We enrolled our dog Murph in Shane’s Chaos to Confidence four-week course. Murph is a rescue who had pretty good obedience and was great with people. Unfortunately, he would turn into a completely different dog when other dogs came into his space.
We spoke with Shane, and he gave us a full breakdown of his program and what we could realistically expect. Throughout the entire process, he communicated clearly, keeping us informed and guiding us on how to work through everything.
At one point, we thought Murph might just be aggressive—but it turns out he was simply scared and didn’t know how to react. The first video of Murph being around another dog without completely losing his mind left our jaws on the floor. Four weeks later, he came back to us a changed dog.
His obedience skills are top-notch now, and he knows how to properly react when other dogs are around. We couldn’t ask for a better result.

Shane did a wonderful job with my two boys! We were so worried our golden had a behavior problem that could not be fixed and we feared having to give him away or worse! Since they’ve been home we have had no issues with the aggressive behavior!! Our lab puppy is so much more manageable! As an 80lb lab he was getting very difficult to manage! I am so happy we had Shane train our boys!! An investment worth every penny!!

Shane did an amazing job working with our girl Maya. Before Maya went to stay with Shane for her 3 weeks of puppy training, taking her on a walk such a struggle. Her first walk after she came home was such an amazing difference. She didn't react to the four wheeler that passed us on the trail or any of the other people and dogs that were out for a walk. The difference is like night and day! We practice “place”, “sit” and “down” every day and she is doing wonderful! Maya will be going back to stay with Shane for 3 more weeks of obedience training in August and we are confident that she is going to get the best care and training while she is there! We highly recommend Wags and Wisdom Dog training!

We were nervous to leave our dog for 4 weeks but we were beyond fed up with her behavior. Shane was very responsive and reassuring, sent frequent updates including videos, and most importantly, transformed out little misfit pitty into a well behaved pitty princess.

Shane did an absolutely amazing job with our Belgian Tervuren (Malinois), Princess. We opted for the 3 week program Wild to Well-Behaved Board & Train. We rescued Princess just a month or so before we contacted Shane. She was a very sweet dog, but with extremely high energy. She was easily distracted and difficult for me to walk. After 21 days with Shane, we took a 2 mile walk this AM without a single behavioral issue. No pulling or chasing everything she saw. Well worth it. Shane is very professional, knows how to work with dogs and owners alike. Highly recommend.
