Testimonials
“Sophie was our new goldendoodle puppy in the fall of 2004 when we sent her to doggy bootcamp with Wilson Rosa and what a great decision that was. She has an energetic, endlessly happy personality with a stubborn streak that in tenA good friend recently described Sophie as “the best behaved dog she had ever known.”Amen.”
– Alan & Geri Messer
“To top it all he offers a lifetime written guarantee on his training which says a lot for his experience, confidence and capabilities. Wilson never tires of answering your questions; very accessible and extremely flexible. Actually, the training is more for the owners than the mutts! We are pretty much nearing the end of our Advanced Obedience sessions and Jesse is a much confident and well behaved pup.In Wilson, both Jesse and us have found not only a wonderful mentor and trainer but also a good friend. We wholeheartedly recommend Wilson to all of our doggie friends and will continue to spread the word.Thanks Wilson!”
– Sanjay
“As proud owners of a female boxer puppy “Nittany”, we had many expectations on what it would be like to have her in our life. One of them didn’t involve not being able to take leisurely walks with her.Our problems included Nittany constantly pulling, jumping at strangers, and being easily distracted during our walks. We decided to enter her into Wilson Rosa’s 10 day program when she was 7 mos. old to correct her bad habits. What a difference it made! We can now enjoy our walks with her and we continue to use Wilson Rosa to board and maintain her training.Thank you Wilson!”
