Best experience ever and highly recommend using this company. We loved the entire process and our trainer was amazing! She answered all of my questions no matter how silly they seemed, and gave me daily updates that included pictures or videos. My hyper, strong willed, ball of energy puppy is now calmer, more responsive, and more fun because now it doesn’t seem like training. Please, if you are considering dog training programs this is the one to check into. They are great and make you feel like part of the family from day one. More...

Dogwise Academy picked an amazing trainer for my pup Mulligan and they even kept in touch all the way through the process. Ryan at RCK9 has been amazing. My pup Mulligan has always struggled with reactivity and ever since my coma he had gotten worse and wouldn't listen to commands. I did a board and train with Ryan and RCK9 through Dogwise Acadamy and he treated Mulligan so well that I feel he would prefer to stay there lol. Ryan was very attentive and responded promptly to any questions I had. When Mulligan first came home he struggled to listen to me and Ryan came out late in the day just to do a private session. In that one session, Ryan showed me that I didn't have proper leash control and allowed Mulligan to take control of the walk. Ever since that session, Mulligan has been great on the leash and his reactiveness has diminished. Ryan is still very responsive to all of my questions and is by far the best investment I have made for myself, but more importantly, for Mulligan. Throughout the process Dogwise Acadamy stayed in the loop and ensured proper car for my pup. Thank you again Dogewise, RCK9, and Ryan, Mulligan now gets a happier fear-free life due to you all.

We have a 5 month old corgi and it was hard to train him with a toddler and working full time. DogWise made the process of signing up and connecting us to a trainer so easy. The representatives was very informative and answered all of the questions I had about the process. The communication between all the party was great. I love how the responsive all of the parties were with the check in and progress report. I was connected with trainer Olivia and she is awesome. I received a calmer puppy and she showed us how to continue with the puppy’s training. I would totally recommend DogWise and Olivia and would not hesitate enrolling in future training sessions.

I just rescued a 3.5 month old pup (Pomeranian mix) in December and unfortunately was struggling to jump start his training or even knowing the correct way to train him. He came to me so nervous about everything, would not allow me to walk him on a leash, I couldn’t get him to potty outside, as the people who were fostering him were allowing him to pee on a pee pad in the house and didn’t ever take him outside to go potty. He had a lot of behaviors I needed help to correct.

Joseph was an INCREDIBLE trainer. He sent me updates everyday on Ollie’s progress, was always very in depth in answering my questions, took care of my baby like he was his own (it was very clear Ollie liked him a lot when he dropped him off). Fast forward to after the puppy training, Ollie is a changed pup! He walks on his leash so well and his recall off leash is actually existent! He had no recall at all before training. His potty training is going so so well, he only had one accident but I caught him before he could finish and has not had an accident since. I’m able to go about my business in the house without watching him like a hawk because he knows to potty outside.

I have been asking Joseph questions even after the training concluded and he has went above and beyond in every answer. He gives tips, will call me, and is just so knowledgeable about fixing certain bad behaviors. I genuinely feel so supported, and I’m so grateful! if you are struggling with training, I would HIGHLY recommend Joseph and the entire Dogwise team, they are wonderful!

We were really hesitant to send our 10 months baby Brutus to puppycamp. We were setup with Joseph. After talking to Joseph before Brutus left we instantly felt much better. We got updates and talked to Joseph daily and could not believe the progress they made each day. Brutus not only learn a different command each day he also got to run free and other furbabies to play with. Brutus is on his way of becoming my service dog and Joseph has done an awesome job starting our Journey. I can not thank him enough for the awesome training and being part of our family. More...

Overall great experience.

Michael Jackson was my dog, Kobi’s, trainer and he did a phenomenal job. Kobi is a different pup. In 3 weeks Michael Jackson was able to curb and practically eliminate some of the typical bad habits my dog had prior to being trained with Michael. He did great work.

