How great would it be to  have a dog that walks nicely on the leash, does not lunge at other dogs, is under control with house guests, comes when called and listens in the presence of distractions? 

Yes! I’m talking about your dog!

Positive training is the answer…

Become your dog’s hero by being the kind, clear and consistent leader he/she deserves! Good dogs do bad behaviors for a variety of reasons. If you are doing the same things over and over without results, Dogwise can help! Most problem behaviors can be controlled if not completely eliminated with the right tools and insight to as to how your dog thinks.

Cruelty Free Training Methods:

All Dogwise Obedience training methods are rewards based and include no physical punishment. We do not believe in training through fear. Dogwise Obedience uses training  methods that  make your dog want to comply while instilling a clear understanding of your boundaries and expectations.

Life Time email or text support:

Whether you do an outdoor leash clinic, private training sessions or send your dog to Dogwise Obedience camp; you are in the Dogwise Obedience Family! If you have future questions or concerns, Christine will promptly answer your questions with a thoughtful and instructive response.

The Evaluation:

We come to you for a private consultation and evaluation of your dog. During the evaluation we discuss your dog’s strengths, weaknesses and your personal training goals. The evaluation visit fee is waved whenever you purchase a training session.

Private Training Sessions

Obedience instruction is custom designed to your dog’s unique needs and can include:

  • Basic Obedience Training
  • Puppy Training
  • Aggression Problems

  • …and more!

All sessions take place at your home or location of choice. Private training sessions come with precise written instructions on all material covered. Training sessions are hands on and take place in real-time scenarios. Dogwise works the protocols with your dog, you work them, etc.  We bring our own dogs or human guests to the lessons to practice with!

Obedience Camp

Each day your dog will enjoy several hours of one-on-one positive obedience and training for behavioral problems in a safe home setting and varied outside/public locations. This day-to-day situational training is the fastest way to change problem behaviors while setting the stage for a lifetime of good dog behavior and manners. We get your dog on the right track for you. Camp includes behavioral evaluation, how-to training videos and pick up training session.
