Woof Academy is amazing! Our dog, Sparkle, has flourished from both the training (from the time she was a puppy) and the boarding. The dog lovers who work here know Sparkle personally and create an amazing environment for her and her fellow doggies! Pam, the owner, has created the best dog training, pack walks, and boarding! Sparkle loves it here!

She goes to the daycare socialization classes each week, and we also board her at Woof when we are out of town. We trust Pam and the staff…
