Bakers Acres K9 Academy

Can't say enough GREAT things about Sara and Bakers Acres K9 Academy! We initially started our puppy training journey with a different dog training team in Utah County. They promised many things, but sadly failed to deliver. With the amount of money you invest in dog training, you had better at least get what you pay for! Anyway, we were getting desperate for some help and called Sara. We signed up for her private-in home lessons and we were NOT disappointed! From day one Sara had a plan in place and knew what best to teach us. (She is about teaching YOU how to train your dog, not just 'Sara trains our dog and walks away and we have no idea what to do'.) Sara was even great to spend time with our kids, helping them learn how to handle our puppy. Having just finished all of our classes, we can honestly say that we are completely satisfied and that we already have an amazingly obedient 5 month old puppy. It CAN be done people!!! Don't look around, don't ask your neighbors, and don't check Facebook, DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME! Call Sara today! Right now. Go. ;)

Sara has helped us get our puppy through his "rebellious adolescent" stage. Where he had been so frustrating he now will listen to us, even if he still has to think about it for a bit. She completely helped to correct our rebel's course and saved the relationship. Sara personalized our training to meet his specific needs, taught us how to help him, and worked with our schedule to help make it happen.

Sara was very accommodating with my situation and patient with all my questions. She really knows her stuff and I would recommend her to work with any dog. She helped me figure out the best way to deal with a "spirited" dog who has discovered some pet bunnies in a chain-link fence enclosure -- he was starting to get destructive and pull on the fence (not good for his teeth OR the fence, LOL). I felt like Sara really took the time to understand our situation and gave us a few different options to choose from, of which a couple of them would cost us less (meaning less money we'd be paying her) -- I thought that was very admirable and I appreciated her honesty. Sara Baker is AWESOME! ;-)

Sara has been excellent to work with. We have a 9 month old "double doodle". He has plenty of puppy energy and very intelligent. There is always a lot going on with 5 children in the home and often with their friends in the mix as well. We hired Sara for a two week board and train and now I trust Eddie to place on a mat and wait till asked to come off the mat regardless of the kids going crazy, toys being thrown around or even food in the room. He, Eddie, has excellent trained control to know his place and still be such a fun and loving dog (but when invited). Sara was great at sending photo and video updates while we were gone and had Eddie boarded. I highly recommend and will continue to use Sara to make dog ownership with kids a pleasure. Thank you Sara.

One of the most phenomenal people I've met. You can find professional dog trainers anywhere. But finding one with integrity, honesty and authenticity is rare. Sara is amazing! We came to BAK9 because our german shepherd was biting other dogs. When I called on the phone Sara spent over an hour with me talking about my dog, myself and the home situation. I felt like I was LISTENED to and that's why we went in for an evaluation. We left our dog at BAK9 for 2 weeks. I was updated consistently with pictures, videos and was able to visit once. My dog returned with a good solid foundation to overcoming her problems as long as I maintain and work with her at home. Not only did Sara do amazing with our board and train....but she coached me about training my boxer at home who had misbehavior issues that were dangerous. She could have told me that my boxer needed to come in for a board and train as well (and I probably would have paid). But she saw my excitement and passion to do it myself and encouraged me to learn this new skill. If you want a place to train or board your dog there are lots of options out there. If you care about integrity, honesty and authenticity in a business....this is the place to go!
