Lori, Marty and Alyssa were fantastic! My rescue Charlie is a completely different dog from our first session in the Fall of 2025. Their patience, understanding and discipline were exactly what we needed. I’m overly pleased with the training we received at Puppy-Wuppy. Thank You

Awesome class! Super helpful training tips and a great environment. My dog improved a lot—definitely recommend. Lori and Nicole are amazing.
We have been going to Puppy Wuppy with our golden retriever puppy Charles!! We absolutely love it there and the training has been SO helpful for our wild little guy. We are in the Puppy Foundations class and love that they limit the class to 4 dogs - it really feels like we can get individual attention. Highly recommend puppy wuppy and we look forward to more training there in the future!

UPDATED REVIEW: Puppy Wuppy Dog Training and Lori have been great to work with.. I attended classes for four years with my german shepherd Gretchen who recently passed, who was truly amazing and is deeply missed. I now have a new pup Maxine, we’ve started training with Lori again, and it’s been just as positive. Maxine is doing great in class, and we’re so pleased with her progress. Lori is knowledgeable, patient, and continues the same supportive environment we’ve always appreciated. Highly recommend Puppy Wuppy to anyone looking for quality dog training! *********************************************************** I have been bringing Gretchen to Puppy Wuppy for two years now. She was VERY reactive towards other dogs, skittish with people, loud noises, and sudden movements. On our first day of training, I glanced over to the other class that was in session interact with their dogs and would think there is NO WAY Gretchen would ever get to the point where she could be off leash and have a solid recall, and not react towards other dogs. I am BEYOND happy with the outcome of Gretchen’s training. With Lori’s training knowledge and endless amount of patience with Gretchen (and me), she is now able to control her reactivity towards other dogs and to work through her nervousness. Gretch has come such long way since the first day I brought her to class. Kudos to all the trainers at Puppy Wuppy for what they do to help all our fur babies become the best they can be and still have fun while doing it! I would and do HIGHLY recommended Puppy Wuppy to all that ask!

*Edited to update: We got another puppy this past year who is now going to Puppy Wuppy and PST with Nicole and Lori. He is thriving and they really helped me through some hard separation anxiety. He is doing so well and I continuously learn new things with Mowgli and Nemo! Puppy Wuppy has been an absolute game-changer for both me and my puppy,Mowgli. From the age of 16 weeks to now at 8 months, Kaitlyn has been our trainer and support. Her expertise and patience shine through every session. The group classes have been instrumental in laying down the foundation of obedience, and with each passing week, we've witnessed a lot of progress. Kaitlyn's knowledge extends beyond just training; she's been a constant source of support, addressing not only my training questions but also the millions of puppy-related questions I've had, as this is my first puppy on my own. Enrolling Mowgli into the play stay train program at 5 months was one of the best decisions I made. The transformation in his commands and overall demeanor has been astounding. Everywhere we go, compliments pour in about his behavior, a testament to Kaitlyn's dedication and Puppy Wuppy's effectiveness. Leaving Mowgli in Kaitlyn's care for the play stay train program has been great; I know he's in the best hands possible. The settling in his crate at home has improved drastically, thanks to the program. Mowgli adores his "school time" at Puppy Wuppy, and his affection for Kaitlyn speaks volumes. The detailed reports and videos Kaitlyn provides after each session are invaluable, allowing me to track Mowgli's progress and learn alongside him. Puppy Wuppy and Kaitlyn have exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch training and care for their furry companions.
