I loved that the videos were bite-sized and focused on the key pieces of information I need to practice with my dog.

My cat loves to scratch and Petcademy helped me identify ways to direct my cat to scratch things other than my couch! Hershey is happy and so am I.

My dog can be very reactive on leash and Petcademy recommendations were really actionable. We also loved learning 2-ball fetch!
