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
core skills - Good/Great/Wonder Puppy course | Canine Good Citizen course | animal assisted therapy prep
we specialize in early puppy socialization, foundational training, and common puppy/adolescent behavior;
For pups experiencing moderate-severe reactivity, some cases may require a specialist and we want to get you the best possible service. Please reach out to the office first before booking these cases so we can help you determine the best course of action.
