Katherine did a great job training me on how to train my dog. In a few short weeks he went from not knowing commands to being on his way to being a pro at Sit, Stay, Leave it, Drop it, Watch and Come. His leash skills also improved. Katherine provided great hand outs on each command which helped me further digest the information. She was responsive to any requests and you can tell she clearly loves dogs! Read more >

Wonder Dog Training Replied: That's such great news! We're so happy to hear that your dog progressed so quickly! That's quite an accomplishment! Kudos to you for doing such a great job implementing the training. Katherine truly loves dogs, and is an accomplished, dedicated trainer. I'm so glad you got to work together.

Sharon Westervelt - Virtual Dog Trainer with Wonder Dogs
My husband Jim and I have been working with Sharon Westervelt for about two months. Our puppy Cooper is going to be a big dog and we wanted him to be well behaved by the time he is full-grown.

About. 15 years ago, we worked in person with Jennifer La Bar, founder and owner of Wonder Dogs. We had such a good experience that we naturally turned to Wonder Dogs again with our new puppy.
Because of our location, we were told that in-person training was not available but virtual training was an option. We decided to try it and enjoyed it so much that we are recommending it to anyone who asks.

Sharon is such an amazing trainer - of both dogs and people! We loved working with her from the first session. Her upbeat personality and love for dogs is so evident. In addition, she is so patient and... Read more >

Katherine was great. She is so sweet and listened to what we wanted to achieve with our puppy and structured a training plan for her. We were shown what she taught our puppy so can continue training. Highly recommend Katherine as a trainer. Thanks Katherine and Wonder Dogs🐾 Read more >

We took our puppy here for 5 weeks and it was great interaction for her to be with other puppies and play. She also learned some good basic puppy life lessons from Cat who was the trainer! Would recommend to all who want their puppies to socialize and play! Read more >

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Thank you, Alina! We're so happy to hear that. Puppy class is so much fun for the pups! It's such a good, all-around interactive experience, and a well-socialized puppy makes for a calm, confident, adult dog.

Cat did an absolutely spectacular job training me and my dog :) I could not be more pleased with my decision to hire Wonder Dog and Cat to work with us. My 1 year old dog had some serious reactivity issues as well as other much needed behavioral adjustments. We had Cat here for 3 sessions and the initial consultation and it’s mind blowing how much of a difference it has made. Thank you so much! Cat is fabulous and has my most heartfelt gratitude :) Read more >

Melissa was professional and offered great positive reinforcement ideas. SNOWFLAKE was calm and relaxed by the time our 6;weeks of training were through. I definitely will be using Wonder Dog Training again if we get another dog. Read more >
