Canโ€™t say enough great things about Wonder Dog and our trainer Emily! My dog and my partners dog were moving in together and are both older, bigger, territorial-ish females who had been in a fight before (German shepherd & Alaskan malamute). We wanted to make sure they were both as comfortable as possible, and Emily gave us so many great exercises to ensure this! We did 4 sessions with Emily, and our dogs have grown leaps and bounds in that short time. Food and toy defensiveness is so much better, and they can finally be relaxed around each other.

Dogs are always a work in progress - and you need to put in a lot of time outside of training, of course - but it was so worth it! Emily blew me away with how easily she could pick up on very small movements and cues from the dogs, and adjusted swiftly and accordingly if things didnโ€™t go as planned. She also gave us options...

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Yay! That's such wonderful news, Alison! You were wise to seek training for your dogs ahead of your move. It's important to get help before aggression escalates since "resetting" their manner of engaging generally becomes more difficult after multiple negative encounters. Emily is such...

My 9-month old mini schnauzer was doing great with her commands, but needed support around reactivity. We had previously worked with a different trainer and it wasn't the right method for my pup, so I searched for trainers who specialize in reactivity and I lucked out with Swetlana. Lana showed up to the first session and had such a positive interaction with my pup, she came prepared for handouts to help me in-between sessions and used every minute of our time together to train me and my pup. Lana has a calm and soothing demeanor which was great for my dog and me! She never once made me feel like a failure for having a dog that is reactive, but gave me tools to help calm/relax my pup. She also was available in-between sessions to help answer questions, provide feedback, and support. I went from a dog who couldn't walk by a person or a dog without barking and/or lunging to a dog who... Read more >

I can't say enough great things about Wonder Dog Training. We had Emily as our trainer and she had such extensive knowledge of dog behavior and training that it was really amazing to get to learn from her. The amount of information she was able to gain during the evaluation, just based on what we had to say and the observation of how our dogs were acting was so impressive. We started with 7 sessions and ended up having 9, we will probably add on a few more in some months for refreshers. I appreciated that we were given information to review and keep to refer back to. I'd say that the training is really for the pet parents most of all, because you are the one that needs to put the work in and make sure you are putting what you learned into practice. Again, our experience with Emily is more than we could have asked for. I will absolutely be recommending her and Wonder Dog Training to... Read more >
