Private Training
Our personalized, one-on-one training is our most effective course. Your pup will get their trainer's undivided attention without any distractions, and the training will be tailored to their needs, skills, and personality.

Group Training
Our group training classes include up to 8 dogs, so your dog will benefit from socialization while mastering new commands. Plus, you'll get to meet other pup parents yourself.

Online Training
Our flexible online training is our most budget-friendly, and since the video sessions are just like private training, it's also highly effective. You'll get to train when and where you want, and work at your own pace.

A Well Trained Dog Means
Less Stress & A Deeper Bond
Enjoy Walks Without Pulling
When your pup isn't chasing after every squirrel, constantly tugging on their leash, or trying to run off the sidewalk, your walks will be stress-free, relaxing, and fun.
Stop Disruptive Behaviors
Whether your dog jumps on people, digs in the yard, begs for food, whines constantly, runs off, or barks excessively, our training will help them stop.
Leave Your Dog at Home Without Stress
Go to work, run errands, or head out to dinner without worrying that your pup is stressed, destructive, or howling for you.
Go Out in Public With Confidence
Take your dog out and about with you without wondering if they'll misbehave, make a mess, or bother other people or animals.
Socialize at Local Dog Parks
Let your pup have fun running and playing with other dogs at Springdale's beautiful dog parks.
Build a Deeper Bond
Our training forges a deep, life-long connection built on trust, respect, and positivity.

What People Are Saying
Online Training
Even if you're a total rookie when it comes to dog training, I'd recommend Dog Academy. Before their Basic Dog Training Course, I couldn't even get my dog, Charlie, to sit. This course covers everything you could need to know without being overwhelming or hard to follow. I finally feel confident when training my dog, and he heels, sits, and stays perfectly. I couldn’t be happier!

Online Training
My brother is special needs and 25 years old. Everyday outings can feel overwhelming and difficult to handle. I heard about Dog Academy so I decided to train my Frenchie to help reduce my brother’s anxiety and calm him a little. The training was cost-effective, simple, and proved to be extremely helpful for both me and my brother. Dog Academy has truly enabled us to travel to new places and experience new things that were previously impossible. I encourage anyone who may have loved ones with anxiety, depression, or a neuro-diversity to try these training courses.

Group Training
Not only was Dog Academy’s group training extremely effective, but I made some fantastic friends during the course - including the trainer! My lab, Bernie, was a rescue and needed some extra socialization, and this was the perfect way to help her out. Now, she loves playing with other dogs, and she’s the most obedient and relaxed dog I have ever had!

Private Training
My dog, Daisy, absolutely fell in love with her trainer at Dog Academy - he was so friendly and warm with her! I’m so grateful she had so much fun while learning - she can perform tons of tricks now, has stopped digging up my back garden, and never jumps on people when they come in the house any longer. Honestly, she just seems happier over as well - and I really am, too!

Many find our private training program to be the most successful since it’s customized for your dog and helps them avoid distractions. However, if your dog needs more socialization, group training can be more successful, and our online courses have many of the same benefits as our private training!

100% full refund as long as you cancel more than 24 hours before your training session.

The price varies between $75 - $130 per hour depending on your location.
Group Training
As long as your dog is not aggressive toward other dogs, and as long as they aren’t disruptive in class, they’re welcome!
The price varies between $39 - $75 per 1 hour class depending on your location.
Online Training
Our courses are designed to be accessible to everyone. Even if this is your very first time working with a dog, the lessons are both comprehensive and easy-to-follow. Plus, we have additional learning materials to make training easier.
Our online courses start as low as $29.99 and go all the way up to $349.99. We also have a monthly subscription that includes access to all of our courses, unlimited televet sessions, and exclusive discounts at our more than 50 pet partners.
Each dog you’re training must be enrolled themselves. However, we do offer discounts for multiple dogs. They will each receive their own certificate upon graduation!
