H.W. Dog Training is a personalized dog training service based in Toledo, Ohio, led by owner and trainer Hans Wilke, who has spent his life working with dogs, starting as a kennel boy alongside his father who trained police and security canines. The business offers training in a calm, home-like facility designed to mimic a real living room, helping dogs learn good manners in environments similar to their own homes. Services include puppy basics, advanced obedience, behavior modification, and private in-home board and train programs, all using balanced reinforcement methods tailored to each dog’s temperament and learning pace.

H.W. Dog Training specializes in addressing common issues like leash pulling, barking, separation anxiety, and reactivity, while also offering personal protection and advanced obedience training. Training is available seven days a week, with follow-up lessons to help owners maintain progress and strengthen their bond with their dogs. The facility is not a crowded kennel, but a low-stress, real-life setting focused on building confidence and connection.

Additional services include video and photo galleries showcasing training results, and direct access to Hans for personalized guidance. The business serves dog owners seeking a compassionate, individualized approach to training in a peaceful environment.
