We have been coming here for months now and couldn’t be happier. Super friendly, flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I have recommended two neighbors to come here and they love them too.

My boy Louie loves going to Wayward! He has been going for over 3 years now and he loves all his friends there…especially his trainer Krysten! She gives him lots of attention and lets him slobber all over her. We learned some great training tips to take home with us and make Louie a well behaved pup!

We rescued Stella with very little information on why her 2 previous homes did not work out, we found out very quickly that she was highly reactive with a lot of anxiety. I found Wayward Canine from a google search after we were told Stella could not attend a boarding facility due to her aggressiveness. After meeting with Josh, I immediately signed her up for day camp. It was hands down the best decision I've made for her. She's been attending for over a year now and while she is still reactive in certain situations, she is in a much better place. Krysten has worked with Stella since day 1 and I don't know where we'd be without her! We still have work to do, but I am very grateful to have found WC

Our troubled and complicated pit bull (Bruce Lee) immediately fell in love with the Wayward Canine. He knows the routine when he is going and his tail doesn't stop wagging until we get him there. The trainers are all great with him and they all seem to "get" him. He loves giving trainer Kristin big kisses when he arrives and before he gets down to the business at hand. She has gone out of the way on multiple occasions to help walk us through some unique situations we have encountered with BL. It's nice to have someone so responsive to our concerns and help us to immediately understand what to do! Thanks to Kristin and the entire Wayward Canine family for making Bruce Lee part of the crew.

Josh and Alyssa are amazing. My boy Bear needed a lot of help. We asked them to help us train Bear and rejoin our family of kids and be the loving sweet boy we know. He was with Wayward for 2 months. It was extremely hard for me to be away from him but I knew he was in great hands and I got pictures and video updates all the time. Bear came back calm and attentive. He’s come back into our lives the best way possible. None of this could be successful without Wayward Canine and their team of trainers. We’re very lucky to Have met them and to have trusted them with our fluffy family member. Thank you Josh Alyssa and Team! Bear means the world to us and we’re happy he came to see you.
