The Academy

Find Services

Find dog professionals and services with confidence.

Understand trainers, behaviour professionals, veterinarians, groomers, boarding, daycare, walkers, rehabilitation, clubs, and other dog services — and learn how to choose the right fit for your team.

The Academy helps people understand their options and research professionals carefully. It does not choose for them.

How to Use This Directory

A neutral directory — not a ranking

The Academy helps you find and compare services using consistent information. Paid Partner Profiles are easier to understand because they include more verified structured details, but payment never moves a provider ahead of another.

  • The Academy gathers publicly available service information into one searchable place.
  • Some listings are unclaimed.
  • Claimed status confirms management authority only.
  • Paid Partner Profiles provide more structured information, richer presentation, and a direct website path.
  • Payment does not change ranking.
  • Search results use filters, relevant distance where available, and alphabetical ordering.
  • Members should conduct their own research before hiring any provider.
  • The Academy does not endorse a provider merely because a profile is claimed or paid.

"You are not paying to be seen first. You are paying to be understood better."

The Academy organizes service information to make research easier. Listings, claims, paid profiles, credentials, and questionnaire answers do not constitute an Academy endorsement. Members should verify current qualifications, insurance, policies, availability, pricing, and suitability directly.
