Art of the Dog Canine Academy

THE MIRACLE WORKERS! My sister and I went through three different dog trainers and spent thousands of dollars trying to train our two-year-old Cavapoo, Buddy. He grew larger than expected for his breed and was extremely difficult to manage. He constantly pulled on the leash, causing me back pain and making walks stressful instead of enjoyable. He barked incessantly and ignored most of our commands. A friend recommended Art of the Dog, and my sister and I decided to give their board-and-train program a try. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made—they performed a miracle! Buddy’s trainer, Kyle, was absolutely amazing, and Marco was fantastic as well. The transformation has been incredible. Our once out-of-control dog is now the perfect companion. No more leash pulling, frantic barking when the doorbell rings, or excessive barking at guests. He now sits, lies down, and stays on his bed when instructed. The team at Art of the Dog gave us the tools and support needed to help Buddy become a well-mannered, happy dog. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication exceeded all of our expectations. Art of the Dog is, without a doubt, the best dog training program in the state. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a loving, obedient, and well-behaved companion for life. Thank you, Art of the Dog—you truly changed Buddy’s life, and ours! 🐾

Life changing! Art of the Dog is truly the Best of the Best. My dog, Pug, is a 100 pound lab mix who struggled with reactive behaviors. He struggled with fence jumping, lunging on walks and barking at anyone who walked by. He was hard to walk. We love him very much but did not know what to do. My heart broke one day when I heard my neighbors say, "That is a mean dog." He is not a mean dog, he is a great dog who needed help. I found Art of the Dog and I am so thankful. When he left, I cried. I worried about him. Art of the Dog, sent daily text messages, pictures and videos. I was included in his daily training. Isaih was his main trainer and I could not have picked a better person. He loved Pug. Pug came home with confidence. He is the same silly dog, but he is now able to relax, sit outside, go on walks without reacting. He does not pull, growl or jump the fence. The Art of the Dog continues to check in with us, provide skills to practice at home. I would recommend Art of the Dog a million times!

Our 5-year-old dog, Lea, had a wonderful experience at Art of the Dog Training Academy. While we were hesitant to leave her for three weeks, but the timing worked out perfectly since we were leaving on an extended trip, and we knew that it was a great time for her to focus on some changes. Throughout her stay, the team at Art of the Dog provided daily check-ins with video clips showing what she was learning, along with updates on her behavior and overall health. They also shared training videos that matched each lesson, so we knew exactly how to reinforce her training once she came home. The results have been remarkable! Lea now remains calm and resists reacting to nearly everything that used to trigger her, whether it's squirrels, birds or other dogs passing by. The difference in her self-control has been amazing to see. The staff also took excellent care of her when she experienced an upset stomach early in her stay, and quickly got her back to normal. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we always felt informed and confident that Lea was in great hands. We highly recommend Art of the Dog Training Academy to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and highly effective dog training. It was a great investment in both Lea's well-being and our peace of mind.

Absolutely Life-Changing for Us and Sunny! We brought Sunny to Art of the Dog when he 6 months old and the transformation has been nothing short of incredible. Before training, our walks were miserable - Sunny was constantly pulling on the leash, and it was a daily struggle. Today, walks are an absolute joy! He is no longer distracted by everything around him, auto-sits, accepts easy corrections, and walks beautifully by our side. Inside the house, the “bed” command has made our home completely stress-free. Having his bed designated as his place means he knows exactly where to go, allowing him to greet visitors without any of the old stress or chaos. Art of the Dog didn't just train Sunny; they gave us the training tools and confidence we need to take into the future. We are so grateful for this experience and are really looking forward to their continued follow-up and support.

Isiah and the entire team have been so amazing to my boy, Cosmo! The dog who came home after 3 weeks was incredible! And the follow-up care (Cosmo has been home over a month now) has been so loving. They really care how my boy is doing, and we had a great visit today with Isiah!!! I tell all my friends with crazy dogs that there is hope, and Art of the Dog is a life-changer for humans AND our dogs!!
