Don't Waste Your Money
The Minimizing Separation Anxiety course was not worth the money. This course really won't give you any tips that you can't find on blogs for free.

We’re truly sorry to hear that the course did not meet your expectations, and we understand how disappointing that can feel—especially when you were hoping for meaningful support for your dog. Your experience matters to us, and we never want you to feel that your time or money was wasted. A member of our team will be reaching out to you directly to better understand your concerns and see how we can assist and make this right. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know and value the opportunity to improve.

Beware This place is a scam!
Unfortunately, I have had the worst experience with this company. I was sold that this was a dog academy with professional dog trainers. I was told my pup would be assigned a trainer with professionalism, with the idea that she would be developed. Unfortunately, my trainer was fired only after 2 sessions with her. It took the company almost a week to find a new trainer. The new trainer showed up, and I was so shocked at the level of unprofessionalism that was displayed in their appearance. After careful consideration I reached out to the company and expressed my experience, frustration, and dissatisfaction with what I have received while paying over $2K for this service. Their customer service was so terrible, I was offered a refund of only $300, and I am currently being forced to continue services with this company although I am extremely unhappy. I was supposed to have a session with my new trainer today, and the trainer canceled and wants to reschedule, but also runs their own business so I have to wait to see their schedule so I can see when me and my up can be fit into the schedule. It's absolutely ridiculous! There has been no consistency for my dog, which means she will not learn from this company. I have since used YouTube videos to help me with my pup, because I have had no consistency with this company. DO NOT ENROLL WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

Johnae — thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We want to apologize for how this situation made you feel, as we understand how important consistency and professionalism are when investing in training for your dog.
Regarding the change in trainers, after several attempts to realign the original trainer’s methods with Dog Academy standards and training philosophy, we ultimately had no choice but to separate from them. As soon as that decision was made, we immediately began the rematch process to minimize disruption to your program. We recognize that any change can be frustrating, and we are sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
The second trainer assigned to you is a 5-star trainer based on feedback from numerous clients and is known for a laid-back, approachable training style that many families prefer. Concerning appearance, while we understand that expectations may vary, our trainers are independent professionals and are not required to wear corporate-style uniforms. Professional conduct and training results are the standards we hold them to, rather than a specific dress code.
In regard to the refund, your request was outside of the standard refund window. Our refund policy clearly outlines what is and is not eligible and remains accessible on our website for transparency. With that said, due to the unfortunate circumstances involving the original trainer, we issued a $300 refund as a courtesy.
We are sorry that your experience did not align with your expectations and appreciate you sharing your concerns. Feedback like yours is reviewed internally so we can continue improving communication, trainer alignment, and the overall client experience.

customer service needs work
customer service needs work. Quickly wants to give me something to do. However, they seemed to want to rush me off phone, and really not to do their job
Response from DogAcademyJan 30, 2026
Joseph — thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your interaction felt rushed or unhelpful, as that is not the experience we aim to provide.
We also want to apologize for the need to rematch you with a new trainer. We were just as surprised as you to learn that the original trainer was relocating the following day, which unfortunately required a last-minute adjustment to your training plan.
We take concerns about customer service seriously, and feedback like yours is reviewed internally to ensure our team is delivering clear, thorough, and respectful support without making clients feel dismissed or hurried. Coaching and reinforcement are ongoing to make sure expectations are met consistently.
We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention, as it helps us continue improving our processes and client experience.

Progress after a 6 week absence due to family emergency
Dallas digressed due to me having to go to California for a family emergency. I was gone 6 weeks, so his progress had a setback. However, Brianna has met with us 2 times since my return January 9, 2026. Dallas is beginning to get some of the muscle memory back. We are doing another public outing Sunday, January 25. We'll see if he continues to regain what was lost.
Response from DogAcademyJan 23, 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Brianna has been able to support you and Dallas as you get back into training. Setbacks can happen, especially after time away, but it’s wonderful to hear he’s already regaining his muscle memory. We’re cheering you on for your upcoming public outing and continued progress 🐾
