Wonder Dog Training

Wonder Dog was a great experience for us. Krystin was our trainer and she was so responsive to the needs of our family and golden retriever, Daisy. She came to each session with the tools we needed to meet our goals with Daisy. We learned how to get Daisy to wait, greet people politely, walk on a loose leash, and do some fun tricks. Working with Krystin has brought a sense of calm to our house because we now have the skills to keep Daisy under control. Read more >

My entire experience with Corrina was excellent! I was contacted almost immediately after I submitted my inquiry. Corrina took the time to chat with me over the phone, and I could tell she was going to be a great fit for our anxious cavapoo, Maverick. We boarded him with Corrina for 7 nights. She was mindful of his personality, and made sure he was comfortable and took the time to introduce him to her calm dogs. She sent us updates and photos daily, which we appreciated so much. We could tell he was comfortable and was having fun! We will definitely use Corrina again! Thank you! Read more >

Everything was simple and easy from the very first contact. Read more >

Corrina took great care of my dog despite the last minute request. She sent me daily updates and pictures, which I greatly appreciated. I would recommend her service to anyone looking for dog boarding. Read more >

Melissa is a wonderful dog trainer. She is so flexible with scheduling and my dog Dasher adored her. Thanks! Read more >

We have worked with Wonder Dog for both training and boarding since adopting our puppy, and have always had a great experience. Everyone we have worked with has been super knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative, and our dog loves her vacations with Corrina! Read more >

We contacted Wonder Dog Training through their online form and received a call almost immediately and were connected with a personal trainer and a board and trainer for our VERY energetic 9-month-old golden retriever. We've been working with trainer Krystin for the past month to help us with house obedience, people/dog greetings, loose leash walking, and recall as well as preparation for a baby on the way. Krystin is well versed in the mannerisms of golden retrievers and has been amazing with giving us the tools and the understanding to better work with our dog and have her respect us as the leaders. The tools provided were not just simple "use this to fix jumping" but instead were demonstrations of different methods, when to use them, and explanations of why the methods are used and work with how dog's minds work. Most importantly for us, her techniques focused on... Read more >

Our mini bernedoodle has completed the puppy board & train program with Corrina and we are so pleased with the care and training he received! Corrina sends daily photo updates, step by step training videos, weekly progress reports, and cares for the dogs in her care like they’re her own. Our follow up lessons have been extremely informative, our puppy is incredibly excited to see her each time, and we’re thrilled with his training progress. Corrina is as wonderful to work with as we could’ve hoped - she’s kind, extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with, and most importantly, takes excellent care of the dogs in her care! We can’t recommend Corrina enough - we continue to send our puppy to her for boarding since we know he’s in great hands while there. Read more >

I had a really good experience boarding my dog with Corrina and wonder dog training. Corrina was super responsive, helped me with all my questions, sent me pictures every day and my dog loved it with her. Really recommended!!! Thank you so much, we will see you again Read more >

We worked with Krystin for our trainer. We purchased the 7 sessions package. At the initial consult I had a list of what I wanted to accomplish with our puppy: Jumping up, digging, counter surfing, walking on the leash. Our puppy was only 3 months old when we started training sessions. She was confident we could make progress on all fronts with the issues we were having with our pooch. We just finished our 7th session with Krystin and our puppy is over 5 months old now. Its been sooooo great working with her. She has a method for everything. She spends a lot of time teaching you things to practice and what to work on. We worked on loose leash walking, recall, leave it, stay with distance, duration and distraction, name game, find it, wait for food, freeze game, place, wait at the door, socialization, red flags with other dogs, she recommended a harness which has helped with leash...

So grateful for Melissa at Wonder Dog for helping us train our mini Aussie Jax! He’s been a very challenging puppy (to say the least!) but she gave us all the tools we needed to get through it, emotional support included lol;)
Jax’s progress has been pretty awesome so far, we definitely look forward to working with her again:)) Read more >

Corrina was responsive and thoughtful and provided us with tools specific to his breed and temperament that has made a positive impact on our little pup! Our 4 month old Lab responded well to her training which has relieved a lot of our stress as a family! Read more >

We just finished our 5 week training plan with Niki. This facility was recommended by my vet and I cannot say how grateful I am for their quick responses and services!
I have a very excited, energetic, and fast dog and unfortunately we were not prepared for all of her energy. Walking was awful and something we dreaded every time. She was jumping and howling to get to every person or every dog because of how overly friendly she is. We had to use sedatives during any vet treatment because of how wiggly she was!
Niki is absolutely talented and this is definitely a field that she belongs in! She was very clear with her communication and instructions and made sure I learned everything too! We also had weekly homework that we would have to practice at least 10 minutes a day. During our evaluation, Niki asked a lot of questions and observed my pup to make the best plan possible...

