About
•Training in Boca Raton, Delray Beach & Boynton Beach. •Private Lessons only at your home. Force-free, non-dominant, positive reinforcement only. Your pup is #1 always & in all ways when we train. Explain what you want for your pup & that's exactly what we will achieve. Training begins at the 1st lesson. If you have a young puppy, you'll need to start potty training asap with a Puppy Training Package. Puppies must be housebroken first, so they "earn" the privilege of roaming their human's home freely. We can help with what you'll need so you're ready from day one. We train for good manners as we tackle potty training. Rescues, may need a different course, with rehabbing + obedience & they may already be housebroken. Pups are sentient beings whose hearts, minds & memories need loving care as we train; some may need to heal from their past experiences. If your pup is older, there may be only obedience training needed. Based on what isn't working, we'll create a course that will make sure your pup passes the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test (which may get you a discount on your renter's/homeowner's insurance.) Because it reaps the best & fastest results, we train at your home* (no boarding.) That's your pup's "safe haven", where they spend most of their time & where they have the least distractions. (*Except, if someone smokes or vapes or has a cat in the room. We're very allergic, so we can't.) We've trained pups & their people for 30+ yrs. with consistent success. Once hired, we're your trainer for everything you need. Courses are created with individualized lesson plans to assure success for you & your pup. We graduate students, never abandon them. Pet parents must be able to make at least an hour/week commitment to their pup for lessons & 10-15mins./day for practice in between lessons to insure success. Our clients get the results they request in reasonable amounts of time & for reasonable cost - prices starting @ $800.00 for a 10 lesson course paid up front and they're not locked into a set schedule regarding day/time slots from lesson to lesson; we flex schedules to meet yours if given 24 hours notice. Only Forms of Payment: •CASH paid up front •CREDIT CARD using the "Square" banking device - they add a small processing fee - also paid up front. (Note: All training packages are non-refundable.) You'll have a signed, legally enforceable contract at the start of the first lesson, so that you're protected & feel secure that your pup will receive the entire course. (The 10 lesson course is best if completed in 10 wks, and shall be completed within 6 mths maximum.) One firm business policy: Please, don't ask us to "audition" for free or for a 1 lesson charge - no can do. (There are no "pay by the lesson" arrangements.) ☆🐕‍🦺IMPORTANT NOTE🦮☆ We also train legitimate service dogs & therapy dogs; we work with an attorney who knows the Federal ADA & Florida ADA laws. The length of time & costs are different from the "starting" scenario above. All documents needed for POAs, HOAs & COAs can & will be provided at no charge. $$🐕 DISCOUNT ALERT 🐕$$ If you want more than 1 pup in your home trained, you will get a reduced course rate. 🐕🐶 Due to years of combined experience & education, clients get what they pay for - professional training done 1-on-1 at their homes, that will last their pup's lifetime. Here's how it works: Just imagine your pup's training like a 3-layer cake 🎂 : • The top layer will result in extraordinary manners you'll be proud of. Strangers will compliment you & your pup; a strong, mutual trust & respect between you & your pup - a deep, loving bond between you two, as well. All commands (beginner, intermediate & advanced) will be taught. • The middle layer will result in techniques for using learned & memorized vocal+hand cues in combinations to prevent and/or extinguish patterns that don't serve your dog's life or yours. Problems will be avoided, nipped in the bud or patterns reversed. • The bottom layer will result in a calm, centered pup who can control his/her own impulses as a result of the distinct style of their training, from lesson #1 through graduation. Your pup will take & pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, in a public environment with the distraction of other people & pups. 🐕🐕‍🦺 So... whether your traumatized rescue needs rehabbing/the rebuilding of trust in humans + good manners or your new puppy will need to be trained to be your beloved family member, or maybe even your service dog eventually, the course curriculum of training, lesson plans & corrections will be individually designed to work for both your pup's needs & your goals.

My experience with Wendy and Puppy Dog Luv was incredible. First and foremost, she is ALL ABOUT the puppy!! My Brandi was so excited every time she walked in the door. I told Wendy that I wanted my puppy to learn basic commands, and she took that to heart. My puppy can now sit and stay for at least 4-5 minutes, she sits on command, she plays fetch, and comes when I call her. I was short on time, so she is still working on walking and heeling, but Wendy is your trainer; she remains your trainer even after the 10 lessons. I can't recommend her services enough; she is a one-of-a-kind trainer who finds pure joy with all dogs!

Wendy established a positive relationship with Ellie from the beginning and Ellie greets her like a long list friend. Wendy took time to talk with me about dog needs and behavior which came in very handy later on when Ellie got sick so luckily I had listened but was sure I wouldn’t see that particular behavior in Ellie: wrong, and my preparations were good for my little furry friend. I also failed at first to see the need for us to practice for Wendy. I thought just having Wendy model and do the training would be more efficient but then Wendy wouldn’t have been able to correct my mistakes which would make things more confusing for my pet. She has also been very accommodating through life’s many challenges. You can depend on Wendy and she most assuredly knows what she’s doing!

My pup loves her! He follows her around and does everything she asks. She is responsive to dates and always has helpful information about how to handle dogs. She has encouraged and and truly helped my puppy and I will continue for another set of lessons with her.

Thank you so much, Libby. Training Rocky is something I look forward to every week. He's already made it clear he's going to be an incredible service dog for you. You two were meant to be a team.
