In late October I got a New GSP Puppy. He was 4 months old. I have owned dogs in the past and have worked with several different trainers, actually we worked with Turk with a different dog and company. I did some searching and followed some recommendations from a co worker which led us to Dog Owners Academy! We have had some great experiences with Dominic, and Castiel is doing so well. We work on our training every day and went on our first camping trip this weekend. He was such a well behaved boy. I always want my dogs to truly be a part of my family and go with us whenever they can. With Dog owners Academy that is just what can happen with you and your dogs. Call today and schedule a free in home consultation, get to know one of the trainers and become part of the Dog owners Academy family as well.

We rescued a puppy and have a senior dog as well. We knew we needed help training our newest member of the family. We cannot express enough gratitude to Dom with Dog Owners Academy for helping us with simple solutions for issues in the house as well as helping us train our growing puppy to walk nicely and safely. We HIGHLY recommend Dog Owners Academy!

My husband and I recommend over and over again the Dog Owners Academy any dog owner we know! Dom is very professional and is a great communicator helping us better understand our dog and our role in their training and ongoing discipline. Our dog loves working with Dom and gets so excited to see him. We trust him and his team with any fur baby!

When we decided after a year or so of research to get a Cane Corso puppy, we knew that top notch training would be necessary. Not only did Dog Owner’s Academy meet our expectations but they totally exceeded them. Our ever growing energetic pup Apollo is a well behaved dog that understands and follows learned commands to him as well as us. With the option of “continued training/support/education” if need be, Dog Owner’s Academy is the way to go.

This team is amazing!! Between Dom, Ron and Turk they sure took great care of "My boy Blu"!!! He was a little rambunctious pup with tons of energy!! I need help with this boy!! They took him and came back a week later with an amazingly trained pup. He was still a pup and I had lots to learn, it's not just about the dog... us humans need to do the work too. Which I continue to learn . Their program is amazing and it's lifetime, so when I need help they are always there!! I feel so lucky that they were recommended to me.