THERESA!!!!! This program was worth every penny. My dog, had terrible separation anxiety and fear based aggression/reactivity, but Theresa worked her magic. Charlie came back a well-mannered, confident dog. He no longer barks at strangers, is getting more comfortable with being in a crate, and actually listens (not just when he wants to). Theresa gave us so many resources, was always there to answer questions (before, during, AND after the program), and continues to check up on my pup. She’s super caring towards your dog, makes sure you have all the tools to succeed, and truly loves her job. 10000% would recommend Theresa and DogWise if you’re in need of basic or specialized training for your puppy or dog!

The first thing I have to say is that walking with Logan now is absolutely amazing and peaceful now. He is no longer pulling on the leash and is no longer reactive to other dogs. Before it was nerve wracking. Second communication with Cal was flawless. I was nervous about letting Logan go but Cal ensured that he treated Logan like his own and sent update at a timely manner. Cal was extremely professional polite but also honest. He have shown genuinely care for Logan and for us. The first time when Logan came back and show reactivity he handled it with care and confidence. I wouldn't dare recommending any other trainer than Cal and your company as a whole. The experience have definitely changed my trust in dog trainer . Before I was nervous due to a lot of negativity that was spread across about board and training program from the past. Now due to Cal I recommend anyone who has dog training issues to reach out to your company and him. Especially since the move ,my fiancee and I were extremely nervous due to the high population of dog and people. We didn't want people to think Logan was a aggressive dog due to his reactivity and breed but the 6 week with Cal, Logan have shown major improvement. Other dogs show Logan reactivity to Logan but Logan walk right pass without a care in the world. But thank you and Cal for the great experience. More...

I can't say enough good things about Dogwise Academy and our trainer, Njoud! She worked wonders with my puppy, Nala. Before training, Nala struggled with potty training, recall, and chewing on everything in sight. Now, she waits until I let her out to go potty—such a relief since I work and go to school and didn't have time to train her properly. The nipping and chewing have completely stopped, and her recall has improved so much!

What I really appreciate is that Njoud will be coming back after four weeks to check on Nala’s progress and make any needed adjustments. That level of commitment and follow-up shows how much she cares about both the dogs and their owners. I’m beyond happy with the experience and highly recommend Dogwise Academy to anyone looking for quality dog training! 🐶✨

Dogwise made the process of enrolling my pup in their training very simple. They were always available to either text, email or call if I have any questions. I definitely would recommend them to anyone that needs pup training if any sort.
I was very hesitant to board my puppy as she is my first puppy. But I had the pleasure to work with an awesome trainer “Theresa”. She was so understanding of my concerns, addressed any concerns I had, sent me progress texts and videos to keep me in the loop. My puppy looked happy and well taken care of.
She took her time showing me how to keep up with the training my puppy received. Sent me so many useful links to read and learn from. I honestly can’t express enough how awesome Theresa is. I will always be grateful ☺️

Our experience with Wise Acadamy was great. The trainer they paired us with Njoud Aghabi was a perfect fit for us. She was amazing with our dog Leah. Njoud was professional, knowledgable in her craft. She has lots of experience. She was loving, and caring to Leah meeting all her needs and ours. Leah has a disability and Njoud managed to get creative providing solutions to train Leah. Njoud provided consistent updates and videos to keep us inform of her progress. Njoud went above and beyond while Leah, our dog was in her care; she trained her, loved her, and cared for her like she was her own dog. Thank you to Njoud Aghabi and to Wise Acadamy. More...

Dogwise Academy is a good company it was seamless to enroll my puppy in the program. The weekly report cards was informative. I received several phone calls,emails and texts to address any concerns I had. Rina Sullivan is an amazing dog trainer. I am very pleased with her training methods. Rina boarded my puppy Sky, for 7 weeks; through 2 hurricanes. Sky is a high energy, head strong, yet loving, 5-month, 50 lbs. Black Mouth Cur/German Shepherd mix; with an attention span of about 10 seconds. Rina not only taught Sky the essentials commands, she came home potty trained! Rina's love for what she does was/is demonstrated in the great care Sky received. I was able to track Sky's process through the numerous videos and daily reports Rina sent. This put my mind at is ease as I was able see my fur baby. Rina is also generous with her time, before and after Sky return home. Always answering any questions I had/have and making helpful suggestions, as well as having follow training sessions with me at home.
Sky love her! & I highly recommend her!

