The response time was excellent, and informative.

Love everything

I haven’t had any training yet but I would love to leave a big shoutout to Brittney. Me and my girlfriend spoke with Brittney this morning and she explained everything so well to us. She was really the first person I’ve spoke to that dint just say “we are going to send u an email and it will explain everything”. Brittney was absolutely amazing and answered all our questions that we had and helped us a lot. Super excited and confident about training come up all thanks to Brittney!!

Excellent academy, with clear instructions on how to do the training to turn your pet into a service dog, very supported and guided by the team.

So I did a contract for unlimited training. After six weeks the trainer showed up three times and called in twice. There was no improvement in my labs training at all. When I asked for my money back they refused. They failed to provide service in accordance with the contract but wanted the money anyway 1300.00. This is the second dog trainer who has scammed me. Beware of these guys and the only training was for the owner who learned the hard and expensive way.

I had one of the worst experiences imaginable with Dog Academy, and I feel obligated to warn other pet owners before they go through what I did. I paid for their training program and was told a trainer would come within a few days. The first trainer never showed up not once and still marked every session as “completed”, which is not only unprofessional but blatantly dishonest. I had to contact Dog Academy myself to report that their trainer was claiming to complete sessions he never attended. Instead of taking responsibility, they simply assigned me a second trainer to “make up for it.” Unfortunately, the second trainer was just as disappointing. His entire method consisted of giving my dog treat after treat every couple of seconds. By the time he left, my puppy had eaten so much that he became violently ill. My dog ended up vomiting nonstop and required a vet visit because he was so sick from the excessive treats. My veterinarian explained that this type of training actually increases anxiety, especially for dogs that already have separation anxiety which is the exact issue Dog Academy claimed they could fix. Instead of seeing any progress, my dog’s anxiety got worse, and the experience set us back even further. Dog Academy also advertises a refund if the sessions do not work. I spoke with their manager, Hunter, who refused to help, refused to honor the guarantee, and offered nothing but excuses. Instead of taking accountability, they tried to “make it right” by offering me a third trainer, which I should not have to deal with after two terrible experiences one trainer who lied and never showed up, and another who made my dog sick.

This is the worse company I've ever encountered... their methods are not consistent. You will have an extremely hard time finding a trainer because they won't pay them

My trainer was very helpful and explain things well.
