Testimonials
“I can’t recommend Wesley enough. We sent our 9 month old puppy, Penelope, to him for a board & train and it’s like she’s a different dog! She walks wonderfully on a leash and is no longer reactive to other dogs and people at all. We can let her off leash at the park to play fetch and can recall her at will. She’s much better in the house, where we can put her on “place” when she gets too active. She even does well in the kennel now, which she hated before. After having worked with Wesley, I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else. Very professional, very supportive, and you can tell he’s passionate about working with dogs every day.”

“Wesley is the best dog trainer we have ever had work with our golden retriever! Wesley has helped us work with our highly energetic adolescent golden to learn to calm himself. We recommend him highly!!!!!!”
– Stewart Kepper, Jr
“We learned so much through our private lessons with Good DaweG! On our first lesson, Kuzco (our cavalier), struggled tremendously with pulling on leash and settling at home in a designated place. After 5 lessons we have been able to see so much improvement during our walks. Kuzco no longer takes off running the second the front door opens, is walking close to my side during majority of the walk, and we are able to get him settled in a designated “place” at home like never before. Wesley has provided us with some great tools to continue practicing and I’m very grateful! Definitely recommend!!”
