“Dream Dog Academy completely changed our lives!

Victoria’s knowledge and expertise with dog training has been a complete game changer. She has given me easy and effective tactics designed to help with mouthing, relaxation, leash walking and distractions. She helped me better understand my pup’s body language to know what he’s trying to communicate, and how to set him up for success in different kinds of situations. If you need help with your pup, she is the one to call!” – Meghan W.

“If you’re looking for a professional, accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable trainer, Victoria is your answer. She helps break down behaviors and gives you different tools to help you be successful with your pup. After every session she provides a detailed follow up with everything you went over in your session and helpful links/documents to reference. We look forward to future sessions with Victoria!”
