Epic Dog Academy

I bring my dogs here for grooming! 2 Huskies and a GSD/Husky. They have the double coats and are always shedding. Epic Dog Academy does a great job blowing their coats, detangling any matting and they look and smell great!!

I signed my 9 month old Doberman pinscher up for the 2 week board and train after struggling for months with my pups reactivity to dogs, people, cars, the smallest thing you name it she was scared of it, barking at it and lunging at it.

The actual process of her being at the board and train went smoothly. I received pictures and videos of my dog almost everyday and had constant communication with my trainer Saheed. Whatever concerns or questions I had I received timely response and felt reassured she was in good hands. Pictures and videos of the training demonstrated supervised engagement with other dogs and training progress. I also appreciated daily messages I received on eating habits and tracked amount of food intake for morning and evenings.

The results of the training for my pup are still a work in progress. I definitely saw a difference in my dogs...

I’m excited about the journey with epic dog Academy with my dog Journey, my main goal of the training experience was to help her gain confidence in a new environment to help her become a better service dog. She has done amazing since her time with them, and we are looking forward to the ongoing classes as we have chosen the honor roll program and are looking forward to those group classes for life. We have loved our private sessions as well with our trainer, Jennafer. Thank you, Jennafer, for helping Journey learn new skills and hone in per commands.

Excellent!!! Reyna learned a lot. She was well taken care of. Can’t wait to start my group classes.

EDA got my paranoid, reactive, hated my wife dog to be able to be touched and pet by my wife. Their training was great, still a lot of work to do by me to keep the results they achieved. Overall, great place to send your dog.

Completely changed my dog for the better!

I can’t say enough about EDA!!! Their staff was amazing thru the whole process and being only 4-5 months old during his training he learned a lot. If you’re questioning if you should pull the trigger… pull it … best decision ! Thank you EDA !

Morgan is a new dog and really understand and lives a happier life after two weeks at Epic. Great job Epic great company and great staff

Epic is an amazing company with competent and compassionate trainers. Fully supportive. Highly recommend

The owners are wonderful. Vince & Olivia are fantastic to work with and truly care about both their clients and the pups.
Excellent training!

After only two weeks of training at Epic Dog Academy, my dog's behavior has gone from my dog being wholly unable to be within 30 ft of other dogs (without immediately bolting towards them aggressively) to being relatively quiescent while other dogs are present. It's a night-and-day difference. I previously had sent my dog to another longer and more expensive boarding/training service (I won't say their name, but let's just say they are a "special" service, hint, hint) and they had refused to do any significant socialization of my dog, which is why I had taken him there in the first place. With Epic Dog Academy, however, their owner pretty much guaranteed that they would be able to manage my dog's aggressive behaviors, and they put their money where their mouth is.. I have to admit, I was incredulous to a certain degree, but I was deaperate so I gave Epic a try....

Tried my dogs nails when we were going through town. Very nice.

This place is great, the staff is so friendly and you can tell they're invested in the safety and wellbeing of your dog. The board and train program is excellent and worked wonders with our puppy. Highly recommend

Great experience! I can definitely see the improvement in Teddy is so well behaved he has learned so much and we also learned from
Teddy, I am glad I chose you guys! Olivia, his trainer was great, she communicated with my Mom via the App, phone and updated pictures of Teddy while in training. She also stopped by my Moms house to follow up and see how Teddy was doing in his new home. Although we have not been able to take him to group sessions we are definitely looking forward on attending a class soon.
Thank you so much,
Keara

We brought our 10 month old Cane Corso to Epic for boarding school. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our trainer Ash was amazing. She sent us photos and updates on training daily. She also answered all our questions very quickly. Our pup came home a different dog and absolutely loves training. It is amazing to see how much he changed in two weeks. We are very happy with the services we received at Epic and would recommend them to friends and family.

We’ve been coming to Epic Dog Academy for over a year now and we truly can’t recommend them enough! We first found them after adopting our Pomeranian, Katsu, who struggled with anxiety and aggression toward other dogs. We enrolled him in their board and train program and saw incredible results. He came home more disciplined and more confident. He also seemed much happier! The training they provided made a huge difference for him. Our consistency at home helped reinforce everything he learned.

Since then we’ve continued bringing all three of our dogs to EDA for grooming. Their groomers are absolutely wonderful! Our other two dogs are not easy to handle. Our older corgi, Flapjack, has always struggled with grooming. Even nail trims used to require multiple people and sometimes our vet. At EDA he does amazingly well. It still surprises us every time!

Our...

Grayson is my first dog. Boxer breed, high energy, eager to please, clever and so stubborn I sometimes think we're related by blood. Natural good boy, but he won't fake it for anyone. Our experience with Epic has been great.

Depending on your level of separation anxiety, you might feel communication is lacking, but you are welcome to reach out directly for an update. It's very evident to me that the time and attention was spent on my dog. After 2 weeks boarding all of the work I already put in has clearly been reinforced. It's amazing to see him so attentive while I'm giving him commands, but watching him not bark or jump on people is actually insane.

I'm sure every training journey will have its own challenges. Ours has been 5 stars and looking forward to working with them more.

Special thanks to Vincent for working with us and a rough budget,...

We had a great experience with our pet!

Olivia and the team did an excellent job communicating what my dog learned and how I can continue reinforcing the training at home. I really appreciated how patient and supportive they were in answering my questions and making sure I felt confident continuing the training myself.

I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog and improve behavior in a positive, effective way.

Great grooming experience. My pup visited for the first time and had an excellent experience. Very happy and will continue to attend.

We recused Lulu from the shelter, she was dropped off at night at the night drop. She was abused & growling & nipping. She went for training with Erin & she did a great job with her. She doesn’t nip any more & still learning all the commands. But we’ll be working with her at the group training on Saturday’s. A good dog was hurt by a bad person, but Thxs to EDA she is building trust & love . Thank you 🐕💞

Vince and Olivia are the best to work with and genuinely just good people. They’re very honest even and hold you accountable to working together. When it comes to your furry loved one and the hairiest of the family members they not only do an amazing job, they continue to work with you after training, and the have an amazing group class. Dog training isn’t a one time event and the dog is magically fixed. It takes work, consistency, and effort from everyone while committing to make changes. If you’re looking for the best and you’re looking for honesty, accountability, and continual help then Epic Dog Academy is the best choice from San Diego County to Orange County. Highly recommend to give them a call and at least setup a consultation to see how they can help you, your family, and your furry members of the family!

They trained my golden retriever to perfection !

It saved my marriage training the dog

She was causing tension in the family .

Olivia is the one that trained our family dog Molly . I recommend for all training needs

My dog and I have had such a wonderful experience with EDA! They’re kind, and so helpful. Erin did such a great job with my dog and continues to go above and beyond now that he’s done with his 2 week training. Excited to continue to come back for group class and daycare! Thank you Erin and EDA for being so awesome!
