Highly recommend!! Staff friendly & knowledgeable. They have trained our dog, work with us until we understand, & have even taught my 10 yr old boys training techniques that work. 😀

No question,, Just wondering why your still in business due to how you mistreat animals. All you people that work at this place should be jailed.
I been using them for a month, I think they are great. Why do you think they mistreat the dogs is my concern?
Community answer · Sarah Webb · 2020-09-21
I've been using sit and stay since I got my first service dog through them for my son with cerebral palsy to walk with. Also another dog and then finally training the aggressiveness out of our Rottweiler. Every one I've sent loves the place. Why do you think or know they abused animals
Community answer · Jeff Sterns · 2020-09-21

What’s the explanation of the video going around of the dogs being abused and neglected under the care of the employees here?
Good morning, The video you are seeing was staged over 2 years ago by PETA. We were just as appalled as everyone when we first saw it. We hired a private investigator to investigate our company and invited animal services out. Nothing was found. The PETA informant who staged the video is currently being sued by Petsmart for staging cruelty for hamsters, gerbils, and parakeets. The video does not represent our company or what we do. Thank you for your concern, Inghram's Sit N Stay Dog Academy

My dog Maximus, spent 8 weeks there as a pup and goes back regularly for stays. No problems. I was told about the video when we went for the interview. Was told it was a person with an axe to grind. My neighbor also had their dogs trained and boarded there as well.

You abuse dogs?
Inhghrams is the best dog trading school in Tampa. We have had tremendous treatment from all the staff.
Community answer · Joe Boisvert · 2018-09-21
I have 2 miniature dachshunds who have NOT been abused during Daycare nor boarding. I have not witnessed any type of abuse in my 2.5 years of being a client of Sit N Stay.

I highly recommend Ingrams Sit and Stay Academy! We took our reactive dog, Kobe, to their facility and wish we had done it sooner. From the first session, Shalli was amazing! She showed a deep understanding of canine behavior, particularly regarding reactive dogs. She took the time to evaluated Kobe’s triggers and customized her approach to meet his specific needs. She was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and compassionate, which made all the difference for us. Definitely give them a call for a free consult.

Got tired of having to explain to my neighbors that I wasn't abusing my dog, I was just doing what I was taught by this training academy. Spent money on the board and train with the goal of having my dog as a service dog for my PTSD. Not worth the money at all and I deeply regret training my dog this way when we had far more progress after we left. I came back after task training her myself so I could at least do the service dog outings, but even then I wouldn't recommend this place. After researching dog behavior and looking at the veterinary association's advice regarding training, there is so much research against this type of training it's overwhelming. Don't get sucked in.
