About
I take a lot of pride in the way I work with families and their dogs. I go above and beyond to teach dog owners just what it is to do to train their dog, understand their dog, to create respect with one another while creating that lasting bond together. I enjoy educating my clients in dog behavior and psychology, helping them understand what they should expect from their dog. My passion for dogs shows in every lesson that I give. I use a positive reinforcement method to train dogs. I train with patience and respect while using humane methods. Each dog is an individual and each dog learns differently, therefore each dog will receive their own customized training plan to fit their training needs when I am working with them. Using this approach, I believe, will set each dog up for success instead of failure. Seeing a dog and their owner working together, learning together and having fun together is an awesome experience to witness!! That is what making what I do all worth it!! I also offer competitive pricing and special package deals. I also am pleased to offer discounts to rescue dogs. Whether you’re bringing home a new puppy, you just adopted a rescue dog, you’re having some issues with behavioral problems or you just want to brush up on some training, I am here to help. You deserve to live peacefully with your dog and your dog deserves to live a good life.
Working with dogs of course!! I love being able to teach dogs just what it is that their owner is asking of them. I also enjoy educating my clients on canines, including canine behavior and psychology, having them understand how to train their dogs to be the best that they can be. To watch a dog learn and actually see him think about what it is that your teaching him never ceases to amaze me! I also enjoy working with and meeting new people.

the one lesson she gave us was great, she gave us many wonderful pointer, and she never rushed. We loved her as a trainer, but we no longer have our Riely.he was given to a wonderful family with 2 young boys. he was to much of a dog ,who needed a lot of walking to get rid of his pent up engery. we keep in close contact with the family and he is triving, goes on hikes every day with the kids, they send us videos all the time,so it was the best decision,even though we miss him.

Wendi was amazing! Our puppy Nala loved her as much as we did. she helped us so much and we learned a lot from her. Nala really listened to her and she really took the time to train her. Our puppy does struggle with the crate but Wendi was able to offer advice on ways to get her to love it. She’s finally warming up to it. Chris & I would ABSOLUTELY hire Wendi again. I recommend her to everyone and everyone looking for a dog trainer. Thank you Wendi! Nala would look out the window for you every time you would leave! We will definitely be in touch!

We hired Wendy to train our rescue, Charlie. She was so amazing with him!! Wendy came to our home and taught Charlie basic commands. She was so patient and kind. She answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable reinforcing Charlie’s newly learned commands.
Wendy absolutely loves what she does and Charlie absolutely LOVED her. He looked forward to seeing her every week! She takes her work very seriously and we recommend her without reservation.
Wendy did such a great job with Charlie and working with her was a special experience for us and our new pup❤️ We even had a little celebration on his graduation day 🐾

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer competitive pricing and I am pleased to offer discounts for rescue dogs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I start working with a new client I like to start off with a free phone consultation. This gives me the opportunity to ask them important questions about their dog that would assist me in creating an individualized training plan for their dog. I prefer to do this before I go to my clients home for their first training lesson, this way training can begin right away.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After many years of working with and training dogs, I decided to make my lifelong passion official and attended Catch Canine Trainers Academy where I studied many comprehensive phases of study in professional dog training and behavior consultations along with basic and advanced dog obedience, behavior modification and behavioral evaluations. I completed my externship under the training of a certified professional dog trainer. I graduated from the academy with distinction.
