Testimonials

We had such a great experience working with Willis Wolfpack Dog Training. From the very beginning, Joe was patient, professional, and supportive with us and our dogs. He really took the time to help us understand that our behavior is the foundation for our dogs’ success. The training went beyond obedience by being more focused on creating calm, confident dogs who can go almost anywhere with us.

Joe and Meg saved our dog! Our dog was unstructured and was aggressive to other people. Joe and Meg came in and helped us socialize and train our dog to obey basic and advanced commands. They were friendly, great with our dog, and very easy to learn from.

Joe and Meg are amazing! They helped lay the foundations for my dog and I, and walked us through each step of the way. I love that they come to you, which really helps tailor the training to your day to day life. They go as fast or as slow as needed to achieve your goals and truly set you up for success.

About the Trainer

Willis Wolfpack Dog Training is a mobile, in-home dog training service based in Roanoke, Virginia, founded by Joe and Megan. They specialize in teaching dog owners how to communicate with their dogs using body positioning and healthy boundaries, emphasizing leadership and structure to build a confident, well-behaved dog and stronger owner-dog relationship. Training is conducted in the dog’s home environment to maximize retention and real-life application. They offer a structured, five-session progressive program starting with FOUNDATION Level, followed by INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED, and ALPHA Levels, each focused on building obedience, impulse control, leash walking, reactivity management, and recall skills. Their approach is rooted in understanding canine psychology and creating consistent, clear expectations for dogs. They work with single and multiple-dog households and tailor training to each dog’s needs.

They prioritize education for owners, providing homework and follow-up support between sessions. Their philosophy centers on the belief that all dogs can improve with proper structure and leadership, and they aim to empower owners to become confident pack leaders. They also encourage outdoor activities and bonding as part of the training process, aligning with their own adventurous lifestyle with their dogs.
