    Super reactive GSD Help! We've had a handful of trainers and while we know it is US that needs the training, we haven't found training that stuck until we found Rosa at Wonder Dog Training. Rosa heard what we wanted to accomplish and helped us do it. Our intentions were only to have a normal walk where our GSD didn't try to eat anything and everything that walked by. Rosa gave us tons of tips on how to distract and re-direct. We did a total of 6 training sessions with Rosa. We still have work to do, of course, but with the tools she's given us, walks are so much more pleasant. https://youtube.com/shorts/by7QNMzbOPI?si=AZXyl6-QSz_9eMqe

    We rescued a dog knowing she had behavioral issues (reactivity, poor impulse control, high arousal that resulted in play biting, etc.). We were naive to think we could handle training on our own and after a couple of fights between our two dogs, we knew we needed professional help which led us to Wonder Dog Training. We worked with Jonathan and we are so incredibly pleased by Daisy's transformation! She's like a completely different dog after all the training we've done. She walks nicely on a leash now, we can take her to public places with confidence, she has an incredible amount of impulse control compared to when we first took her home, and most importantly, Jonathan helped repair the trust and relationship between our two dogs (they're now best friends which we never thought would happen after a couple of rough incidents). We're so grateful for Jonathan's help and expertise! Daisy is now living her best life and we finally have peace at home.

    HUGE HUGE thanks to Julie for being such an amazing trainer. I got my dog Lucy from the humane society on April 1, and she was super sick and terrified of everything at first. I couldn't even get her on a leash, she would run away and hide from me, and i couldn't even begin to train her on anything. Julie taught me the skills i needed to succeed with Lucy, and she's opened up so much from it. We're able to go on walks, and have made great progress in all other areas of her training. I couldn't have done it without her help, and would never have been able to work with her without Wonder Dog.

    We reached out to Wonder Dogs before even bringing our labradoodle puppy home about dog boarding, knowing we would have a long trip when our puppy was 5 months old and we wanted to know he'd be in good hands. After speaking with Colean on the phone about how it works with in home dog boarding, we knew we would want him to stay with her for our trip. He boarded with Colean for 2 1/2 weeks in her home and had the BEST time. Colean sent several photos and videos every day of Leo getting snuggles, playing with other dogs, or relaxing around her home. She also kept him brushed for us and helped to keep him mat-free. Our puppy had an amazing socialization experience with lots of new positive dog experiences that he had never had before due to his young age. He came home happy and healthy. Colean is someone who LOVES dogs and creates an environment for all dogs to have a positive, safe, and FUN experience while boarding.

    The guys!

    Let me recommend Kylie, aka the Yum-Yum Lady, highly to you for training your dogs. She has trained not only the dogs with "yummy" treats, but also us with firm commands. There is no confusion on what she expects from us. All of us, two dogs and my husband & I, all put 100% effor in to following her direction during training sessions and between sessions. Did I also tell you that she is super friendly and fun too. One of the keys to Kyle's success is that not only does she train your dogs but she trains you. She enforces the importance of consistency of commands and the logic behind them. Through Kyle's guidance our dogs have become more responsive and attentive.

    ** no more obnoxious dogs in this household** Thanks to Jonathon we have nipped these bad behaviors in the bud: * stealing food from the table * food aggression * unruly barking * jumping on strangers * Play biting * wandering off * ignoring me when I call her name It's no secret that small dogs are notorious for being naughty. I needed a trainer for my Pomeranian puppy and I needed one STAT. I researched many trainers and was most impressed with Wonder Dog Training. Our trainer, Jonathon, provided a solid foundation for my girl. He taught her good habits AND involved me in the process. It was of the utmost importance to me to train her using positive reinforcement- so many trainers I researched used shock collars, etc which I was not going to use on my small dog. Rather Kaya learned via praise, facial expressions, treats, and precise clicker/treat-to-mouth timing. I'm still working on that one... My pup is now proficient in "good girl" behaviors including + recall + potty training + sit/stay/break/free +walking on leash + safe and appropriate interaction with dogs and people + Even some agility! We practiced these skills in my house and successfully progressed to public areas. 5 sessions worked great for me and I will definitely be calling Jonathon again to reinforce her training. Thank you so much!!!

    For the first time in years, we had to look into overnight boarding options for not one, but two of our dogs. Both of our dogs have been trained by another trainer in the past, but unfortunately dropping them off with them would have been too far out of the way for us. So, I started searching on Yelp for more nearby options. I sent in an inquiry to Wonder Dog and was quickly contacted by Colean. Our dogs aren't particularly problematic or have socialization issues, but we wanted someone who could hold our dogs to the same standards that we do but also make sure they got the attention and understanding that they needed for their individual little quirks. After speaking with Colean through text and later on the phone, I already had a good feeling that our dogs would be in good hands. Things were solidified after we were able to have a meet and greet with her and the dogs that reside at her home. While we were away Colean gave us ample video and photo updates of our dogs having a wonderful time at her place playing, down to getting ready for bed. Our dog even needed minor medical attention and she was able to take care of it the same day. We are so glad that we found her, and we would not hesitate to reach out to her for another overnight boarding in the future or perhaps a day of doggy daycare.

    I came across Wonder Dog Traning by complete chance. I did a google search out of frustration. I have had dogs my whole life yet never had one that was leash reactive. We previous worked with another trainer ( different company ) the methods used were simply not right for us. I filled out a quick questionnaire and I am telling you I got a message within 30 minutes. This company is on it and they care !! We were paired with Jonathan and from the very start we knew we had the right fit. Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge. He has taught us so much over our 7 sessions. Each session is so thorough and packed with information. We have learned so much and Scout is more confident, comfortable and relaxed as a result. We have tools for life !! Thank you Jonathan for everything you have done for us and our Boston terrier family :) I can not recommend Jonathan enough !!

    Thank you Jonathan!

    See all
