Why Dog Academy Is Right for Your Dog

At Dog Academy LLC, we help families across the Florida Panhandle build calm, reliable dogs through clear communication and everyday structure. Our balanced, real‑world approach blends positive reinforcement with fair accountability so your dog understands exactly what to do—and what not to do. Whether you’re raising a puppy, polishing manners, or tackling reactivity, our programs are designed to transfer results to your home and lifestyle.

We’re a private, appointment‑only school in Lynn Haven led by Andrea and Shaun, committed to helping owners feel confident and in control. Expect practical training you can use immediately: house manners, potty training, recall (“come”), loose‑leash walking, bed/kennel with DDD, sit, down, stay, and wait—plus behavior modification when needed. You’ll also receive video guidance, group support, and private coaching so progress sticks long after graduation.

Quick Facts

Programs Built for Real‑Life Reliability

Day School (5 Weeks)

Our popular Day School blends training, socialization, and daily structure for 5 weeks. We use your dog’s own food for rewards, layer in leash skills and impulse control, and give you daily video homework so you can reinforce every step at home. Includes 3 private lessons and unlimited group classes for ongoing support.

Potty Training Leash Skills Recall House Manners

Board & Train (3–10 Weeks)

Immersive, in‑home schooling for faster, more consistent results. Your dog lives with us to practice good choices all day: come, heel, kennel/bed (DDD), sit, stay, wait, down, and calm behavior around distractions. You’ll get weekly video updates, private lessons, and unlimited group classes after graduation to keep momentum going.

Private & Group Lessons

Prefer hands‑on coaching? We’ll tailor private lessons around your schedule and goals, then reinforce those skills in supportive Sunday group classes. From AKC Canine Good Citizen prep to advanced public manners, we focus on everyday obedience you can trust anywhere.

Customized CGC Advanced Public Work

Note: Boarding and daycare are exclusive to clients whose dogs have completed Day School or Board & Train to ensure a low‑stress, well‑structured environment for everyone.

Clear Skills. Calm Dogs. Confident Owners.

Our training goes beyond tricks. We teach your dog how to live in your home: settle on a bed during dinner, walk politely past distractions, come when called, and stay off counters and furniture unless invited. If jumping, barking, or anxiety are getting in the way, we’ll address root causes and provide fair consequences paired with plenty of praise—because a good dog deserves to know when they’ve nailed it 🙂

What You Can Expect

Learning Day: a free, humans‑only orientation covering how dogs learn, nutrition, grooming, parasite prevention, and more—so you know the why behind the training.

Owner Transfer: at go‑home, we review commands, handling, and maintenance so you feel ready. You’ll have text/phone access for follow‑up questions.

Health Requirements: age‑appropriate vaccines (Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella every 6 months), negative fecal within 6 months, and monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from Day School or Board & Train?

Most families see measurable improvements in manners and obedience within the first two weeks. Our focus is reliable recall, leash skills, crate/bed with DDD, and calm behavior around people and dogs. We transfer results to you through private lessons, group classes, and video support so the training lasts at home. Do you serve Panama City and Panama City Beach?

Yes. We regularly work with dogs from Panama City, Panama City Beach, Southport, Callaway, and all of Bay County. Many owners choose Board & Train for convenience and faster progress. What vaccinations are required?

Age‑appropriate core vaccines (Rabies as required by age, DHLPP), Bordetella every 6 months, a negative fecal within 6 months, and active flea/tick/heartworm prevention. These policies keep the environment safe and low‑stress for all dogs in our care. Can my dog board or attend daycare without training first?

To preserve a calm environment and reduce stress, boarding and daycare are exclusive to clients who have completed Day School or Board & Train. This ensures all dogs know our routine and settle comfortably. How do I get started?
