Turns out our Dog Academy family is interested in our vacation outings and we don't mind sharing. (I'll do better next year)

Shaun and I are a blended family. Shaun brought 4 children with him into my life and I have one. Visitation is limited to the school vacations and near holidays.

In Dec 2020/Jan '21 we enjoyed learning from all St. Augustine has to offer
Dec '21/Jan '22 was sort of a bust with plans for snow skiing around Asheville NC. Thee was a heatwave that year so we hiked and enjoyed the art side of Asheville instead.
Dec '22/Jan '23 was an amazing trip to our Nations capital! We saw everything we could see in DC and the kids got to experience their first airplane rides.
Dec '23/Jan '24 was slow with a horseback ride through Aiken SC's Hitchcock Woods on New Years Day.
This year, most of the kids opted for presents instead of a trip so we pulled out the decorations we could find and had Christmas Day on the 27th, complete with rib roast and 4 desserts!

If you have utilized Dog Academy for any training, boarding, or day care this year then you have showed our small, local, (woman owned) business love ❤️ and we want to thank you!

We hope 2025 is your best year to date. May your life be full of peace and happiness.

* Keep those puppers INDOORS as much as possible this evening and tonight to avoid fear from fireworks* Feed, water, and bed them early! Have a safe New Year's Eve 🐾🐾🐾

Christmas Day was beautiful outside here in the sunshine state! Dogs ran free and frolicked while Shaun (hunted) and he and I wrapped gifts, packed the vehicles, and made other preparations for our upcoming Christmas vacation/celebration. I went to bed EARLY on the 25th and woke EARLY (2am) to finish wrapping and packing before the day began at 4am.

Shaun and I will be celebrating our Christmas with 4 of our 5 children, tomorrow, the 27th after driving up to SC, today, and decorating tonight. After a big breakfast, complete with hot cocoa, a Rib roast is on our Christmas supper menu tomorrow and the children will each provide a dessert. (Let the dieting begin in the New Year 😂)

We returned from our last vacation on October 20 and have worked every day and night, since.
Michelle and Crystal will be holding down the fort while we take some much needed vacation and family time. We are super grateful that Michelle stays at our home to watch and listen overnights while continuing to work the days. Crystal also works to keep the house, yard, and doggys clean, giving Michelle a few hours of relief.

We will return after the New Year, energized and ready to hit the floor running on January 6! We have a list of trainees to begin and are excited to roll out the red carpet with our new programs.

We wouldn’t be successful without YOU, our beloved clients and doggies! We truly cherish you guys and gals, 2 legged and 4! Thank you for yet another year of supporting Dog Academy. We honestly couldn’t do it without your continued support and care. We will miss every single one of you and look forward to seeing you again in 2025!

PS) Shaun will do his best to keep up with the doggie cam videos while out of state. This is our fist time going away while managing it, so it’ll be a learning experience. Michelle, I’m sure, will send some pictures and videos of the boarders/daycare while we are gone.

TRAINING:
A Learning Day will precede Board and Train & Day School Training to help further educate our clients to provide a better foundation for the relationship with their companion. No dogs will attend the Learning Day but light snacks, homemade cookies, coffee, and drinks will be served.

We will continue to offer the 5 OR 10 week Board & Train option and the 5 OR 10 week Day School option but they both will come with Unlimited Group Classes and (3) Private Lessons. (Basic for 5 week, Advanced for 10 week).

3 New Programs will launch! First, we will bring back Group Classes! These classes will be Unlimited and held on Sunday afternoons. Secondly, Basic training package with (6) Private, in home lessons and Unlimited Group Classes and an Advanced training package includes (6) Private "out and about" lessons and Limited Advanced Group Classes.

-Fur-Ever support (has been and will continue to be available to assist you and your dog)
-AKC testing (has been and will continue to be available in the different stages of your dog's training adventure)
-Only clients with dog(s) trained at Dog Academy will have the ability to attend the exclusive in-home environment Day Care and Boarding. This is to maintain a Dog Academy Family atmosphere for the happiness of all. *Current clients are Grandfathered!

MISCELLANEOUS:
A (monthly?)* newsletter will be sent to our Dog Academy Family for Tips & Tricks to help along the journey with your faithful pal and to give you updates on the happenings at DA. *We reserve the right to make this a quarterly newsletter instead of monthly. 😂

Though Electronic Collars are a rarity at Dog Academy, we are highly skilled in their use as a training tool. A rare percentage of the dogs/owners NEED this specific tool but in case you are interested, we will offer a couple of brands for rent so you may try them for yourself before you decide if you want to buy. An evaluation of your dog and LESSONS of the usage of e-collars must have taken place before they will be rented to you!

Exit bathing will be available 6 days per week, which will include bath, blow-dry, nail grind/trim, ear cleaning, and brushing.

To aid you in the "second" 6 month f***l testing and Bordetella vaccination (intranasal), Dog Academy will offer these to our clients. The f***l (and most likely, the Bordetella) will not be recognized for other purposes or facilities. The 6 month requirement is for the health of Dog Academy's personal and clients and is not a substitute for the required yearly f***l exam and Bordetella vaccination from your Veterinarian. You are not required to use this extension of services, you may continue to get both 6 month f***ls and Bordetella vaccine from your Veterinarian.

BOARDING:
If your dog boards with us for 5 or more days, an exit bath will be required. Long term boarders will be bathed frequently to ensure the health, happiness, and cleanliness of Dog Academy and its guests.

Each dog will receive a free 7th night FREE when boarding with us.

Boarding rates will increase by $5 to $35 for small and $45 for large sized dogs.

DAYCARE:
$25 per day
