Testimonials

“Kelly wheeler of dog 3 training is an amazing trainer. She is somebody who truly cares about the pets as well as the owners. She is very good at what she teaches. You can see it when she works with the animals and the animals are drawn to her. They listen as if they know exactly what she is saying. Me and my service dog worked with Kelly and she was amazing at helping me to train and work with Denali to become the service dog I needed him to be. You will find her one of the best trainers available.”

“Kelly is an amazing dog trainer! She helped us learn how to communicate and grow our bond with our new rescue dog that was anxious about the world. Using the skills she has taught us, our pup is much less reactive and enjoying life a whole lot more (and we’re less stressed when we go on walks with him)! Kelly has an empathetic approach by listening to the issues and not judging. She then clearly explains and demonstrates the skills, provides a safe space to practice with the pup, and is so sweet with the dogs. She is very patient and goes at the pace of the dog, even with our old boy that takes life at a slow pace. It was a pleasure working with her – she has truly changed our lives for the better! I recommend her to anyone that wants to grow closer to their dog and learn skills to communicate with them! Thank you, Kelly!”
