Wonder Puppy

Pet Services

Wonder Puppy uses reward-based training methods that are gentle, reliable and fun. All of our techniques are nurturing and we specialize in Clicker Training. So, it's safe to start training as soon as you bring your puppy home--even puppies as young as 8 weeks of age. There are many parallels between puppies and children. That aside, dogs in our society need to know more than what their mothers can teach them. Left to their own, dogs raise their puppies to be like the wolves they descend from. But it’s a “human’s world” out there, and dogs need to “belong” in their human families. Instead of raising puppies to become like wolves, we parent them to become our companions, teaching them to co-exist with us according to human norms. Read more

    We have been taking our puppy to Wonder Puppy since he was 9 weeks old, first in the WoGo Socialization class, and then he just graduated from Good Puppy at 4 months old. All the trainers there are great. We learned a lot about dog behavior and body language and how to read our puppy in WoGo and then in Good Puppy we learned how to be good puppy parents, how to deal with unwanted behaviors, and how to shape and reinforce good behaviors/skills. Terri was our trainer in Good Puppy and she was great! She obviously cares about all the puppies and really wants them all to succeed. She spent lots of time going around to each individual puppy for personalized attention/help, which we really appreciated. I also liked that they continued on with the socialization to sights/sounds in Good Puppy. I would definitely recommend Wonder Puppy, and have already signed up for 2 more classes.

    We love Wonder Puppy! The kind folks at WP have helped teach us the skills we need to give our pup a great start. There are a lot of training methods out there and the positive training at WP has been perfect for us. Highly recommend!

    These folks know their stuff. You and your puppy will be in good hands at Wonder Puppy. I've had many puppy's throughout my life and gone to other puppy training places when I lived in California. W.P's approach was much better, geared to my pups needs and personality as opposed a generic class.
    The play groups were also very insightful teaching us how to advocate for our dogs if they are a bit shy. Loved Terri and Kira.

    Super happy with our experience. Our dog was already getting the basics before we started going, but he's a much much better dog after graduating. Terrie did a great job working with us and our dog.
