Testimonials

We’re so happy with our Bernese Mountain Dog’s one-week training with Seth at Purdom Dog Academy. From the start, Seth and Flavia were responsive and supportive–sending us updates three times during the week, and any time we had a question, a quick text got a fast, helpful reply. Even before training began, I reached out about a few behavior questions and Seth was super helpful. Moose had a ton of fun and learned a lot. We’re already booking the two-week program next so they can build on his progress, and we’ll also be using their boarding (love that Seth does refreshers while Moose stays). It’s rare to find trainers who combine great communication, real results, and genuine care–Seth and Flavia check every box. We feel lucky to have found them and will keep recommending Purdom Dog Academy to everyone we know.

We had such a great experience at Purdom Dog Academy! Our pup Olive spent two weeks there and learned so much. Seth and his team gave her a strong foundation that we can continue building on at home. You can tell he really cares about the dogs and tailors the training to their individual needs. Highly recommend!

The Best Decision for Our Dog! Our training session with Seth was truly transformative. Seth is very knowledgeable and demonstrates an expert understanding of dog psychology and learning. He was exceptionally patient and explained every concept and technique. After our session I felt equipped with the right tools to be a better manage and train my dog. If you want a trainer who educates you as well as your dog, look no further. Highly recommend!
