Dogsport4u Academy

I chose two week dog boarding for my vizsla. He was kept in a clean, safe, and thermally-regulated area. By the end of the 2 weeks, he had learned the command "Come" really well. However, he was basically left in his cage all day long most days with only 3 or 4 breaks to eat and pee and no exercise or playtime (stated by Olga). My understanding was that he would receive training every day for $2800. Later I learned from her that he was only trained 3 days per week while the other days he was "trained" to walk outside and pee. Olga kept saying she was so knowledgeable about all dogs, but she had never had a vizsla before. I emphasized to her that I ran or walked my vizsla at least 3 miles a day otherwise he gets anxious and bored. She assured me that he will "get tired out psychologically" from training and will not need so much exercise with her. I also told her that as a one year old puppy he gets fed 3 meals a-day and she told me that was too much so I told her to increase the dosage of food to the same amount daily and to give him his daily vitamins that the breeder said he must have. When I came to pick him up he had lost 5 pounds out of 50 originally, had not had vitamins, and he was cringing in fear. He looked like he had been abused in the form of neglect. Many times during the 2 week interval I told Olga that I can stop by and take him for a one hour walk in the evenings so that at least he gets exercise but she refused and told me don't come. I learned that she did take him out for some long walks but it sounded like only a couple of times and definitely not daily. I learned that while he was there she had 2 other dogs boarding to take care of plus her own 2 dogs which she was preparing for a sporting competition event the next month. I noticed that there were no other trainers but herself. In addition I noticed that she had a thriving online retail business to follow and take care of and that whenever I texted her she answered me in 1 second, Which meant that she was not training the dogs. If you have a dog who is content to lay down in a cage all day long without doing any exercise or playtime then your dog will be fine with Olga. However, if your dog is active then it will be neglected if you leave your dog with her. In addition her method of training is with pain so she gives shocks and she puts choke collars on way too tightly.

I brought my 6 month old rescue, Nola, to Olga at Doggie Campus and it was life changing. I am a first-time dog mom and was extremely nervous. Olga not only took good care of my puppy, but did an incredible job teaching her essentials. Nola is very strong and stubborn. She now walks with me instead of dragging me. She was also trained to sit when I stop walking, to everyone’s amazement. Nola no longer barges into the house, but was taught to sit and wait. These are just some of the examples of the incredible work at Doggie Campus. Nola stayed at Doggie Campus for 2 weeks. Olga kept me informed daily as to the progress, and sent videos and pictures. Even after the program, Olga has been available to answer any questions and provide support. I’m looking forward to bringing Nola back for boarding and additional fine tuning of Nola’s training. I cannot thank Olga enough!! I fully recommend Doggie Campus to anyone who wants to get the most out of having a loving dog companion.
