American K-9 Academy

Thanks American K-9 Academy. Liz and Mike are great, they treat your dog as there own and do a great job. My 2 year old catahoula leopard dog mix was giving us a run for our money on walks. Hes a 100lbs. He was unmanageable for my family if he saw a distraction. Mike worked with our dog for 5 weeks.. As well as with us pet owners…..Well what was supposed to be 5 weeks…. I saw such an improvement with my dog by the 3rd week, i actually wanted to take him home… by the 4th week i said to Mike, Im bringing him home… Our dog Chip was more than content where he was. Myself and the rest of my family missed having our dog at home. Anyways, we brought him home after 4 weeks. How great its been. This dog went from where you could not walk him; he literally had dragged my wife down the street. To Now… he heals at your side, sits until you give him the O.K. To break.. He will lay down now. He will even stay once hes in a sit or down position, I can have him sit at the porch while i go to my mailbox. We are glad to have our improved but still goofy family dog home.

American K9 Academy trained my Blue Healer a few years ago. I have since moved from the area. Two months after my move I had a stroke. This isn't a sob story, actually it's a success story. If you know how much energy & spunk Healers have you'll understand.
Without American K9's excellent training I would have had to have gotten rid of Addy because of my new condition. I wouldn't have been able to handled all that energy & spunk. But because of the great training Addy received he is so well behaved that I have been able to keep him. He is still a handful, like any Healer, but very manageable, (even with the condition my condition is in).

Thank you Michael.

I’m happy to leave a glowing review for Liz and the rest of the staff at American K-9 Academy!

I have been bringing Obi, my five-year-old golden retriever, to American K-9 Academy for more than three years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives.

I always feel comfortable dropping him off for daycare, and Obi is just as happy to be there! He starts getting excited as soon as we approach the location, and as much as I’d like to think he misses me while he’s there, I’m not sure he does! That said, he is always excited to see me and jumps right into the car when I pick him up.

Liz and the entire staff have always been kind, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. They are quick to respond to questions, provide updates when needed or requested, and have happily sent me pictures of Obi while he is there. Their prices are also very reasonable for the quality care they provide.

I live in East Lyme, Connecticut, and there are plenty of dog daycares that would be closer and more convenient. That said, I will gladly continue making the 30-minute drive to American K-9 Academy where I know Obi receives plenty of playtime, rest, water, affection, and socialization. I also trust that if I ever had a question or concern, the staff would listen and do everything they could to help.

I highly recommend American K-9 Academy to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their dog, whether you need daycare while you’re at work, want a free weekend, or need overnight boarding. I have left Obi with them for as long as 10 days while away on a family vacation, and I will happily continue doing so!
