Art of the Dog Canine Academy

Big shout out to the Art Of The dog staff, especially the trainers that we worked with CJ and Will, they were incredible. We took our pup, Cinny to AOD for the three week behavioral program and we were very impressed by the progress made. Cinny was fearful and aggressive when we adopted her with an unknown past. We were very overwhelmed, but immediately at ease once we met with Ian and learned more about their program and that we weren’t alone in our situation. Throughout the program, the AOD staff was extremely communicative and put us at ease. We were thrilled to see the improvements Cinny had made in such a short time. We also leverage AOD for their boarding and We wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else.

Truly have no words with how much our pup has changed, in the most positive way. Zep was super anxious & had become aggressive with other dogs. After 3 weeks with Art of the Dog he is a new pup. He’s calm and we can take him on walks with zero stress. Melanie, Sami, & CJ did an incredible job with our pup and we couldn’t be happier. We would 100% recommend them. Every part of the process was smooth & communication was clear. Thank you for all the work put into Zeppelin.

We just finished a three-week training program with our 18-month-old adopted Doberman and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the initial consult, the team took the time to answer all of our questions and really understand our goals. We also appreciated the continued communication and support from everyone throughout the process. Adonis was always a good boy, but this training has made everyday life so much easier and more enjoyable. Walks are now calm and relaxed, he’s responsive on the leash, and he cues into us instead of reacting to everything around him. One of the biggest improvements has been when people come over. We used to worry because he felt the need to protect us, but now he can calmly greet friends and guests like the sweet, well-mannered boy he is. We’re so grateful for this experience and would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to build a stronger bond and enjoy life more with their dog.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. The intake process was extremely thorough and comforting, with very clear instruction on how the process would go and what we would learn a long way. They sent videos and instructions and updates five times a week and answered all of our questions along the way. We just took her on our first two walks at home and the tools have been incredible. I’ve never had such a magical walk with my dog. Bikers and dogs went by and she didn’t fixate, lunge, or bite and it was glorious. No pulling, lunging. Nothing. Totally obedient. Sat every time I stopped and walked every time I said heel. I actually enjoy walks with my dog again and feel in command for the first time since we got her three years ago. I’m so excited to use the new tools and continue to reinforce them. The after care has been amazing too, constantly giving new tips and advice as we need it. Endless 1:1s for life if you need it, best in class customer care. Clearly the trainers love dogs and understand how to train them. We feared we’d have to put our dog down or give her to another home. Now we have a constructive path forward.
