Every dog can be a

WONDER DOG!

We want to help you raise a well-adjusted canine family member, so you can enjoy all the great things our special place in the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Wonder Dogs prides itself on always using the latest research regarding canine development and behavior modification to develop the most up-to-date, modern training techniques.

This makes our training effective, informative and fun!

Our Programs & Offerings

Our small, personal classes are effective, fun and taught by highly-educated and experienced instructors. We offer puppy, teenager and adult classes, single-topic electives, field trips, sports and socialization opportunities.

Our progressive curriculum is custom-tailored for your success with thoughtful sequencing and plentiful between-class student resources.

Get a personalized training plan unique to your situation to fast-track your goals! Individual sessions are chock-full of efficient one-on-one coaching and will thoroughly answer all your questions. Or leave your dog or puppy with us and we’ll do the training!

Our very popular month-long tutoring programs accelerate skill acquisition. Tutoring is available on location or at our facility as a drop-off service while you’re at work or running errands. Let us do the work for you!

We are known far and wide for our outstanding behavior modification program, addressing undesirable emotional issues such as fear, anxiety, over-excitement, reactivity, & aggression. Start with a behavior consultation to pinpoint reasons for these issues and we’ll help you implement training exercises, lifestyle changes, and management strategies to resolve them. Then attend our S.T.A.R. class to desensitize your dog to unfamiliar people and dogs.

Positive Reinforcement & How We Train

Our training program is based on the effective and scientifically-proven positive reinforcement method. This means we use food, play, clickers, and access to life rewards to motivate your dog to WANT to listen. Positive isn’t permissive though; we will show you how to set boundaries without side-effect-causing punishment methods.

At Wonder Dogs, we believe that dogs are truly amazing animals. We often underestimate their intelligence and learning capabilities only because we are unaware of how to tap into them.

We will help you reach your goals faster and more efficiently through our wide variety of group classes and private instruction with flexible scheduling! We train in-home, on-location and at our 12,000-sq-ft dedicated facility.

 

Focal Points of Our Training Program

Wellness & Enrichment

Meeting your dog’s basic needs prevents and reduces behavior problems without training! We’ll show you easy ways to provide appropriate mental and physical exercise as well as enrichment, to let your dog express their dog-ness in ways you can live with.

Positive Reinforcement

Teaching manners and expectations using reinforcers that dogs intrinsically like (food, play, safety, choice) to motivate a dog to want to listen. This creates teamwork and a good relationship, which is your best defense against distractions and challenging environments.

Clear Communication

We want you to be successful so we’ve designed our program to help you get a reliable and enjoyable family pet in the easiest and most efficient way possible using clear communication. Your dog is going to learn “human” as a second language, and you will learn “dog” as a second language!

Emotional Regulation

Helping a dog regulate their emotions is imperative so they can be more responsive to their cues. Working through over-excitement, fear, anxiety, or frustration and addressing a dog’s emotional needs is sometimes the first step in training better manners, since adrenaline clouds the ability to think clearly.
