Arrowwood Shepherds, Inc. is a dog training business led by professional trainer Wesley Jenson Sr., based in Woodbine, Maryland. The business specializes in behavior modification, aggression rehabilitation, and obedience training for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. Training focuses on empowering owners with the knowledge and tools to train their dogs effectively, ensuring long-term success. Services include group classes (Puppy, Rescue, and Intermediate Obedience), private home visits, and specialized aggression modification programs. Wesley emphasizes positive reinforcement for puppies and rescue dogs, while incorporating corrections when necessary for adult dogs and behavioral issues. He offers lifetime registration, meaning owners can return for refresher training at any time. Arrowwood also supports local rescues and shelters, and hosts community events like photos with Santa Wes to raise funds for All Shepherd Rescue.

Wesley’s methods are tailored to each dog’s individual needs, addressing issues such as fear-based aggression, territorial behavior, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and resource guarding. He trains dogs regardless of breed—owners of non-German Shepherds are welcome. His approach combines real-time adaptation, owner education, and consistent reinforcement to build confidence and trust between dogs and their families.

Accomplishments

Wesley Jenson Sr. has trained dogs for over 10 years, starting with his own dog Kane. He has successfully rehabilitated dogs with severe fear-based and territorial aggression, including a Neopolitan Mastiff and a fearful German Shepherd. He supports rescue organizations and has helped numerous dogs find permanent homes through his Rescue Class program.

How to Get Started!

Begin with a $100 initial consultation, which requires all household members to attend. After the consultation, complete a registration form, sign a waiver, and pay a $300 lifetime registration fee to begin training. Home visits require direct scheduling with Wes.
