FirstBarkWe completed the reactive dog training course with Anna, and she was amazing! We’ve seen such a huge difference in our dog since starting this, and learned so much about how we can do better to help him learn. Anna went above and beyond to help us get the most from each visit. Highly recommend!

After reading all the other reviews I was convinced that this was the place I wanted to take our puppy and all our expectations were met. We are thrilled with the work that Violet and the other staff did with our sweet pit bull puppy, Tanner. Tanner found us during the aftermath of Helene and he had some habits that needed to be corrected. It was sad because he wanted to please us so much but we didn't know how to teach him what to do. After the 21 day obedience training his problem behaviors are corrected and Tanner is now the dog that receives praises from people for being so well behaved on our walks. Tanner and I still work to continue his training with the great start Asheville Dog Academy gave him and the instruction I received to continue his training. Chris Valdes is a professional who knows dogs (and dog owners) and there were no surprises for us about what ADA would do. We are lucky to have them in this area and I highly recommend them!
