Wow! That’s all we can say! In just a handle of weeks/training our 5 month old puppy is learning so much and doing so well! We have a very energetic, physically and mentally strong Golden-doodle. She is truly the best puppy, but, admittedly, she was a handful. Turk and Ron (our main trainer) have been AMAZING. Turk explained training to us in a way we never thought about it, training our puppy is really training us. Ron, has given us manageable task to implement with our puppy to give her the best environment to thrive and win. If you’re looking for a place, do yourself and work with them.

Summer, my golden retriever and I, both learned a lot from our trainer, Ron. We know that if we need more help, it’s there for the asking. I’m so glad we chose Dog Owners Academy!

Eclipse returned from 10 days of auto-pilot training and the difference we have seen is amazing! The wonderful trainers at Dog Owners Academy will continue to work with us as we learn what Eclipse learned and build the trust and relationship with him more over the upcoming weeks.
I don’t feel like he’s gonna hurt me during walks now by pulling so hard or chasing another animal. I feel so much safer and comfortable.
If your looking for or considering training your pup - young or old - check out Dog Owners Academy. They already feel like part of our family and Eclipse was so happy and well taken care of. You can tell when people love animals and they really do!