I contacted Dogwise after getting a new 6 month old German Shepherd. I have never potty trained a dog in my life. I was up for a challenge so I decided to contact Dogwise after searching online.

K.O. was placed with Njoud for two weeks. She accomplished crate training, potty training, leash training and door manners and so much more than I expected.

I had the absolute best experience with Dogwise Academy. My dog was placed with Jen and lived with her family and dogs for 3 weeks. Jen was so good with my dog, Luna, and Luna became a more socialized dog interacting with her dogs. Luna very quickly learned the commands and expected behavior and came back a different dog. Jen sent daily pictures and videos, weekly reports and is available anytime to discuss any questions or concerns that we had. Jen lives over an hour away and reached out to me a few days ago to ask if she could stop by to see Luna. Luna was so excited to see her which warmed my heart. I will definitely recommend Dogwise Academy for your dog’s training needs. If your dog is placed with Jen you will be blessed. More...

Briggs and a rough start in life. He was found tied to a fire hydrant, showing signs of physical abuse and severe starvation. We took care of his physical needs and helped him gain weight, but we struggled with training hi. Briggs was very reactive, not fully house trained, refused to go in the crate, and was difficult to walk. Everything changed when Tressie entered our lives; she was truly a godsend for Both Briggs and our family. Briggs stayed with Tressie for 4 weeks and returned a completely different dog., fitting perfectly back into our family. Tressie was transparent throughout the process, sharing daily training videos and communicating with us promptly. Not only was Briggs trained, but we were also educated on how to continue his training. Since Briggs has been home, we have diligently followed the training techniques we learned, and we improve everyday with Tressie’s ongoing support.

Tressie trained our 6 month old puppy for two weeks. He has been back for two days now and it's like we got a different dog back. I have a two year old son and the dog hasn't nipped at him, knocked him over and in general has been much better behaved. He goes in his crate willingly and follows commands. The most impressive is when told to go to his place he sits on his cot calmly while I get my son ready for nursery or when a person comes in.... no more jumping!

I was at my wits end and this was a last ditch effort. It honestly feels like the best investment ever. I am not saying he came back perfect but he is like 80% there.

Cal was wonderful from start to finish, even before and after our dog, Dixie, was under his care. When we had some reservations about training for so long before she even went to him, he reached out and he made sure all of my concerns and questions were answered. When he came to pick Dixie up, we could tell that he was a kind person, just the way Dixie immediately embraced him and through our conversation and interaction. We were confident that Dixie was in good hands, even though we were sad to let her go.

Cal communicated with us often, sharing training videos and updates daily.

Dixie came home with better leash manners, door manners, and just overall better behaved. She was once very reactive to other dogs when on the leash and she encountered a few over the past couple of days with no problem.

The day Dixie came home, Cal was very thorough in teaching us how to maintain behaviors and continue our part with training at home. Even after she was dropped off, Cal continued to communicate with us to see how she was doing and settling in. It was clear that Dixie and Cal formed a special bond and we will be forever grateful.

I had the pleasure of working with Cal to address several behavioral challenges with my dog, Nala, including leash walking, excessive barking, jumping on guests, and overall obedience. Cal provided clear, effective guidance that immediately began to make a difference. My dog used to pull constantly on walks and bark at anything that moved, but now walks calmly by my side. The barking has dramatically decreased, and the jumping issue is almost completely gone. Most importantly, my puppy is more obedient and responds to commands much better.

Cal used positive, reward-based training methods, which made the process enjoyable for Nala and I know she enjoyed her time with him. The results have been life-changing, and I couldn’t be happier. If you're struggling with similar issues, I highly recommend using Dogwise Academy and asking for Cal to be your pups trainer! Cal is an exceptional trainer who really understands dogs and their needs

I highly recommend Jammier from Dogwise. My dog, Bug, was very anxious and was chewing and peeing everywhere before I sent him to Dogwise. He is easier to manage and happier since he returned from a three week session. My family and I are grateful to have a sweet and well trained dog thanks to his time spent at Dogwise training with Jahmier. More...

