Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: 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.

Wen Tze is the greatest gift I gave both myself and my shih-poo puppy, Nugget! She is incredibly patient, kind and caring and was always super responsive whenever I’d text her questions or updates in between sessions. She was immensely helpful with potty training, biting/teething tips and tricks, whimpering when I’d leave the room, as well as how to sit, stay and come (and tons of other puppy insight as well!) You will not regret an ounce of your time spent with her and what you receive in return. Nugget and I appreciate you so much!! Thank you for everything :)

Wen was awesome to work with! After just a few sessions our dog was no longer barking/lunging at other dogs on walks, and even had time to work on new training skills for our last session. Highly recommend!

Wen is super nice and very knowledgeable. We had 4 puppy training sessions with Wen, and our puppy has learned how to sit, stay, come, and walk with us. Highly recommended!!

My foster dog (1.5yo basset/pit mix) immediately showed signs of dog reactivity upon arrival. I reached out in need of help. Wen responded day of and got us in 3 days later for our first training! He made progress on walks and commands (heel, sit, stay). Wen allowed Ollie to train with the help of her dogs in his sight line. His reactivity still needs a lot of work, but we learned together what he would do best with home placement wise for his forever home! Wen was so so so gracious and loving towards Ollie and showed me how to be direct & watch for the perfect time to correct!!! He immediately trusted her. He’s still on his journey and we couldn’t thank Wen enough for all she provided us! My confidence went up and Ollie shows more and more signs of trusting me!

Carter loved training with Wen Tze, and my sister and I loved it, too. In four weeks my four month old puppy perfected sit, stay and come when called. His leash training has improved significantly and potty training/transition from indoor pee pads to outside is going great. Wen Tze was super knowledgeable and taught us a lot. Highly recommend!
