What people have asked about this business.
I have a one year old bull dog puppy I got her for Xmas n I got papers for her to be my service dog for a short time I need her taken care of until the building manager says I can have her in my building
I don't think that is what they do here, mainly training not boarding.

Got our little mini Australian shepherd Milu at 2 months old and went straight to socials/skills 1/skills 2/calm & focus 1/2. Everyone there is great! Aspen has gotten to work with Milu for the majority of his baby and teenage development and I have nothing but amazing things to say! We also have worked closely with Teri who we love working with as well. Milu has gained invaluable skills and confidence. I would recommend wonder puppy to everybody. We always look forward to going every Saturday! Thank you Wonder Puppy!!

I can’t say enough great things about Casey and the entire team at Wonder Puppy! I’ve been bringing my golden retriever puppy since he was 11 weeks old for Calm and Focus 1, Skills 1, and many socials. He’s now almost 5 months old and growing into such a wonderful dog—and I truly credit so much of that to Wonder Puppy and their outstanding programming.
Casey, Aspen, and Sam are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely loving toward the dogs. Their support has been invaluable, especially during some of the tougher early weeks.
Thank you for everything you do!
