Play group with Ivar, Griffey, Ella, Ellie, Jaz, Coco, Copper, Barley, and Quincy. These dogs meet weekly and they’re already besties.

We don’t do free for all play. Every group is trainer supervised, and we match dogs by energy, play style, and comfort level so it stays safe, structured, and productive.

Baylee is mastering that heel command

This is what consistent reps look like. Calm focus, clean position, and real teamwork on leash. When heel gets solid, everything gets easier, walks, outings, and obedience in real life.

Meet Penelope 🐾

Penelope is a 5 month old Golden Retriever and she’s already off to an amazing start. She’s doing private one on one sessions plus Fido Fit Day Training, and this is exactly why starting early matters.

When we build structure now, you don’t end up chasing bad habits later. We focus on calm behavior, real life obedience, and teaching pups how to make better choices as they grow.

Rocket Dog Academy offers
Stay and Train
Private one on ones
Fido Fit Day Training
Group classes

Meet Joan!
She’s been coming in for private sessions and doing Fido Fit Day Training, and she’s picking things up fast. Smart, eager, and always ready to work, you can literally see the progress each visit.

This is what happens when a dog gets structure, reps, and the right kind of guidance.

Meet Ira, your compact Belgian Malinois with old soul energy

DOB: 2-1-2022
57 lbs
Moderate energy and drive
Mount Vernon WA

Ira is currently here at Rocket Dog Academy getting structure, training, and real world reps while he waits for his person. If you want a dog with personality, brains, and a calm thoughtful vibe, Ira might be your guy. He is smaller framed with a sweet frosted muzzle, but he is still all Malinois in the best way. He loves having a job, loves being included, and builds a strong bond with his handler.

What Ira loves:
Nosework and scent games
Hiking and outdoor adventures
Training and learning
Toy engagement and working with his person
Mental stimulation and being part of the team

He will thrive as:
Hiking companion
Nosework or scent sport dog
Adventure buddy
Active, structured companion

Ira already knows recall, place, and pretty, with great focus and toy engagement. Like many smart working dogs, he can get curious and follow his nose, so he does best with someone who can calmly redirect and keep the conversation going.

Dog social notes
He is generally neutral with most dogs but tends to come in enthusiastic on intros, so structured introductions are important. Best home is no cats or small pets.

If you are looking for a smart, funny, affectionate sidekick who can work and also settle, Ira is ready.

This is Stella, She’s gone from overstimulated and unsure to calmer, clearer, and way more confident. With consistent communication and clear boundaries, she’s learning how to channel her energy and stay neutral in situations that used to hype her up.

She’s still learning, but she shows up and tries harder every day and we’re really proud of her progress at Rocket Dog Academy. 🐾
