Dog Academy

Dog Academy offers three main training programs: Private Training, Group Training, and Online Training. Private training provides personalized one-on-one attention, tailored to the dog’s needs, skills, and personality, and can take place in the home or public locations. Group training classes include up to 8 dogs, focusing on socialization and mastering commands, and are more budget-friendly. Online training is flexible and budget-friendly, offering video sessions and a wide range of courses that can be done at one’s own pace.

Their overall process involves three steps: first, telling them about yourself and your dog(s) for evaluation; second, receiving a call from their dog training concierge for trainer recommendations; and third, scheduling the first session. The training aims to create an obedient, well-behaved dog, reducing stress for owners and building a deeper bond.
