Clickstart Dog Training Academy

We are so grateful to Clickstart Academy. When we brought home our sweet Loki it had been over 14 years since we had a puppy in the house. To say we weren't prepared for the puppy energy would be an understatement! But, Roma quickly put our minds at ease. She worked with us, helped us manage our expectations and taught us how to raise a confident puppy through positive reinforcement. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this training academy. After every Homework/ Coaching session we are sent detailed summaries, videos and photos on what was taught and worked on for that particular session. We absolutely love their training philosophy. They let your dog be a dog, but capture and reinforce the good behaviors you want to see in them. And the best part, they show you how to do it! Roma was always available to answers questions or concerns I had even in between sessions. I watched Loki, a ball of energy and anxiety, learn to settle and be calm in most situations. Today, I can walk my 75 lbs 8 mos old without worrying about being pulled, or being reactive to various stimuli, and its all because of Roma. She listens to your concerns and works to helps provide you with the best tools! I will recommend this academy and Roma to any dog owner wanting to raise a confident self-assured puppy!

If your recently adopted dog is reactive and have been searching for the a trainer, you can stop because you've found them. I wish I had started with their class first then do private lessons but I went the other way around. Trust me you'll save yourself A LOT of money and time. It is such a relief to be around other reactive pet owners also working on reactivity and asking the questions you forgot or were thinking also but too shy to ask. I also definitely recommend the add on the hybrid reactive if you can (online + in person). Well worth, it got us to see parts where we needed work. The online reactive rover course covered so much needed material in the class and at the end is just really nice to incorporate the lessons in a public setting with trainers around to help manage the environment. So worth it to practice and do more with the materials taught online. Bonus: join their well managed hiking sessions, the team has the environment managed and under control so you can just focus on the walk with your dog.

The clickstart team has been instrumental in helping us raise our puppy. The puppy homeschooling program with Alex taught us how to train and listen to our pup. Puppy kindergarten was awesome for socializing with others of similar age. And we continued private classes with Alex weekly to further strengthen our training regiment. They have the best resources, product suggestions and care about the success of your dog’s development.
