About
My background and knowledge in animal behavior is key when working with pet parents to have better relationships with their pets. With a degree in animal science and psychology, more than 7 years training animals at the zoo, shelters and daycare, plus working in the veterinary and pet insurance field, I offer more than just basic dog training knowledge and experience. We use both positive reinforcement and leadership based techniques in our training as that is most effective to help dogs listen to you especially in difficult situations. Every pet is different with their needs and personalities, so we don’t use a cookie cutter approach - we customize a game plan for EACH lesson based on your pup’s progress and your goals. Dog Training is and should be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for everyone involved. It is an opportunity to create a very special relationship with our pets and help them be better versions of themselves. It has been a great privilege for me to help families feel happier with their pets through training and educating, and I'd love to do that with you and your pet as well. Our assessment calls are free so please reach out and we’d love to help you and your pup achieve all of your goals. Feel free to check out our reviews and photos on Thumbtack and Google.

I cant believe simply two sessions were as impactful as they were. Mainly i needed to be validated on how i was seeing my puppy's behaviors and my response to them. Rather than just telling me i was wrong and trying to teach me something, I was reassured for my response being natural and then it was adapted and built off into something that is actually effective providing success! Overall my experience was amazing. I had tried two other trainers which resulted in poor development and with Back to Basics I was able to turn the bad behaviors around very quickly and with minimal relearning on my part since it was adapted based on observing my natural engagement with my puppy.

Wen really knows and understands dogs! Before meeting Wen, our 1 year old adopted pup was a pain in the **** to walk. Constant pulling and reactive to all things. Over 4 classes with Wen (plus practicing her techniques in between classes), we’re really happy with the progress! We have developed much more confidence working with our pup, and our relationship on walks has improved. Wen also gave us tips on crate training, separation anxiety, and aggression - all of which are improving.

Working with Back to Basics Dog Training was the best! Wen Tze was so professional and so very patient with our little biting puppy. Our puppy was 12 weeks when we started working with Back to Basics and was in the unstoppable biting/chewing phase. Wen Tze worked with us to help redirect him when biting starts and also provided us with multiple methods that help sooth his need for biting. As we continued to work with her our puppy learned how to listen to outdoor commands and we were able to start desensitizing him to all the new wonders of being outdoors. He listens to his name, sits, and stays while outside! Toward the end of our training we worked on showing him new tricks and continued to practice and reinforce the outdoor training. Since we started with Back to Basics our puppy listens to our commands both indoor and out door and the biting/chewing is nearly fully under control which is a huge improvement. Thank you so much for working with us! I would recommend 1000000000000%!
