    Doggie U K-9 Academy is an awesome place where my dog, who is fearful, has been able to flourish. We have done obedience, rally, leash walking, and canine good citizen classes before getting into agility for the last few years. I can say nothing but the best about the kind and caring instructors as well as the people I’ve met here. It’s a great place to bond with your dog. And my dog is well behaved due to all I’ve learned here. I highly recommend it!

    My dog loves his agility courses here! Our instructor is no non-sense, but its obviously in the support of the dogs and their safety. We drive all the way from Brooklyn to make sure Atlas is getting the best out of his classes. They have competition size equipment and give special attention to each dog. I wish I lived closer, I would go to more classes!

    We absolutely love coming here. We started doing foundational Agility training with Logan. She is AMAZING and makes it so much fun. Our dog had severe separation anxiety and we felt that if we gave him a job in the house that would help. I have experience training previous dogs of mine but Eddie here needs much more mental and physical work. He has grown so much thanks to Doggie U. We compete in some of the smaller things they host like Happy Ratters. We have moved up into Paulas beginner class and he continues to gain confidence. The instructors love what they do and help you have fun and bond with your dog. You can always come down to one of their open houses to try it and see if it is for you and your dog. Logan has even done lessons with my children and our dog. Fun for the whole family :)

    I first came across this place for agility with my mini Aussie years ago and am now coming back with my very hyper lab mix. The agility classes are very fun classes, which allow each and every dog time to work through the obstacles they find trickier. Handlers and their dogs are not given a ‘set time’ to work through the obstacles because it really depends on what every dog seems to be struggling with. However, every dog has time to work through the course a minimum of 4 times. My dog was a rescue that struggled greatly with her confidence, but she has always shown an affinity for jumping, running and sports. I originally signed her up to help her have a positive outlet for all her energy and build up her confidence. After every class, I see so much progression and confidence in her. I’m so happy I decided to come back with another dog. Would highly recommend DoggieU.

    Doggy u is a great place to train your pup, It is respectively, priced I find the staff to be very courteous and professional. The trainers have many many years of experience and it shows in their training .what I like most about the place is they care and respect for my pup even though he’s a wild maniac, and I’ve noticed the big difference in his personality since we’ve been going there I look forward to taking My Boy there, and I recommend a place highly.

  • Review 8 (2024-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been taking my dog here for many years now. Weve done obedience classes and were currently on our second year of agility. Definitely would recommend this place too new folks that want to grow with their pet. They have lots to offer so check out their site!

  • Review 9 (2024-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    I took my dog to Doggie U for agility training for over 5 years. During that time, Terri was an amazing and patient trainer who adjusted to my dogs needs as she aged and her abilities changed. We learned so much and created an even stronger bond. Doggie U offers so much whether it is competitive, or just for fun, like I chose to do. When my dog passed away, both Terri and the owner, Rolissa, personally called me to send their condolences.

  • Review 11 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    I have been taking my dogs to DoggieU since 2014. The facility is great, so are the instructors. Classes in obedience, agility, rally, conformation are offered. Weekends are usually filled with competitions in obedience, conformation, agility, rally, speedway, happy ratters, Ive probably left something out. Currently I have four dogs taking classes in obedience and agility. My dogs love it there. Private lessons and ring rentals are also available. I am there at least 3 days per week. Obviously, I love it there too.

  • Review 12 (2024-02-06 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent facility & knowledgeable staff! Doggie U is a home away from home for me and my dog. Doggie U is our family and we love the variety of classes & programs it has to offer!

  • Review 13 (2024-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    I love the training at Doggie U K9 Academy. I took my boy early on and recently went back to train again. I like being involved in the training & having someone professional there to guide me. The classes are very reasonable and they work with you on whatever it is that you may end up needing help with. You have to be patient and you will see the positive outcome in the end. I also love that you can choose to continue taking the classes as many times as you want. And you can take agility classes. They are amazing here! Thank you for all that you do! 💙🐾

Highly recommended them and will testify of the importance of commitment to, engaging with and partnering with your dog(s) as well as consistently working with knowledgeable, experienced and kind professionals

    My dog and I love going to agility. We have lots if fun. Doggie U is my second family.

