‘21 Certificate of Excellence

Classes start Saturday January 6th. My name is Wendy Greene and I have over four decades of dog training experience. As an AKC (American kennel club) certified instructor, you can be sure that I have the knowledge to work with all types of dogs. I've worked in rescue and rehabilitation, private training, breeding, and extensively with service dogs. My training style is 95% positive, but I treat each dog and handler as an individual. As a special educator, I know that everyone, both dogs and people, have their own unique learning style. I have a large number of skills to draw on to help you and your dog achieve a happy healthy relationship. Rest assure that safety is my primary concern. All dogs must provide an up-to-date shot record and puppies must be at least 10 weeks old. I will offer a 12 week Canine Good Citizen Class starting Saturday January 6th from 1:00 to 2:30. This is for young dogs that haven't been trained yet or older dogs who are having difficulty staying calm and following directions in the presence of unfamiliar people and other dogs. This class will cover the following topics; dog psychology, reading a dog's intention through body language, general house manners, potty training, crate training, toys and treats, socialization checklist, sit, down, stay, come, heal, leave it, greeting a friendly stranger, greeting a friendly stranger with a friendly dog, accepting petting calmly, accepting evaluation by a veterinarian, accepting grooming, staying calm in the presence of unusual sights and sounds, walking on a loose leash past another dog, through a crowd, how to recognize appropriate play versus bullying behavior separation anxiety, and generally how to understand and speak "Dog". During this class we will use classic obedience exercises combined with fun road rally obedience courses and exciting agility challenges. You and your dog will have the opportunity to earn both your AKC Star Puppy Award and your AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification. Canine Good Citizen is considered the gold standard for dog training and will often earn you reduced rates on rent and homeowners insurance. It also prepares your dog for more challenging training as a Therapy Dog or even a Service Dog. The cost for this class is $50 per 90 minutes lessson or $600 . If you pay in full by the first lesson I reduce the cost to $500. My goal is to motivate students to complete all 12 weeks so that you don't stop training before you have a full understanding of how to work in partnership with your dog. I'm the only trainer I know that offers a guarantee for my puppy class graduates. If you and your dog aren't feeling confident after completing my program, I will give you up to three free private lessons to ensure that you meet your goals. I will also be offering an 8 week intermediate class for dogs that have mastered the basic commands and are comfortable in the presence of other dogs. We will work more on agility, trick training, and behaving appropriately in various environments in our community. If you're interested contact me to schedule an interview. If you prefer private lessons, I take on a limited number of clients whose dogs need one-on-one attention. A 90-minute session costs $75 if you and your dog come to me, or $100 to $125, depending on distance, if I travel to your home. Whether you choose a group class or private lessons with me, rest assured that you and your dog will both be treated as thinking feeling individuals. Unlike the big box stores, I tailor my instruction to each individual handler and dog. I teach you to think like a dog trainer so you can work happily together, not only with this puppy, but with every dog that you partner with in the future. Seeking professional training for yourself and your dog is one of the best things that you can do as a compassionate owner. I would love to help you achieve your training goals. If you believe that your dog could benefit from my years of professional experience, send me a message or contact me for a free consultation. References available on request.

What do you love most about your job?

My favorite part of working with people and their dogs is the moment when I first communicate clearly. I never know if the person or the dog is happier that communication is finally possible. But that moment of pure joy is what makes all the hard work worthwhile.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I'm a lifelong animal lover, particularly horses and dogs. I've had a Labrador retriever guide dog by my side since 1985. Those decades of interdependence and unconditional love have made me a better person. I want to share actually with as many people as I can.

Why should our clients choose you?

In addition to decades of dog training experience, I'm a special education teacher. My job was to figure out how to teach one skill 10 different ways to 10 different people. This not only helps me when I'm working with the clients, but also with their dogs. Every living being is born with a set of traits. They are moldable to a certain extent, but the typical one size fits all training methods that you'll find in the big box stores I like PetSmart only work for a small percentage of people and puppies. I have skills that I teach in each class, both beginner and intermediate, but how each person and dog Masters those skills is totally individualized. I try and get to know everyone is an individual and work with them in the way that they're most comfortable.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I can, but I generally choose not to. So much of working with people and animals has to do with the energy that's going on in the room and any particular moment. You just can't feel that through an internet connection.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

I encourage masks and have hand sanitizer on site for client use. We also maintain social distance both indoors and out.
