Advanced K9 Academy

Best training experience I've ever had!! I have a 2 year old Doberman, he's my first dog. I have worked with four trainers during that time, two of which were board and train experiences. Shay and Lindsey by far were the best and brought my dobie's obedience to the next level! They're super talented, but where they really shine is the time they invested in me as an owner, something I never expected. They went the extra mile to equip me with tools and knowledge, through real world scenarios. Bit by bit they building my understanding and skill. They showed the utmost care for my dog's performance and wellbeing. They coached me on how to become a more confident leader in my dog's life, and always answered any questions I had. I sincerely believe I'm a better dog owner because of their hard w

Lindsay & Shay are THE best, hands down! If I could give 100/5 stars I would. They came to me & my almost 2yr old GSD for an ‘in-home’ evaluation & after 3 minutes I was blown away by the insight they provided. They specialize in dog psychology, something I had never heard of before (but wish I learned sooner). We immediately signed up for the Advanced Obedience program and I couldn’t be more blown away by the results. My dog was a great boy, but had no leash manners, & neither respected nor trusted me before we started training. They didn’t just teach my dog, they taught me too. They helped us build a strong and trusting bond. Lindsay & Shay helped me build my confidence as well. They’re great trainers and all around amazing people! Our sessions were always so insightful.

My experience with Shay and Lindsay has been nothing, but stellar. From the consultation to the pick-up of my dog there was never a missed beat, lapsed contact or any sense of anything less than diligent professionalism. To say I was struggling with my pup would be a huge understatement. Being 24, balancing social life, professional life, and a little puppy can be a recipe for disaster!! My 6 month old Australian - Shepherd went to a couple different trainers and I was seeing ZERO RESULTS!! Frantically trying and constantly failing I was finally giving up hope. He needed a lot of help. He was timid, overly energetic, constantly vicious towards other dogs and people. I then reached out to Shay and Lindsay. My dog “Leo” went into the care of Shay and Lindsay for the board and train program.

We had an incredible experience with Shay and Lindsay. They helped us give our German Shepherd such a better quality of life all around. Our super stubborn boy did 3 weeks of board and train followed by 3 weeks of at-home lessons. Strangers now constantly comment on how well-behaved our dog is. They are super professional and are quick to answer questions. Our lessons ended weeks ago but they still check on us and answer any new questions we have.

Shay and Lindsay are amazing to work with. They are incredibly skilled at reading dogs and crafting training that works for each owners specific concerns. I wish I didn’t hold off seeking them out, a few weeks of training completely changed my dog’s undesirable behaviors while keeping the playful personality intact. Our dog is a 3 year old golden-doodle who prior to training would pull on walks, jump at guests inside the house, and bark/pull if we took him with us to a brewery. Shay and Lindsay worked with us to hear out our concerns, evaluate the dog, and made recommendations on how to correct. We went with training several times a week so that he’d be off leash capable. The training is as much for the owners as it is for the dog. They taught my partner and I the skills to fix thin
