Wendy is absolutely great! We had hired Wendy for our then 12 weeks old Lab Mix “Basil”. Basil enjoyed “performing” his puppy bites on us frequently, and with his razor sharp puppy teeth, our underarms were very bloody quite often. We researched a lot on how to make him stop, but he wouldn’t listen to “No” in this case, he wouldn’t react to us letting out a “puppy weep”, nor was he impressed, if he got a timeout. It was, and still is extremely important to us to train our fur kid in a gentle, non-violent way. After some research we came across Wendy. We liked the fact that she had a life time experience as a dog trainer, would enable us to train our dog in a gentle way, and also that she would come to our house for the training sessions. This is important to understand: Wendy enables the dog owners to train their dogs properly, which – in our opinion – is the way it should be. In the very first session, she showed us how to make Basil stop, when he would get in his “puppy bite mood”. I must say, my wife and I were more than impressed on how great Wendy’s approach did work. It basically comes down to “gentle, but firm” correction of “misbehavior” and constant and active rewarding of good behavior by using voice and physical affection. (That is also a great thing we liked about Wendy – she doesn’t reward a dog with treats, but with voice and affection). Thanks to Wendy, Basil’s puppy bites were under control after the first session and in the following sessions, we learned so much more on how to properly train our dog and make him listen to our commands, which at one point in time might save his life (for instance him chasing a rabbit and running towards a street...). My wife and I are highly recommending Wendy! She is an outstanding and fantastic dog trainer with a wonderful personality. Both, dog and dog owner will benefit from her experience.

Wendy did an awesome job!!! She not only trained the dog within the first visit, the dogs owner (our daughter) was trained as well. She turns out to be more difficult to train than the dog regarding his behavior!!!! Thanks Wendy!!!!

Wendy's knowledge and expertise was invaluable! We had babied our dog without realizing we were letting him run the house until it was too late. Our sweet dog, Cooper, was beginning to show signs of aggression which alarmed us. Wendy helped us realize that not being true leaders for Cooper was leading to anxiety for him and negative behaviors. The best part of the Wendy's guidance was her patience with us as we learned to trust the process. She talked us through it when we doubted the process or ourselves and it was all so worth it. You must put in the work after she leaves but the results are AMAZING after only the first lesson! We are going to hire her again for even more training out in the community because we are so thrilled with all she can help us accomplish! We highly recommend her!!! You won't be disappointed if you are willing to put into place all she teaches you.

We've just started the process but I'm confident that Wendy is going to be able to train me to work appropriately with my fearful rescue dog. She gave me some great pointers and homework during our first session and I'm looking forward to future times...just couldn't do an "outstanding" yet as we've got lots of work to do before we see results. So far, Brooke has been receptive to her positive training methods.

Wendy worked with my 5 year old dog who was always afraid of the leash and had her walking comfortably within 10 minutes. She gave us lots of great advice on working with our dogs. She is genuinely concerned with having happy, obedient family dogs.
