Honestly, I don’t know what we would do without Joe & Paige. They are freaking awesome. They have taken so much time to sit with us. Listen to us, talk with us, plan with us, and work with us to make our puppy dog the best puppy dog ever.

As they say – you get what you pay for. Could we have gone a cheaper route? Sure, but I KNOW we wouldn’t have gotten and continue to get the service, the expertise and the professionalism that we continue to get from them.

I recommend them highly.

We found ourselves with a family members 18 mo old Aussie Doodle who we definitely loved and is loved by the entire family. However, “Hopper” was out of control and we were to leave on vacation and knew it would be miserable for he and us. He would not respond to our calls to come, he blasted out an open door, barked and was aggressive with strangers and terrorized our eight year old dog when they went out to take care of business. To say the least we knew we had to get him under control. I googled and came across OverWatch K9 Academy. I was surprised they could accommodate our urgent need with only a two week notice but we were blessed Jessica was available. Jessica picked Hopper up at our Condo in Atlanta and upon entering was met with our aggressive “Hopper” and tried to bite her (actually he slightly broke the skin). She remained unshaken and upon leaving with “Hopper” in tow we had our doubts. We stayed in contact via text and received videos of his progress and we could not believe he was so behaved. Today Jessica drove to our home in South Carolina to bring him home. She spent over an hour with us going over what words he responds to, the e-collar and answered any questions we had before bringing him in. The homecoming was wonderful and he was so excited to see us. Afterwards we went outside to work with him. He is a totally different boy from the bad boy she left with two weeks ago. He no longer terrorizes “Michael”, our older dog, he sits at the door with escaping, answers our commands and best of all is still the loveable pup we had but now a joy to be around. The expense was not in our budget but we would definitely do it again. We have already recommended Jessica to a couple of people and could not be more pleased with the outcome. Jessica understands dogs, builds a relationship and brings home the dog you hoped he could be. Jessica was a Godsend!

Maegan the trainer was nothing but AMAZING during the whole training process. I got updates everyday and she answered all my questions. She always responded quickly and was so warm and friendly! I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer for my stubborn but loving dog clover. I got her home today and she knows all the basic commands and has a confidence she has never had before! Before she was a timid shy dog and now she is the star of the show! When I was looking up different places and made any request for information they called me right away and answered all questions I had and were super friendly. This made my decision to board and train easy! This place is as good as it gets! If you need your dog trained or have nearly given up hope please go to OverWatch k9 academy!

We did the broad & train program with our 6 month old puppy Pluto. Since Veronika has returned Pluto he has been the most well behaved puppy. No more barking 24/7, destructive behavior or “accidents” in the house. He listens to my husband and I, even our 5y/o. Our walks are easier and playtime is more structured.

Wow. GREAT EXPERIENCE! From my very first phone call, at 7 AM Josh spoke to me immediately and was VERY helpful and easy to talk to and also super fun! He knew all the answers to my concerns and paired us with the best trainer for our puppy! Our trainer Maegan is INCREDIBLE & naturally great with dogs & LOVES animals with her entire heart. She had great communication with my husband and I as our puppy stayed with her during training. I will be using k9 academy for all of my future puppies! Our Dalmatian is a better dog all around to the thanks of K9 academy

We have been working with Dylan for the past few months and it has been a wonderful experience. As a first time dog owner, Dylan has been accessible to me, answers all my (crazy) questions, and most importantly, it is obvious Kobe really enjoys his time with him. Thank you Dylan!!

OverWatch K9 Academy is the best choice ever. Dylan our trainer is the BEST, I couldn’t have gotten a better trainer that I can trust. He works best with my Cane Corso, I never would’ve thought OverWatch K9 Academy would do so much for my dog!! Best thing ever 10/10. Thank you so much

Paige is awesome! Cash has been back from his board & train for almost 2 weeks now and he’s doing awesome. His leash-pulling, excessive barking, and over excitement around guests have improved greatly. Paige was so helpful and informative throughout the whole process and kept me updated with youtube videos. When he came home Paige showed me everything in detail that he learned and how to continue implementing his training. Cash has become a much better listener and overall is more attentive and calm, but still has his silly personality!

Maggie Weaver

Paige is awesome. She has helped our dog immensely. He was reactive on a leash towards other dogs and would bark at any anything that moved while looking out the window. We are now able to walk past so many dogs in peace in all types of environments (park, trail, neighborhood, etc.). Paige doesn’t just show you the corrections and rewards, but explains why she uses each technique and how to read our dog’s mood based off his body posture. On top of helping our dog, she has helped us become better dog parents. She makes every session fun too. We will miss seeing her on a weekly basis!

Geoff Gross

From the moment we became clients Maegan has been nothing but amazing! Even before Novas first official week she reached out to me and began helping me with training. I am clueless on how to train a dog even though I have had them my whole life. Maegan has been a saving grace in guiding me on how to continue the training and structure she has taught Nova. She has put so much time, love and attention into Nova and worked hard to make Nova an even better version of her already awesome self. I am so thankful for Maegan and ALL she has done and continues to! Girl you are amazing Nova and I love ya for it and could not do it without you. Your guidance and reassuring words are just what I needed.

