Book an appointment
At Active Paws Academy, we offer two convenient ways to get started on your dog’s training journey. Whether you’re looking for a personalized in-home evaluation or want to jump into one of our group training sessions, we’ve got you covered.
Book a Free Home Evaluation
Start with a comprehensive, in-home evaluation to assess your dog’s behavior and training needs. Our expert trainers will visit your home, evaluate your dog’s behavior, and help you determine the best training plan moving forward. This is a great option if you're unsure of where to begin or if your dog has specific behavior challenges that need attention.
Book a Group Training Session
Join our fun and structured group training sessions across Miami and Broward. These 90-minute classes are perfect for socializing your dog while reinforcing obedience in a supportive environment. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and exhibit good behavior in social settings.
About Us
Hi, I’m Abby, the proud founder of Active Paws Academy. My passion for dog training began with my own dog, King. Like many dog owners, I struggled to find a trainer who truly listened and helped me get the results I wanted. That all changed when I met Uncle Jess, better known as “Your Dog’s Favorite Uncle.” Under Jess’s guidance, I discovered the Talking Dog Method—an approach that focuses on behavior rather than verbal commands, allowing dogs to thrive through understanding and clear communication. After working as an apprentice under Jess, I decided to launch my own training business to help others unlock their dog’s potential just like I did with King.
Our mission is simple: to help dog owners achieve real results by focusing on behavior rather than words. Using the Talking Dog Method, we teach dogs through their natural instincts and patterns, creating clear and effective communication without relying on constant verbal commands. This unique approach allows us to open up a world of possibilities for dogs and their owners, helping them build a deeper, more balanced relationship.
Group Training Sessions
Group training is an excellent option for dogs just starting their training journey or those looking to reinforce skills in a more social setting. It's a great way to help your dog learn to stay calm and controlled around other dogs while building essential obedience skills in a structured, fun environment.
However, group training isn’t suitable for every dog. If your dog tends to be reactive or struggles in group settings, we recommend exploring our one-on-one sessions for more focused attention on your dog's specific needs.
Each group training session lasts 90 minutes, and we offer sessions across Miami and Broward. Our program begins with Essential Obedience Skills, perfect for laying a solid foundation for your dog’s behavior.
In-Home Training Sessions
Our in-home training sessions are perfect for dogs that need extra guidance and focused attention. We address behavioral issues and any concerns within the comfort of your home, helping your dog master the essentials in their familiar environment before expanding those skills to the outside world.
If your dog has no prior training, we offer a free at-home evaluation to assess their needs and recommend the best training plan. If you're unsure whether group training or in-home training is the right fit, booking an in-home evaluation will allow a trainer to personally guide you toward the most effective solution for your dog.
Let us help you tackle behavior at home first, setting the foundation for success everywhere else!
