We just finished our training with Rosa a couple of weeks ago, and we are very happy! My husband and I adopted a 9 month old puppy mix, and he was very shy, which led to him barking and growling at the smallest things, people walking by the window, and other dogs. He was potty trained on pads with his foster family so we were having potty accidents inside our home.

Rosa taught our Oso basic obedience, potty training, and elevated his confidence. During our first lesson, he barked and would not go near Rosa. Throughout our 6 lessons, Oso loved Rosa and would greet her at the door. Our last lesson really showed us how much he improved. We went to a public park and we forgot to bring treats, as he is very food motivated. There were horses, people, and other dogs at the park. He did great!!! No barking or growling, just occasional huffing, which we're okay with, and Rosa even...

I just wanted to share my amazing experience with Dawn at Wonder Dog Training. It was a critical time in our family as we were at our wits end when our two male labradors (littermates) were neutered at the same time and upon returning home turned on one another like they were fierce enemies. They were bonded prior to the neutering but I believe due to the separation, the medication and the testosterone fluctuations it sent them over the edge. My family and I spent weeks keeping the dogs apart, one inside and one outside at all times, at night during sleeping hours one upstairs and one downstairs which was at times impossible because eventually natured called and they had to go outside and most of the time it was at the same time and at 3am. Uggh! After losing sleep for many nights, we called our vet and they referred us to Wonder Dog. Dawn came within days to our home, accessed the...

It must be such a relief to have calm and peace in your home again after such a stressful and exhausting time. Situations like this can turn life upside down quickly, and we're glad you reached out...

can't say enough good things about Wonder Dog Training and Melissa! We started working with her when our Rottie mix puppy was 20 weeks old, focusing on basic skills like walking and general obedience.
What really stood out was how engaging the training was for both me and my pup. Melissa didn't just teach standard commands – she was creative and helpful in addressing our specific needs, even helping us train our dog to do non-conventional tasks like drying his mouth after drinking water!
Our dog is now 8 months old, and we continue to use the techniques Melissa taught us. He's absolutely thriving! The foundation she helped us build has made such a difference in our daily lives.
If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, personable, and truly invested in your dog's success, I highly recommend Wonder Dog Training!

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Amaaazing! Thank you for your kind words! Wow — drying his mouth after drinking water?! That’s next-level adorable… and such a Melissa move! šŸ˜„ We’re thrilled that you and your Rottie mix had such a creative, connected training experience. Melissa makes training fun for everyone -- and pours her...

Melissa trained our black mini Poodle. We got him at 4 months and she helped us not only with the basic commands but configuring our home so that he would be successful. She gave us a ton of resources but most importantly she helped us to understand our dogs needs and how we could avoid habits or behaviors later on ( I was particularly concerned with his reactivity door manners and chewing) with the skills he learned now.

The training is very play based and our little guy jumped for joy whenever we had a session (her treats were always more magical than ours !). And even though we’ve reached the end of the session because of the training she gave us as the owners, we will still do training sessions with the skills we learned to keep him active happy and playful.

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Katie, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing how your little poodle not only learned his skills but had a blast doing it. šŸŽ‰ Melissa’s play-based style (and yes, those ā€œmagicalā€ treats! šŸ˜‰) always makes training such a positive experience, and it’s clear you’ve carried that...

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Wonder Dog Training and specifically, Miriam. She watches our three Boston Terriers when we travel out of town and we have never felt more comfortable knowing because we know they are staying in a safe and loving home. Miriam communicates exceptionally well. She sends us daily updates over text and includes photos and videos of the pups. It is very reassuring to know how much Miriam loves them. They get very excited when we pull up to her home and They may just like her backyard more than ours. Highly recommend using Wonder Dog Training. We prefer it over boarding, especially with one of our senior dogs who is blind. It’s a quieter stay for the pups and they love it. We’d give Miriam and Wonder Dog Training ten stars if we could.

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Yay! Your review made our day, Allyson! šŸ’• Thank you for your kind words and for entrusting us (and the amazing Miriam!) with your beloved Boston Terriers. It means the world to know that you feel such comfort and peace of mind when your pups are with her — and we agree, she is truly exceptional...

We can not say enough good things about Wonderdogs and our trainer Corrina Babiash-Clark. Corrina was excellent and so caring right from the start. She visited us at home to meet Charli our then 14 week old Australian Doodle. Charli immediately took to Corrina as did we. We booked Charli in for a four week stay with Corrina, there was a concern that being only 16 weeks at the time that the training might be limited. However four weeks later Charli came home a new dog. She was now knows all the basics, comes when she was called, sits and lays down on command. Corrina also did a lot of socializing with Charli taking her on car rides, meeting other dogs, going to the beach and taking her out shopping etc. This has made Charli very comfortable and confident in any situation. When Charli came home Corrina provide us a with a useful manual and took time to train us with two sessions to...

Our now 4 1/2 month old lab came home a few days ago from his 2 week puppy training and boarding with Corrina and he learned so much! We’ve now wrapped up one of the after boarding sessions which was also so helpful for him and us! We now have a calmer and more focused puppy that’s eager to learn and follow the boundaries she’s helped us to set and we’re more confident with continuing his training here at home. He loves her so much and was so excited to see her when she came for the first follow-up! We feel like we’ve found a lifelong puppy pal and trainer in her and will feel so confident he’ll be in the best hands when he stays with her for future trips we’ll be taking. Thank you so much Corrina, we appreciate you!

Wonder Dog Training Replied: Hi Dana! This made our day — thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so happy to hear how well your little lab did during his board & train with Corrina! It’s amazing to see how much growth happens in just two weeks, and we’re thrilled you’re feeling more confident at home too. That’s...
