Wonder Puppy

We have been taking our very spirited and reactive puppy to social puppy here for almost 2 months now. She improves a little with each class and Matt and Kira always give us helpful feedback at the end. Our girl is very rowdy and Wonder Puppy has always been very encouraging to us and I have seen my pup go from having to be leashed the ENTIRE time to occasionally being flopped on her back showing her belly and matching the play of her play buddy. We just started puppy kindergarten classes at a different company, and at first I was really worried when I learned they had a free play period during the class, where she would not have two trainers there watching her every move and making sure she didn't get too rowdy with smaller pups. To my absolute elation, I watched Willow play gently with much smaller puppies and show her belly. She let herself be chased all over the play floor by 3 much smaller pups and she loved every minute of it. It was pretty adorable to watch my 40 lb monster pup be tackled and wrestled down by a cavalry of little foofy curly pups and baby labs probably half her weight. I did have to pull her away when she started to just sit on one of the rowdiest little dogs though, lol. Thank you guys so much. I will be sad when she gets too big / ages out of being eligible to be in your social puppy classes....but I am incredibly grateful for everything you've done to help Willow!

My puppy and I took the Good Puppy (Level 1) class. Due to the pandemic, we ended up taking the online class. Even though we didn’t get the additional benefit of training in person, with other puppies and people around, we still got a lot out of the class. I actually preferred taking the first puppy class at home. My puppy was able to build a good foundation for the basics, so that when we transitioned into environments with more distractions, she was able to demonstrate impulse control and focus onto me. I highly recommend Wonder Puppy classes to anyone!

The folks at Wonder Puppy are just incredible and their methods WORK. We have done private 1-on-1 training with Katie Van Raden, a handful of Social Puppy classes, and just finished the remote series of Good Puppy with Katie as well. If I could give 6 stars, I would. In the midst of some major puppy blues, we first came to Wonder Pup for a private session Katie Van Raden. She was knowledgeable, patient, unbelievably kind, and generous with her time and efforts. We left feeling set up for success and immediately signed up for her remote section of Good Puppy. And again it was a wonderful experience - Good Puppy gave us a solid foundation and tools for success going forward. We just moved out of state, so we are so grateful for remote offerings! We plan on doing the next remote Great Puppy as well as remote 1-on-1’s to address more specific training topics.

We absolutely love the Wonder Puppy classes and trainers. We started online with Good Puppy and Zen Puppy. We continued with Reliable Puppy out in the park and now are in Great Puppy in the studio. Each experience has been so helpful and each trainer has been so supportive and helpful. We look forward to taking some courses over again as there is always room for improvement in our training and bonding. Take the classes, you won't regret it!
