The Highest Standard of Service
We know your pup is family, and we have a passion for extending the same level of care and love towards your pet at our home. The Canine Academy Care Team commits to providing the highest standard of service to every dog at our facility. With fewer than 25 kennels on site, our Care Team gets to know each dog individually.
This team works around the clock to ensure your pup is content, loved, and feeling right at home.

Meet Canine Academy’s Care Team Lead
Chloe Scott is an Animal Science graduate from Lancaster High School, class of 2023, where she served as the FFA Sentinel for the 2022-2023 term. Her passion for working with animals led her to join Canine Academy in the spring of 2023. Prior to this, she gained valuable experience as a veterinary assistant at ValuVet Wellness from 2020 to 2022. Chloe has a reputation for her dedication and creativity, often seen enthusiastically running circles around dogs to capture the perfect WOW photo. She loves all dogs, big and small, but has a special place in her heart for golden retrievers! Peaches Marie, as pictured, is the newest member of her Golden Girls!
Throughout her FFA career, Chloe earned her Greenhand and Chapter Degrees and remains actively involved as an FFA Alumni member. She demonstrated her expertise by placing 36th at both the Ohio State FFA Vet Science CDE in 2023 and the Animal Management CDE in 2022.
In her personal time, Chloe enjoys music, particularly Post Malone, as well as photography, reading, utilizing her green thumb, training her dogs, and spending time with her animals.

Meet Canine Academy’s Resident Manager
Jacey Wentz, her fiance Seth, and their menagerie make sure campus is safe at all hours of the day. Before becoming resident manager, Jacey worked as a Kennel Technician on our Care Team where she worked diligently to ensure every dog on our property was cared for while not in training; she continues to train dogs in her role as manager.
Jacey’s passion for dogs originated from her childhood pup, Milo, and while she might try to convince you her favorite animal is a dog, her pet snake would likely disagree.
Jacey believes dog training is important because it provides your dog with mental stimulation while building confidence and helping both dog and owner better understand one another. Jacey’s favorite part of being a dog trainer is seeing the positive change every dog and owner go through after staying on our campus. Jacey is most proud of her her experience working with a dog that was scared of new people and the kennel. Through intentional obedience training, Jacey was able to eliminate this behavior by creating confidence and building communication with the dog. At the end of the training, he enjoyed meeting new people and was no longer afraid of his kennel.
In her free time, Jacey enjoys fishing, spending time outdoors and with her pups, Loki and Finny, or taking care of her “zoo.”
In Loving Memory …
Canine Academy’s CFO
(Chief Fetching Officer)
Nyla was Canine Academy’s resident Dutch Shepard. You could find her soaking up the attention of any staff member or customer in the Canine Academy offices. A former working dog, skilled in both narcotics detection and personal protection, Nyla enjoyed her retirement years full of naps, pets, and play. The way to this old gal’s heart was with a tennis ball. And the Canine Academy team was always very happy to oblige our girl.
Nyla crossed the rainbow bridge in May of 2024. We mourn her passing with a promise to honor her life by living her credo, “there’s aways time for another toss.”