  • Review 17 (2024-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    Doggie U is a unique facility that offers excellent training by serious, long-term dog sport competitors, people with decades of experience . Conformation, rally, agility, obedience (both basic and competitive) are taught by trainers who have all competed and earned advanced titles. They also have several basic classes for total beginners.They know dogs.Another benefit is that the facility is large enough to host competitive events. There are trials throughout the year. Many of the students are also high-level competitors, and beginners can learn a lot just by watching and asking questions.Ring rentals, in which you can practice on your own, are reasonably priced and you can book by the hour or half hour.The trainers take great interest—and joy—in seeing their students succeed. You have a built-in cheering squad. I see the comments saying that the people are not warm and fuzzy, but dog people generally have a reputation for being a bit crusty. Theyre dog trainers, not politicians. What matters to me is that they get results.This year trainer Teri N. helped me and my Emily earn a title that I never dreamed we would achieve. At the next class, Teri and my classmates (who have all become friends) surprised us with a cake, flowers, and a little celebration. Thats plenty warm and fuzzy for me. I love this place.

    Great instructor! Thanks to Rita for helping me with Chalumeu and her suggestion to continue with Camp Bow Wow for better socializing

  • Review 19 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    I can not say enough good things about Doggie U! We have been coming to this facility for 6 years now taking classes in breed handling, agility and obedience. The instructors are great and they offer so many different classes so you can start with your dog at a beginner level and go all the way to advanced. Not only can you train here but you can also compete here as well because they hold trials here on the wekends.

  • Review 20 (2024-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    I’m very glad we found Doggie U K9 Academy. They’re a top notch go to facility for all things canine, from basic home training to preparing for national AKC competitions.I originally started with Doggie U over a year ago for basic obedience classes and to investigate what dog agility training was all about. It looked hella fun and like a great way to build a special bond with your canine companion. I have a little schipperke, Storm, a dog many professionals told me is ‘off breed’ when it comes to performance sports and obedience. More specifically, one much awarded 40-year veteran trainer elaborated, ‘You don’t have a border collie, golden, sheltie or any other breed known for agility/rally/obedience prowess. What you’re dealing with is one step away from a wild animal.’ Other comments compared training schipperkes to ‘herding cats,’ ‘a losing battle,’ and simply ‘oh honey, bless your heart.’Right from the start of working with Rolissa Nash, the creator of Doggie U and a legendary trainer who in her words says ‘I’ve been doing agility since agility started,’ I was surprised by how naturally talented Storm was on the agility obstacles; however, I also experienced the frustration of what everyone else said. Schipps are known to be as extremely loyal and intelligent (great things!) as they are impulsive, defiant and easily distracted (terrible things!). Storm could do a perfect recall one time and run outta the ring the next. We’d have a stellar multi obstacle agility run and then she’d do uncontrollable zoomies, insanely running around the room until caught. Thanks to Rolissa’s unique insights, undoubtedly gained from a lifetime in all areas of canine performance that few others have, and a lot of my research as I got increasingly sucked into the fascinating world of dog training, we overcame many seemingly insurmountable roadblocks in our journey so far… a journey that started with just wanting to build a special bond that’s miraculously led to three AKC titles.It’s a team effort and I think that’s what Doggie U is all about.. being part of your team to help you accomplish whatever goals you and your dog have. A very valued new member of that team for Storm and I is Mara Bovsun, a rally instructor at Doggie U. We love rally and we adore Mara. Mara is a RACH (Rally Championship Title) holder who puts a huge amount of effort and attention to detail into her classes while sharing her expertise. She’s an absolute joy to work with and is very committed to the success of all her students.Doggie U K9 Academy has opened up a new world to us and we’re excited to continue our journey with them. We face various challenges as our training progresses and I’m thankful the folk at Doggie U are always there to help us figure things out. I recommend them very highly to any dog owners wanting to conquer new horizons or simply have a better behaved canine companion.JB & Storm

    Doggie U will help you bring out the best in your dog. Our dog attended their Puppy Kindergarten to learn basic obedience and we get compliments wherever we take her. We also take Agility classes every week where she has so much fun that she can hardly wait to get there. Their trainers have seen it all and can help you address whatever issue you might need help with.

    Doggie U is a great spot on Long Island for dog sports. They always have fun group classes and many competitions on the weekends. They do fun matches for obedience, breed handling and agility as well. My dogs love the footing and the environment. Really great place! We primarily do agility and always have a great time.

  • Review 24 (2024-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going to confirmation handling classes for many, many years. Rolissa is the first teacher that I have met who truly teaches you, and makes sure to show you how to get the most out of your relationship with your dog. I am so happy to have found her. Better late than never!

  • Review 25 (2024-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    In addition to a top notch training facility, the instructors and staff at Doggie U truly care about their students (both human and canine). Anyone in the area who wants a well mannered dog or is interested in competition obedience should visit Doggie U and talk to the staff, youll be glad you did!
