About
Your time is precious, so... •We train in Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach & Boynton Beach. • Private Lessons only at your home. ****************** 💕💕💕FEBRUARY IS PUPPY LUV MONTH!!! Our Full Puppy Pkge is Only $400!! ❤️🐕❤️ STARTING 2/1/26: Any puppy, 0-12 mths will get the Puppy Pkge. of 10 lessons for the "Luv Month" Discount Price of $400.00. That's (10) one hour lessons. Potty Training to AKC Canine Good Citizen test. Don't miss this Discount - it starts now & ends the 28th day of February. We must be hired by then, but the lessons can go on into March or April. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ My style is unique: (force-free, non-dominant) positive reinforcement ONLY & it's successful because it's all about priorities. Your pup is #1 always & in all ways when we train. Tell us what you want for your dog & that's exactly what your dog 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 nicotine/marijuana there 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. ******************************************************************************************** We create courses with individualized lesson plans to assure success for you & your pup. We graduate students, never abandon them. Pet parents should 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 -and 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 our schedules to meet theirs if given 24 hours notice. Payments accepted: CASH paid up front or 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. 🐕🐕 If you've adopted your pup from a rescue, there'll be a discount, too. 🐶 Because of our 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. ********************************************** How does it work? Well, 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 on; 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 my 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 & your goals.

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!

I'm writing this review on behalf on my mother who hired Wendy of Puppy Dog Luv to train her puppy, Pixie. My mom purchased a package of ten 1-hour sessions. Wendy was an exceptional trainer who went above and beyond to assist my mom. She often times stayed longer and even made herself available for phone calls when my mom needed guidance. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone needing a trainer. She's truly remarkable!

Wendy is wonderful. She is a professional and has a rare ability to communicate with our puppy. She is in the process of training Havana and us! We look forward to all of the visits and would recommend her to anyone who wants the results necessary to enjoy their dog. Her patience with puppies and people is remarkable. We were so pleased we’re continuing Havana’s lessons for another class with Wendy. Don’t waste time or money... hire her.
