Woof Academy - Encinitas, California

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!

The staff at woof academy treat our dog as we would treat her at home - they are always so excited to see her. We are big fans of the socialization/day camps and the training sessions. Pam is so wonderful and has hired such a great team of people to make it all happen. 10/10 would recommend, especially for families with puppies

This is my absolute favorite place to take my dog Nala! If you were thinking of coming here to train your dog, or to socialize your dog, do it! The trainer Pam Chandler is absolutely amazing with all done super good at reading on the dogs, body language, and good at pairing up dogs .I never feel worried, leaving my dog here as I know he is in a come back absolutely exhausted from having so much fun. And all of the puppy classes and all of the adult classes have been amazing. My dog has greatly benefited. I am so happy, where I used to have issues with my dog i do not have any of those anymore. I have been to other places in the past with my other dogs, and I wish I would’ve found this place a lot sooner because it saved me a lot of headaches .

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!!!

Woof Academy is AMAZING! Let me tell you why. A week ago, Miss Selina, one of their caregivers, was giving our dog Gracie a bath. She found a growth. Today we got Gracie in to the vet and found out that the growth is cancer. And it had doubled in size! The vet said we are very lucky that we found the growth this early - HUGE HUGE thank you's to Miss Selina!! We are very grateful! I called owner Pam at Woof today to let her know that we would need to take a little break and she bent over backward to give me hospital info and guidance for surgery options. So comforting! And tonight, Miss Selina and Miss Rachel came to our home to visit Gracie to give her love and they brought her treats! Gracie was SOOOOOO EXCITED! She loves these 2 gals so so much! It was just precious! Rachel and Selina are just amazing and so kind and thoughtful to go out of their way - thank you thank you! And, these gals are like this every time we drop Gracie for doggie play time!! Your pup will be greatly loved at Woof Academy!!

Cannot rave enough about Woof Academy. From their day camp to boarding to pack walks, they are so incredible and make us feel so great about leaving our two high energy dogs in their care. Pam teaches so many great skills when it comes to leash behavior during the Sunday Pack Walks and Rachael and Liz are so communicative and helpful when it comes to boarding and any questions we have. Couldn’t not recommend them enough

We've been taking our golden retriever puppy (Kea) to Woofingham Palace for the past few months and I cannot say enough good things about this place. We enrolled Kea in the Royal Puppy Training class with unlimited socialization classes. We were worried that Kea was starting to get separation anxiety since she wasn't often left alone and the socialization classes really helped with this. Kea got to run around and play with other puppies her age for 3 hours 3x a week and BONUS she came home all tired out and ready for a nap. The training classes have been helpful to teach her new commands (sit, leave it, watch me, etc.) and we're planning to enroll in an upcoming intermediate class as well. The staff at Woofingham Palace are responsive and absolutely incredible. They have a true passion for animals and it feels so great knowing Kea is in such great hands. I would highly recommend Woofingham Palace to anyone looking for dog socialization/training.

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.
