Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Everything you need to train you how to effectively train your puppy!
We had such a good experience with Wonder Puppy! The training was effective and not overly complicated. Matt made it all feel very approachable for us and for our puppy! We loved going to class every week and developing a stronger connection with our puppy! I would recommend Wonder Puppy to anyone!
Matt and Kiera are great trainers! Highly recommend for any new puppy parents!
My dog went through Good Puppy & was starting Great Puppy. (She unfortunately had to get multiple knee surgeries & now is more than aged out.) I am a “dog person” through and through but there is nothing like going through the puppy stage again! Having the support of the trainers…Read full reviewClose full review
My dog went through Good Puppy & was starting Great Puppy. (She unfortunately had to get multiple knee surgeries & now is more than aged out.) I am a “dog person” through and through but there is nothing like going through the puppy stage again! Having the support of the trainers to guide our way to success is monumental. The skills we’ve learned have given us everything needed in having a great relationship. Thank you Wonder Puppy! We had Matt & Christina as trainers, I have nothing but great things to say about them.