I bought the good dog package of 5 private lessons. I have two wild, overly excited puppies that I was having a hard time controlling. Melissa was our trainer. She was wonderfully calm and experienced with my pups. She was able to read the dogs and react to stop a lot of the impulsive behaviors before they happened. We made a lot of progress during those 5 sessions. I’d highly recommend Melissa if you want someone who’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. Read more >

Wonder Dog training was outstanding. They matched me with a trainer named Niki. I can’t imagine a better trainer anywhere on earth. Niki is the sweetest, most patient, delightful, person and fantastic trainer. She taught my dog everything I wanted her to know, and then some. She did so in a manner that was easy for me to learn and emulate. I will continue to reach out to Niki in the future for all my dogs’ training and pet sitting needs. Niki is a sweet soul and a wonderful human being. I am very proud to call her my friend and number one dog trainer! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Read more >

Melissa worked with me and my little Australian Shepherd puppy. We worked on jumping, biting, being calm, leash walking and recall. Melissa is an excellent trainer and really good communicator with the humans as well. I enjoyed working with her and and feel fortunate to have been able to connect with her and she helped with my consistentcy in training as I worked with my dog. She is patient, very good at what she does and has a very very calm manner that I hope to emulate at some point.🤗 Read more >

I loved working with Wonder Dog training! The pricing model is clear and transparent. Niki came to our house weekly for our dog's lessons. Niki was always on time, had great suggestions for how we could help our dog become his best self, and would follow up after the lessons with tips and resources. The training we did was tailored to our dog, his needs, and what motivated him the most (snacks!). She helped us to understand how we could work with him to be a better listener. Niki gave us tools and techniques that we can use to continue to improve his skills with kindness and compassion. Read more >

After a few of weeks of training we now have a much more grounded and obedient dog. Thanks for all your amazing work Catherine! Read more >

Hello Wonder dog I must say you all are very lucky to have Cat as one of your top trainers. She worked with our golden doodle Rusty when he was little and laid down some fundamental training items that we were happy to have in our tool box. Cat in incredibly patient when working with any dog. Her knowledge is tremendous and she has several self guided notes she has created to help new dog owners. We are super thankful to know Cat.

If you are looking for a trainer that cares about your animal and will provide results she is my top choice and recommendation.

Start your new year out by requesting to work with Cat.

Thank you again. Read more >

We highly recommend Wonder Dog Training. Katherine was the best with our puppy. She helped us with all our training goals and was always available for questions. We plan to continue in the new year with more in depth training. Thanks again! Read more >

A complete godsend to a new puppy owner. I looked them up on Yelp and decided to call them and I’ve been very pleased since. I used them for dog training and now continually use Colean for dog boarding. I can tell she really loves the animals that she watches. She sends me videos throughout the day of my animal interacting with the other animals. She put my heart and mind at ease when I left Gracie with her for Thanksgiving for 6 days. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read more >

I wanted to leave a great review for Cat in Carlsbad, CA to say her puppy socializing classes are really instructive and fun!
There were always several dogs in the class and we socialized and learned some basic skills.
Definitely worth the time and money!! I would recommend to anyone hoping to socialize their puppy. Read more >

Our trainer, Janet, was awesome. We did not know what to expect and were so pleased with our experience. We learned so much about training our dog and have seen an immediate improvement. We now know what to do in different situations with our dog using a calm and kind approach. I highly recommend this company; and, specifically, our trainer, Janet Thornton. Read more >

Highly recommend Wonder Dog Training! Jonathan our dog trainer provided us with the tools we needed for our dog Maxx. We've seen so much growth from our little one in a short amount of time. Read more >

My family had a great experience with our wonder dog trainer (Emily). My puppy loved her. She was excellent with my kids. She helped us with all of our goals and was always available for advice. If one training technique was difficult for us she always had a back up idea. My puppy responded really well to our trainer as well. If I ever had a hard time getting my puppy to understand what I was asking for, our trainer was able to bridge the gap and help our puppy understand and then we would follow her demonstration. I was surprised how quickly our trainer was able to teach our puppy new things. Read more >

We had adopted a puppy from the shelter 6 months ago and soon realized we needed extra help in training her. We found Jonathan through wonder dogs and he has been amazing at helping us to train our puppy. Jonathan has done training sessions at our house, wonder dog day care and dog parks. Jonathan is very hands on and knowledgeable. He not only trains our puppy but teaches us how to train and follows up with us. Jonathan is very patient and kind to our puppy and she has turned into such a well behaved and sweet girl with Jonathan's help. I highly recommend reaching out to Jonathan at wonder dogs if you are looking for a very qualified trainer that is enjoyable to be around! Read more >

I am so glad I found wonder dog!!! We got a puppy about 6 month ago and needed help with training and daycare. I had talked to several companies but once I reached out to wonder dogs and connected with Colean I knew I had found the place!! Colean was so helpful in helping me navigate anything. Our puppy Minnie LOVES going to colean’s for day care and boarding! I think she would actually rather be there than at home!!! It’s so hard to leave your animals somewhere but I know that with Colean Minnie is in the best hands and I never worry about her! It’s also nice that I get updated pictures and videos of Minnie throughout the day! I can not recommend Wonder Dogs enough! Read more >

We worked with Janet for 5 sessions and saw huge improvements in our dogs manners and behavior. She helped us with our dogs greeting guess without barking or jumping up, coming when call, walking on a loose leash, mental stimulation games, stays, and more. Janet was a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable on gentle training techniques. We appreciated all the follow ups and handouts after each session too. Read more >

Amillie has made such a huge impact on our Beau and couldn't recommend her enough! Read more >
