José in PA.
We adopted Celi with out any idea on how she would be like. We realized after 4 month that she need it training in order for her to be happy. She was afraid of everything and full of anxiety. After 4 weeks with Jose she came home a different little girl. She listening much better, eating better and less anxious. We have done things with her that we would have not even try it before training. Jose did a great job with her! Very caring and is obviously he loves his job! She still a work in progress and will continue to follow Jose advice and continue support. I will highly recommend Jose. 🐶

Not Recommended
We sent our 2 puppies for the 3 week training course. When they returned they weren’t much better behaved than when they left. The only command they really knew was sit and even that still needed alot of work. My main problem area and original reason for deciding to send them was potty training. It improved slightly. However, for the price we paid I feel there should have been A lot more improvement all around.

Chris was super helpful
Chris was super helpful! He was able to train our maltipoo puppy who is very hyper and doesn’t love to listen. 2 weeks was a long time away but it was worth it to see my puppy come back being able to do basic commands and have me feel comfortable bringing him different places. I would highly recommend this company to any puppy owner

Chris and Dogwise academy are #1 in our book
We were searching for obedience training for our 6 month old Belgian malinois mix and eventually decided to go with Dogwise Academy.
Our dog was assigned to trainer Chis Pizzi and we really felt that he perfectly met the specific traits and meeds of our dog.
From the very beginning, the daily videos, pictures and updates helped lessen our anxiety and also let us in on the whole training process allowing us to see how our dog was progressing.
Alot of time was spent addressing the specific behaviors we wanted and our dog came home with a ton of solid foundational behaviors in place.
It was also good for us to get “trained” as well, and we are grateful for all the questions that were answered and the training tips that were given.
We see a definite, remarkable different in our dog’s behaviors and obedience and now also have a plan of how to reinforce those things going forward.
Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.

Amazing experience!
Amazing experience! Victoria and the rest of the team at Dogwise were incredibly responsive, always there to answer any question or send pictures and videos. In just those 2 short weeks Victoria was able to create an incredibly strong base of training for our pup to continue learning and growing. He now knows multiple commands and is doing really well in continuing to learn his house manners. Would definitely recommend!

Dogwise is a wonderful company that truly helps train not just your dog, but you as well!
Dogwise is a wonderful company that really goes above and beyond to get not just your dog trained, but the dog's family as well! Ana, a contact for Dogwise, was extremely helpful and kind. In addition, Bea, one of Dogwise's consultants, went above and beyond to help me through the entire process and she even answered late night texts right away! She was very sweet, helpful and went above and beyond in making me and my family feel secure in who was taking our puppy! In addition, Dogwise chose the most amazing trainer for our puppy, Puppina! Now Rachel, Puppina's trainer, was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she help Puppina with all her obedience training, but she helped to train me and my family so we could keep up with everything Puppina learned. Rachel ot only updated us on Puppina's progree, but she sent pictures and videos, and even took the time to send training videos of how she yrains Puppina so that we can follow through with our puppy's training! Even more than this, Rachel spent a number of hours helping us learn the skills Puppina learned, when she returned her. She truly went above and beyond!!! Something we are eternally grateful for!!!
She even said if we ever needed help to call or text her and made folloup plans to visit us and Puppina to help reinforce anything we needed help with! On top of this, Rachel also gave so much love, attention and care to our puppy that it was obvious that Rachel loves animals and loves her job! While I could ho on and on about how great Rachel - and everyone at Dogwise- was, it is something you can see and feel right away! To this point, I will say that Rachel - it was clear right from the beginning- was not only a perfect fit for Puppina, but she is now a part of our family! Thank you Dogwise. Thank you Ana. Thank you very much Bea! And, thank you sooooo very much Rachel. There are no words to show how truly happy with Puppina's training!!!

I had an incredible experience with… Lauren
I had an incredible experience with Dogwise Academy and the trainer they provided me. She was amazing in updating me, giving me resources and taking care of my little man! We still talk a couple weeks after his training and my pup is doing very well. It is all about consistency but my experience was wonderful!
