Everyone was extremely friendly and you can tell they are passionate about what they do, The facility was extremely clean and well taken care of. I brought both my dogs Buster( Maltese) and Bella (Bishon Frise) in for a hair cut, shampoo, and had their nails checked/filed. Abby did an amazing job. She listened to everything I asked for and I could not be happier with the end results. I have gone to other places and they do what they want and make my dogs look stupid!! It got so bad that I started cutting them myself. I am so glad I gave Underdog Academy a shot. I will definitely go back no questions asked.
The dogs had a wonderful experience. The trainers did a great job and we saw immediate improvements. The training team did a review of what our dogs learned and also did a little human training as well. 😃 I'm looking forward to our dogs learning more!

So excited to share my experience with a great group of guys! Brownie our loveable foster fail needs a little help with leash walking, jumping and excessive barking. In the very short time Brownie has been under the care of Henry and Zach she has made huge improvements. If you are considering adopting a dog or saving one, I HIGHLY recommend you have the guys over at Underdog Academy take care of your new family member. Training is such a crucial part in owning a dog and this will stick with them their entire life. They also offer a lifetime guarantee so what have you got to lose?

My pup, (14) weeks old is on her second week of training here. She is so excited every time I drop her off. The staff here is very friendly and provide their expertise and guidance to help instill good dog behaviors. On Saturday, I was invited to a "hands-on" review of my dogs progress. I was impressed how well my pup responded to our commands. Walks on the leash have definitely improved. The academy itself, is very clean and organized, run by exceptional trainers. I will update later as we move forward.
