Testimonials

“Koa’s academy was great. The instructor Sergio was extremely knowledgeable. I really appreciated his training style. He made sure that the owners were trained first and made sure we were all comfortable with each technique. After training, my dog, Atlas is no longer reactive and recalls like a dream. I highly recommend Koa’s for anybody with a new puppy or an older dog that needs some training.”
– Customer

“We are so grateful to have found Sergio. Our rescue dog was a wild child and out of control. Now she listens, knows several commands, and is a very happy girl. Would not have happened without Sergio’s training and support. Sergio is a joy to work with. He loves what he does and cares about the dogs and their pet parents.”