Amazing!!!! Best training company a dog lover could ask for. Shocking how they related to our little Dexter in such a small period of time. Can’t wait to see what’s to come as our little boy grows up! True dog whispers, professionalism on every level & such knowledge all while providing a loving touch to our four legged buddy! AWESOME

OverWatch K9 Academy is a business with INTEGRITY. Yes, they are busy and most of the time with the dogs in the field so expect delay in communication but if you can get pass that they’re truly phenomenal dog trainers and people. I still can’t get over how accommodating they were to us with our constantly changing schedule (please be better to them than we were!) and that they offered to keep Lucy extra days (almost a week) for no charge to perfect her heal. They have high standards and I appreciate that. Lucy is now a perfectly trained dog (what a difference!!) and that makes our life so much easier. It was clear that Lucy loved being with Paige & Joey and we loved the video and text updates. We’re recommending them to all our friends with new dogs/ puppies

Rena Ta

These guys are simply amazing!! They have done an amazing job with our pup as well as kept us up to date with her progress. I would definitely recommend them! THANK YALL SO MUCH!

Joseph Tueton

We initially were only looking for info, prior to getting a dog,about training. They gave us all the info and then even offered to help us find a dog that might work for us. We are looking for a GSD of which they know a lot about!! They have gone so far as to look at info on dogs we found ourselves and make sure they would be great pets with good heads on their shoulders and maybe even some good lineage before we spent money on one. They have answered my millions of questions over almost a month’s time period and not once seemed annoyed!! My family and I are so excited to be on this journey with Paige and Joey and can’t wait to have a new fur buddy that they will guide into an amazing pet and friend. Cannot wait to work with them in person and not just in text messages..lol

Joey and his team are amazing. We have two challenging bulldogs. Our newest rescue attacked us and wasn’t able to enjoy living in a home. Joey worked with our dog and helped it understand what needed to change, while also working with us to help us create processes that resolved the problems we were having.  Bo is now a lap dog that sleeps on his back on the couch! Joey saved his life as he was not able to live a normal and healthy dog life. The results we saw were simply unbelievable, and we highly recommend Overwatch.

Paige is absolutely the best trainer. I am so impressed with how Coco responds to my commands and obeys. Worth every bit of the time and money.

Paige is awesome, she is super passionate about what she does and works well with my deaf Australian Shepherd, Catahoula mix, Sodapop. She is super kind and cares that the animal understand what she is teaching it before handing them back over to the owner.

Our 1 year old dog, Munson, is very high energy. Before working with Veronika, we had to gate off most of the house from Munson when our two toddlers were playing. It was difficult to allow him around the boys because he’d knock them over or get in their face.

Since his board & train with Veronika, our lives are completely different. Munson is gentle around the boys and obeys commands to “leave it” when he’s getting too hyper. He even listens to the 2 year old when given the “down” command. It’s been such a relief to be able to let everyone interact freely and see the boys bonding with Munson.

At the end of the board and train period, Veronika spent an afternoon with us going through all the commands and working with Munson. We continue to work with Munson as she instructed to ensure he retains the commands and improved behavior.

We’ve had a great experience working with Veronika and the Overwatch team. I highly recommend the service to anyone who needs help laying the foundation for a training routine.

We want to say thank to Veronika for the wonderful training job with our dog, Osya!
Osya is a wonderful puppy, but we were struggling with number of issues. After Veronika training, I can go outside with him with no worries . He used to get too excited seeing other people or animals. Now he listens and follows my lead. I can enjoy the walk too. He became much more manageable at home as well. Finally, he likes his crate. We struggled with that for months, but Veronika fixed that problem over 2 weeks.
Veronika gave us great foundation that we continue working on every day.
What I also really liked that we had a video and report on the progress every day. We saw the video every day, we saw how much our puppy likes Veronika . He looked well and performed well, so we stopped worrying.
Thank you , Veronika. Great job.

I highly recommend Overwatch K9 Academy. My 2 year old lab Belle spent 2 weeks with Dylan and is now an absolute joy to walk and play with – I continue to be amazed at how well she responds to me now. I am particularly impressed by the follow-up and continuing education that I receive whenever I ask. I cannot say enough good things about Overwatch, Dylan, and the training and care that Belle and I received. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

I can’t say enough about overwatch academy. Making arrangements for my pup was quick and all questions answered. I did the puppy and advanced training and had the pleasure of having the most amazing trainer Veronika. I did not know what to do and she showed us everything. She helped train a very feisty little pup. She was very responsive and when we had a few bumps in the road she quickly came to our aid to assist. I can’t say enough about her she was just awesome.

We heard about Overwatchk9 from a friend who had a great experience with them, and, boy, did they live up to the expectation! Josh was friendly and helpful on the phone, giving us plenty of information and getting us all set up for the Advanced Obedience program. Toaster’s trainer, Jessica, really took her time to put us at ease! We spoke on the phone before pickup to set goals and expectations. Jessica did an excellent job on all aspects that mattered to us most and kept us up to date the whole time with cute videos. It’s phenomenal how much Toaster learned in a little over 2 weeks! She went from a puppy who dragged me around the neighborhood to a well behaved dog who can walk neatly beside me and pay attention. Jessica must be a wizard! She taught us so much about our pup, behavior to expect from her breed, and techniques to keep up her training. She was very patient while practicing with us and her love for our dog was clear during every step of the way. We know that Jessica will check in soon and that we can ask questions at any time. Toaster was sad to watch her leave!
