FirstBarkI’ve had a few dogs trained over the years. But none of them to the caliber that Dogsense has done. Cedric’s attention to detail when it comes to reading a dog is second to none and Calvin’s willingness to cater to his clients is something I admire. Great work and we will be using them again!!

I brought my dog Chloe, a rambunctious Golden Doodle, to DogSense Training Academy — and I’m so thankful I did. Before training, Chloe was full of energy with absolutely no impulse control. She was constantly jumping on people, counter-surfing, running wild around the house, and even knocking over our kids. It was overwhelming and made everyday life stressful. After sending her to DogSense Training Academy, it’s been a complete night-and-day difference. Chloe is now calm, well-mannered, and able to live peacefully in our home — especially around our children. The chaos is gone, and we’re finally living in harmony!!!
Great guy

Now the one thing I didn’t like about this company is that they weren’t around when I had my first dog😅. If they had been, things would’ve gone a lot smoother back then. Other than that, from day one, they treated my pup like their own and just as importantly, they made sure I felt confident, supported, and educated every step of the way cause I was really going through it. They didn’t just train my dog, they taught me how to maintain that progress at home. You can tell they genuinely care and not just about obedience, but about building a bond between you and your dog that lasts beyond the sessions honestly he just feels like a new dog. If you’re looking for a team that blends professionalism with true heart, this is it. You’re going to think about this post and be like dang she was right😂