Cal C. and his family were a godsend! Before training, my dog (Kota), felt nearly impossible to take anywhere. Walks were always stressful and anxiety inducing. I truly felt helpless as I avoided the elevator and all humans/nonhuman interactions in my apartment complex. I also never had guests over because I was so scared of how Kota would react. WELL, it has been 24 hours of having Kota home (also 24 hours since Cal trained me to communicate with Kota) and I have never been happier to take him on a walk. I literally shed tears the night we got back because I don’t remember ever enjoying a walk with him in his four years of life. I’ve also been able to take the elevator and be confident in his ability to stay composed while people enter and exit the elevator. The main difference between then and now is having the tools to correct his reactivity and having effective communication with Kota for the first time. I’m so excited to enjoy life with him and to show him so much of the world, slowly but surely. He’s not a completely new dog, he is simply less anxious because he was finally shown clear communication. Thanks to Cal I finally know how to communicate clearly with him as well. I’ll forever be indebted to this family for the hope that they’ve given me. (Yes, I’m crying again!) More...

Best money I spent on my dog! My trainer was Tressie and she was so good with my dog Macy. Macy was quite reactive to dogs and was not leash trained so it was difficult to walk her. Wish I could show before after videos but she has completely changed.
Her walks are now very structured and with the ‘ Leave it’ command, she doesn’t bark at dogs now. I wouldn’t say the reactivity to dogs is completely gone but it’s very manageable. With time, I’m sure it would go away completely.
Bottom line, Tressie was great!

Cal at Dogwise is the absolute best! We sent our dog Talen to Cal with hopes of lessening his anxiety and aggression toward other dogs, increasing his ability to listen and respond to commands, and learning to be more comfortable around new people (specifically kids). After four weeks with Cal, every hope and expectation has been exceeded. Talen now knows tons of new commands, can go on walks with no issues, and is ready to ease into meeting new people and kids. Cal communicated daily, was incredibly sweet, and worked with Talen in every area we talked about. Cal even involved his own kids in some training sessions to help Talen get more comfortable meeting new people. We can't speak highly enough of Dogwise and the work Cal did with Talen. We are so impressed and so thankful. More...

It was a rocky start. My dog Ajax had sever separation anxiety and fear Agression towards dogs and people.

Our trainer Rina, amazingly was willing and able to take him on. The change in him is shocking to me and i am extremely greatful.

I know its up to me to continue his training, but with Rinas fantastic foundation i believe i can handle it. Thank you so much and Ajax will miss you.

I was a little hesitant at first being a first time dog owner, and this being my first training experience. Paul and Emalee made the process very simple and comfortable for me. They both took the time to explain the program thoroughly and were there anytime I had a question or concern. My dog was a part of the four week program with the main focus being aggression. The first week was a little challenging since my dog has aggressive tendencies and it was his first time being away from me since 9 weeks old. The trainer Jackson displayed great patience, commitment and communication throughout the whole process. He explained everything in depth and sent me numerous updates throughout the duration of the program. Blue (my dog) behavior has definitely improved and I would without a doubt refer dog wise academy and Jackson to anyone considering dog training for their pup. Thanks again to the team at dog wise academy for your help and determination. More...

Before putting my dog Baloo into professional training, I checked out four other sites to see what they offered . What I liked about Dogwise Academy is the fact your puppy goes to the trainers's house and stays with the trainer, in my case three weeks time. Baloo was exposed to other dogs for socialization and for training. The trainer I had was Rina. She was wonderful. She kept me updated daily on what she had been doing with Baloo sending videos of them walking and giving me training tips. When they came back after three weeks, I could see the difference with him. He's a very stubborn American Bully breed but he was better than previously and not pulling me down the street. Rina was available for any questions I had and always promptly returned my texts and emails. She did a long handoff where we walked Baloo together and gave me tips and showed me what he's capable of doing. I would recommend Dogwise Academy just because of the fact they're not locked up and left overnight but live with their trainer. I would recommend Dogwise Academy to anybody who needs to have that extra professional support in training your dog so they adjust to the daily world . More...

