Archie came to the Academy with a few solid skills, but not much focus. He's a happy, excitable two-year-old who never met a stranger, so I wanted to walk a fine line between complete obedience and solid social and recall abilities. Anna helped us to form his behavior into a reliable set of skills that I can always count on. He's a smart pup who has only thrived more since being directed to use his intelligence to both our advantage. I'm very happy with the results and would -- and do -- highly recommend Asheville Dog Academy.

Anna was extremely knowledgeable, patient and compassionate. She absolutely understands dog behavior and psychology. She was very adept at understanding our dog’s personality and quirks. The curriculum was organized, sequential and built on skills week by week. Anna gave us the tools and taught us skills appropriate for managing our high energy and spirited dog. She is respectful, kind and committed to training owners and dogs to be the best they can be.

Anna was a phenomenal trainer. Duke started with extremely bad leash skills dog reactive and just uncontrollable. Anna worked with us so that I could walk him on a leash as well as walk him with other dogs. He also is completely trained to be off leash which was something we really wanted for our lifestyle. Could not recommend a better trainer or experience!

Anna was such a great trainer. With our dog Chase being about a year and a half old and a rescue we really wanted to learn how to get him out and about and to be comfortable in different situations. We could not have had a better trainer or experience at Asheville Dog Academy.

Rebecca was amazing. She helped with everything from my dog's reactivity to learning stay, place, and heel. Now she listens so well and walks calmly past other dogs. I'm super happy with how far she's come!
