY surprised and happy to see her be celebrated during her stay. Our dog was reactive towards other dogs, strangers (epecially men), and anything that went by her "too fast" (runners, bikers, etc). After she completed her training, she's much less reactive and we've had more freedom to take her on walks and hikes - she's more focused during her trips and normally doesn't mind the things that used to trigger her - even when doing hikes with another dog!! 😊 We're absolutely pleased with how much progress she's made, and we're so excited to continue to reinforce her good behavior with lots of treats and more trips 💙🥹 The facility was clean and organized. I got to see some of the training they offered in action, and they did a great job keeping everything safe. Each dog was obviously cared for and given its own unique schedule with room for 1-1s with their personal trainers 😊 Our dog has separation anxiety, so when she inevitably got the runs, they were on top of keeping her healthy and she bounced back quickly! 👍Because of her separation anxiety, she ended up rubbing her nose against her crate a lot at night, and AotD caught it right away and helped her nose to heal faster. Post-training, Parras + AotD got us up to speed with her comfort level and new abilities, we did some tests to see if we (as her owners) were prepared and able to continue her training, and were given loads of resources and reassurance. I'd absolutely continue taking my dog here for further training. I enjoy knowing that when I board her to go out of state, she gets a refresher on all her training, and will be 100% cared for in my absence. I've had to do this a few times now, and it gives me peace of mind 🥳 The prices may seem expensive, but it is definitely worth the price. The level and quality of care is fantastic, and I don't see how any other facility can compare 🤭 Thank you AotD!! Y'all rock!!

We sent our Beagle mix, Kenny, to Art of the Dog for their three-week boarding and training program, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, the trainers took the time to get to know him and understand what he needed. Kenny came to them as a sweet but anxious young dog who sometimes struggled with how to handle new situations. The team gave him structure, consistency, and confidence, and they helped us learn how to keep that going at home. When he came back, he was calmer, more focused, and clearly proud of himself. The follow-up support and communication have been excellent, and it’s obvious that everyone there truly loves dogs and cares about helping them succeed. We’re really grateful for what they’ve done for Kenny and highly recommend Art of the Dog to anyone considering training.
