Positive Reinforcement & How We Train
Our training program is based on the effective and scientifically-proven positive reinforcement method. This means we use food, play, clickers, and life rewards (we like to say that positive isn’t permissive!), which is just as important as what we don’t use: side-effect-causing punishment methods.
We will help you reach your goals faster and more efficiently through our wide variety of group classes and private instruction with flexible scheduling! We train in-home, on-location and at our 12,000 sq ft dedicated facility.

—Tutoring
—Private Lessons
—Behavior Consultations
We know this is a disappointing decision. We have given it very careful consideration, and because we are 100% committed to serving our community with the highest quality training, we are no longer accommodating board and train requests. We believe strongly in the efficacy of our private lessons, group classes, and tutoring program. We are happy to chat with you about our other programs to help you accomplish your goals. Would you like one of our trainers or our behavior specialist to call you?

Every single trainer that we have encountered at WonderDogs is incredible. We have taken a total of 4 different classes here now with our 1.5 year old PitBull pup. She has come so far when it comes to her overexcitement when encountering other people and dogs. I am so grateful for this place and all of the tools my pup and I have learned. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Thank you, WonderDogs.

Jenn and her team are absolutely amazing and professional and knowledgeable. We went all the way to Portland for a consult with one of the very few certified behavioral specialists in the area and I can honestly say that I found Jenn's consultation to be much, much more useful with applicable advice and suggestions immediately after the consult. We have enrolled our dogs in her classes and look forward to recommending her team to everyone looking for consults and classes!