I loved working with Dog wise. They did everything I asked them to do. Bailey was my trainer and I loved her. She was so good with my dog and when they say they keep in touch they really do they send you pictures and videos of your dog each week, they worked on his manners his obedience and most of all his aggression for other dogs I was very satisfied with the job they did and they took very good care of my dog. I definitely would recommend them to others. It was a wonderful experience. More...

Communication between the trainer, Doribeth, and myself was perfect. She always kept in contact with us on Koda's progress by constantly sending videos, photos, and chatting with us. Not only was communication during the stay beyond amazing but so was it after Koda came back to us! Doribeth's approach was effective and tailored perfectly to our dog's needs. I appreciate the patience she showed not only to us but to Koda. She went above and beyond to address our concerns, making sure we understood each command and the "why" behind it. Highly recommend!

Hi Billy! We’re so happy to hear about your positive experience with our Pet Consultant Ari. We look forward to seeing your pup's board and train program! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate it.

Q&As

Our trainers and staff love getting to know each dog and owner we encounter. We love to find solutions for each challenge and opportunity that comes with each new dog and owner we encounter. As a start-up with advanced trainers, vast resources, digital knowledge, operational excellence and investors we are working hard to bring as many dogs and owners together as possible.

We started the company to help dog owners with busy lives to find solutions that help them and their pets enjoy, communicate and thrive! We know that a key piece of success is teaching both humans and dogs how to understand one another and work hard so you both find long term success and understanding.

We do everything we can to make sure our clients are informed, comfortable and set-up for long term success to fully enjoy their dog and families. Our trainers and staff are on call to be sure you are supported and find the right fit for your needs.

We can do some training remotely but we focus on board and train programs to kickstart learning and train dogs in a home environment similar to the ones they live in daily. Check-in with us for more information on how we can help remote and in person.

Services

The Board and Train programs generally are either 2-4 weeks. The dogs are able to be either picked up or dropped off- depending on the program and the specific dogs needs the majority of training and/or kenneling is done at my home. (Videos and/or Photos of the area are available prior to booking as well as past customer references available.)

Due to the varying nature of each dog’s personality, training drive, temperament, and unique living situation- much of the Board and Train program curriculum may vary due to your family and dog's specific needs.

Additional training can be included in this program however the majority of my clients interested in this program are drawn to it mostly because I do most of the work and they have to maintain and grow the foundation I build.

The basic Puppy and Adolescent Obedience and Board and Train program includes:
Sit
Down
Sit/Stay
Down/Stay
2 Recalls (Called by name)
An everyday recall and an
911 Recall- known as the Really Reliable Recall
No (or comparable correction Cue)
Break (or comparable release cue)
Heel and/or Loose Leash Walking
House/Crate Training
Proper Greetings (People/Dogs)

Daily video and text updates are usually between 10-15 min long, showing the things we’re working on and how to continue and maintain those behaviors once the pup is back home.

The program outlined above is most commonly done over 2 weeks.

Is your dog reactive or aggressive to other dogs, animals, and/or people? Does your dog go over the top when other dogs are in their space?

Aggression is one of the most common and serious problems dogs can face and our experienced trainers are here to help.

During this program, we will work on the specific issues that your dog has. Our trainers will also teach certain commands that they feel will help during the rehabilitation and desensitizing process.

We will also evaluate what changes can be made in your home environment and lifestyle to help in the process of improving your dog’s mental state and decreasing current reactivity to certain settings. This will allow you to carry on the training of desired behaviors once your pup is back home with you.

Typically a 1-2 hour session, your trainer will walk through all important information, commands, and strategies to be sure you and your dog are set up for long-term success.

While your pooch is away we'll share regular updates from your trainer so you can understand your dog’s progress. We'll also create and share videos that will serve as “How to” videos specifically tailored to your dog so you can continue learning and progress once they are back home.
