The Dog Institute of Williamsburg

Liz and the dog institute are the A team. My bulldog puppy absolutely loves the institute. The trainers and care team are kind, loving, responsible, fun and firm. Liz helped teach my puppy key techniques after she was having issues walking on the leash and obeying commands. Using positive reinforcement and a disciplined method she had my puppy doing both in no time. My favorite part is the puppy play and train where puppies get to cuddle and play in a cozy room under observation. They also do boarding and it’s such a relief to know she’s happy in their care. She has made so many friends here. I can’t thank the dog institute enough!

The team at The Dog Institute for Williamsburg were essential for my pup's training and development. We learned basic commands, impulse control, crate and tethering best practices, and learn to walk outside on a lead. The most interesting training we did was the use of a "clicker" to help calm and focus our dog. The results are amazing. The services that DIW have to offer are great too. Our dog loved the Play and Train sessions where he got to play with other dogs his age. Highly recommended.

We did a virtual training session for our dog Dandy. We were a little worried about virtual at first but Elizabeth was patient and made it so easy! Elizabeth is super knowledgeable and really fun. We had some issues with Dandy not really wanting to work with the chew toys we prepared but Elizabeth was able to quickly change course and find another way forward that was suitable for him and us. We’re still training with Dandy but have made a ton of progress and We are so glad we were able to work with our dog and The Dog Insitute! I can’t recommend them enough!

Atlanta, GA 04 2/24/2021 As a first time puppy owner, I felt like I was in way over my head and constantly stressed out. I didn't feel like I had the proper tools or resources to adequately train my puppy and spent hours watching YT videos/researching how to train puppies to no avail. That's when DIW came into the picture. Elizabeth and the DIW saved my life (kind of exaggerating but not really)! Elizabeth taught me the proper tools, techniques, and most importantly how to restructure my puppy's and my daily schedules to make life more manageable. I really appreciated how encouraging Elizabeth was during our virtual training sessions and how quickly she responded/provided appropriate feedback based on how my puppy and I were interacting. Elizabeth is truly an amazing and knowledgable trainer who not only knows her stuff but is also sensitive to the needs of each dog/owner. The DIW play and train sessions were also the most amazing thing that happened to my puppy and me. I love that my puppy gets to have the time of her life socializing with other pups while refining the skills that she's been learning with superstar trainers at DIW. Knowing that my puppy is in good hands at the DIW frees up my mind to also enjoy the time off I get on those days! I also love that the DIW provides cute and high quality videos/photo updates of my puppy during her time at play and train sessions. Overall, I highly recommend the DIW and Elizabeth!
