Testimonials
“Gentle Wolf Dog Training KC really helped our dogs with walking on a leash and reacting to other dogs in the neighborhood. Hollis observed us and our dogs and gave us techniques to use to change their behavior. She demonstrated what to watch for, the correct training actions and the follow through to keep making progress. Our walks are much more enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend Gentle Wolf.”

“Angela is an absolute godsend. She needs her own show on Animal Planet she’s that good. I have had other trainers in the area work with my dogs before and I have spent around 2k on training total BEFORE calling Angela. I never received that value back… Since then we have had about 7 more sessions and can now walk in the park with other dogs without reacting which is crazy.”

“My beautiful dog violet was a project. I was beyond frustrated. OMG!! I could not have found a better dog trainer than Angela at GENTLE WOLF DOG TRAINING. After 1, yes, 1 session, my dog was on her way to being better behaved. Seriously, she was a different dog.”
