Well-established business with years of hands-on experience with training and behavioral problem modification including shyness, aggression, barking, jumping, separation anxiety, nipping, etc.
Donnie and Sylvie started the Academy after witnessing the ineffectiveness of the current programs offered out there.
Our program differs by allowing students to build hands-on experience working directly with dogs of all nature in kennel and non-kennel environments. Very unique is the students also working in clients' homes and building people skills. Our program also includes how to run a business effectively.
