Crossbones Dog Academy

Crossbones Dog Academy has been absolutely amazing for my puppy, Theo! We enrolled him in their Puppy Day School program, and from the very first day, it was clear how much he loved it. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each dog’s progress and happiness. Theo came home tired, happy, and more confident after every session. We saw such great improvement in his manners, socialization, and overall behavior. The team made the training fun and engaging, and I always felt like Theo was in the best possible hands. And the Flex classes were so helpful@ I can’t recommend Crossbones enough for anyone looking for a positive, professional, and caring environment for their pup. Theo and I are both so grateful for the experience!

From Salem and Mark (Human Parents of Lucky the Whippet): Crossbones has been an absolute game-changer for us and our whippet, Lucky. Their training goes far beyond the basics—it’s about building a real relationship with your dog, understanding their unique personality, and creating a strong, positive foundation that lasts a lifetime. What truly sets Crossbones apart is the sense of community. Through group classes and shared experiences, we’ve not only watched Lucky grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog—we’ve also built lasting friendships with other dog-loving humans. Yes, training is an investment. But what we’ve gained—deeper bonds with our dog, a supportive network, and tools that continue to shape Lucky’s development—has made it more than worth it. We’re incredibly thankful for the strong start Crossbones gave us and excited for the years of learning and growing still ahead.

I can’t say enough good things about PJ and the amazing work she (and everyone at Crossbones!) did with my dog, Ziggy! Ziggy is full of energy and had a mind of his own when it came to walks and listening — but thanks to Crossbones training, we’ve seen incredible improvements. Loose leash walking was always a challenge, but now our walks are more relaxed. PJ took the time to understand Ziggy’s personality and worked with us both to create lasting changes. His listening skills have improved dramatically, and he's much more responsive — even around distractions! As a dog owner, I also learned extremely useful techniques that change everything. Crossbones is a fantastic place to take your dog. The environment is welcoming, professional, and clearly designed with dogs and their humans in mind. If you're looking for real results and a trainer who truly cares, PJ is the one. We’re so grateful for her guidance and can’t recommend her and Crossbones enough

Enrolling our pup to crossbones was the best investment we made. The team is very patient with us humans while we’re learning to train our pup! There’s so much I have learned from going to the training classes. I love the communication! Whenever I have a question they are quick to email me back with all the resources and information I need. We are currently about to enroll in private classes to help us train our dog for our upcoming newborn. Safe to say, I feel confident and never alone because we have crossbones by our side. I will forever be grateful for Kat, PJ, Dan, and the rest of the staff for helping me be a better dog parent.
