We LOVE Woof Academy! My 2 year old pup has lots of energy so she goes to daycare 3 days a week and is so happy going. When I turn on the street she starts trying to break out of the car because she’s SO excited. She then jumps out of the car and sprints to each of the staff who are equally excited to see her. It warms my heart seeing how much she loves it and how much the staff love her.
I also did the puppy training classes when she was younger and it was really fun and helpful!

I have been a Woofingham Palace client for over 5 years. My first pup went there for training and socialization and now my current pup is enrolled in both. End result? Perfectly socialized dogs who are obedient and well-trained. For puppies, the play care is vital because they not only learn how to be both dominant and submissive when appropriate but they come home pooped out! Much needed quiet time for anyone who is raising a puppy. My dogs are so well-socialized that they even share bones! The Mears are amazing people and their staff is equally wonderful and engaging with the dogs. The facility is absolutely spotless and the dogs are not left unattended for even one second. These two dogs are my babies and I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. Thank you Woofingham!!!

Our Dog Sammy LOVES Woofingham Palace and so do we. The puppies are off leash in a safe environment and the staff is warm, knowledgeable and responsive. We did the Training Program and Samantha is patient, smart and a wonderful trainer and human. We recommend Woofingham 10/10 and just bought an additional daycare package. They truly love dogs and our dog Sammy is much better behaved and happy as a result of us investing in Woofingham.

We were so nervous about where to take our new puppy for socialization, but after speaking with Pam and meeting the team, we were confident we made the right choice. Even though our puppy spent the first few weeks nervous being dropped off (separation), it made it all the more apparent how important socialization was. 5 weeks later, our puppy is confident, less bitey, and she leaps out of our arms to get into the play area every time we drop her off. If you're ever unsure if this place is right, just stop by and spend 5 minutes watching drop off happen in the morning- it is an endless parade of parents pulling up while the dogs leap out of the car and sprint to the yard without a look back. Pam and her team have this dialed in and we couldn't be more grateful.

Excellent four-week puppy -and-owner training classes that are conducted outdoors in a very nice yard area with play structures, turf, trees and sail shades overhead. Attendees are given very clear and easy- to-do training homework to practice between weekly classes. The puppies in class also attend socialization sessions where they get to play freely with other puppies while being supervised by staff. Samantha Mears the head trainer and owner is so knowledgeable and professional and fun to learn from! She makes the classes fun! You will laugh and have a great time. The Woofingham staff members are very caring and expert in their handling of the puppies. Our puppy is a bit on the shy side and the staff paid special attention to him during the socialization sessions. All Woofingham puppies have to show their proof of vaccinations and so forth so that you know your puppy is safe from disease there.
Highly recommend this combo of socialization sessions + formal training class. If you want your dog to be well-trained, obedient and wonderful and you are starting with a puppy, this place is the best.
