Read what past graduates have to say:
"I have taken my past dogs to different training
facilities and this was by far hands down the very best! The instructors are
very knowledgeable and make it fun for both you and your pet! Me and Guinness
looked forward to class every week!"
~ Michelle Newton with Guinness
"I love the attitudes of the instructors and volunteer trainers everyone is very
upbeat and positive. The classes are just fun – rather than dreading going to
class it was always fun – even when Lucy or I messed up – it was ok – we were
learning and that’s what we were there for."
~ Terry Baar with Lucy
"Loved the training, the instructors
cared so much for Gizmo, It makes you feel good when you walk in and they know your dogs name and greets them. I liked that I could make mistakes and not feel uncomfortable. The class taught me to be a better human being to my dog."
~ Vicky McGill with Gizmo
When sked what she liked most about the class; "The individual attention and the love and understanding shown each dog, and each
dog's individual characteristics. This was not cookie cutter."
~ Marilyn Peters with Marco Polo
"One thing we noticed is that there were so many volunteers that we got a lot of individualized and personal instruction pertaining just to our particular training issues with Pai. We really appreciated the time and the effort of all of the volunteers."
~ Nadine Ong with Pai
"I enjoyed the class. Trainers
Academy is a top-notch school for dogs and their owners. My sincere thanks."
~ Connie
Jose with Minnie
"As a result of taking the courses at
Trainers Academy and following their instruction with daily practice, my dog,
Ginger, no longer has to listen to me say "no, no jumping" and "Hey, I'm talking
to you". We can now do great loose leash walking and she is greeting new people
like a very well behaved pup that she is. I highly recommend Trainers
Academy!!! Thanks to all at Trainers Academy!!! "
