About
Academy Dog Training by Haywood has had its roots here in the DC area for over 40 years! The Academy has sought to transform people's understanding that even a simple walk is a potential adventure for their pup and them. We seek to teach, both canine and human how to better communicate and learn using our 3 step balanced approach to training. Whether working with puppies or aggressive dogs, we have stood by our mission to maximize the quality of life for all dogs and their families through education. To date, the Academy has brought over 3000 dogs and their families closer together through training and physical fitness! If that relationship is not healthy then another dog is sent to a shelter or worse. We are here to make sure that doesn’t happen. Schedule a FREE evaluation today!

Excellent trainers, especially if you own a guardian breed like I do. They also have boarding, daycare, and pet supplies available. Great staff.

Haywood is excellent for any training needs. They are very patient, friendly, and caring and always ready to help. My dog pulled constantly on the leash and did not listen well when called. I noticed big differences even after the first lesson. I highly recommend Haywood's service

We've enjoyed working with Haywood. He can get my dog to do anything! We aren't done with training yet but we are well on the way.

I just wrapped up the basic obedience course with my german shepherd mix, and she is a different dog! Chai was aggressive, impulsive, reactive, and terrified of kids. In our evaluation, she was barking and snarling at a stuffed dog in their office. By the end of of the training, she was happily following instructions in a group class of over 10 dogs. The biggest thing we're walking away with is the tools to succeed. I can't recommend Haywood and his staff highly enough, they're worth every penny.
