Enjoy one-on-one training and coaching with a Wonder Trainer.

Private sessions are the right choice if you’d like to work on something specific — see training topics below, your puppy has a hard time learning in a group setting around other dogs and people (anxious/fearful/barky), you’re looking for a fully customized personal training experience, or you’d like a personal assessment of which class would be best for you, or would like to test in to Great or Wonder Puppy class (book a Catch-Up Session for this!)

Training Topics

  • bringing puppy home | early socialization | appropriate play | play biting | jumping | impulse control | new family members | grooming + handling | crate training | potty training | relaxation
