FirstBarkAmya has been wonderful working with my 3 rescue dogs in our home ! I wish I had started working with her sooner. She quickly honed in on each dog’s personality and quirks and has adjusted lessons accordingly. I am amazed at the results we are already seeing and look forward to our lessons each week. I would definitely recommend !

The Dog Academy not only reaches expectations, but surpasses it by a long shot! The training approach is excellent. I highly recommend the board and train with the lifetime private and group lessons. It has been invaluable to me. The constant support and confidence building I receive has made all the difference in the world to my now tremendous relationship with my dog. I constantly receive compliments from strangers about the wonderful behavior of my dog. It makes me so proud. My trainer, Caelan, is incredible. She is tremendous. She explains everything with clarity and simplicity, easy for me to understand and follow through with. She is patient, kind, and excellent as a trainer. I could not be more satisfied with how the training is going. It is priceless. I would recommend The Dog Academy to anyone and I would highly recommend they request Caelan.
Thank you Mya! First lesson down many more to go!
Dog Owner's Academy was the best choice to retrain our newly adopted five year old Pitt mix. The in-home following-up visits guided us in how to work with a rescue. My husband and I have trained with Turk and Dom before and I wouldn't consider anyone else.
Another great session. This time with Amya. Blake has a new BFF. Dog Owners Academy great again!!
