Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
WizeDogs offers “Pawsitive Leadership Training” based on five core principles: Confidence, Calmness, Consistency, Communication, and Concentration. They explicitly avoid the use of shock, choke, or prong collars.
Their training options include Private Lessons, Board & Train, Group Lessons, and Advanced Training. Private Lessons focus on K-9 education and proper mechanics to establish the owner as the dog’s leader, teaching effective communication and consistent techniques. The Board & Train program involves three sessions per day in a loving home environment, providing essential socialization skills, with owners becoming students upon reunion to maintain new behaviors. Group Lessons are designed for dogs with fundamental obedience, focusing on distraction training and polite greetings with other dogs and people. Advanced Training aims for “Off-Leash” control, enabling dogs to enjoy activities like hikes and fishing, and also highlights the potential for service and therapy dogs.
Programs are personalized based on the dog’s goals, lifestyle, breed, age, and the owner’s handling experience. They emphasize the importance of starting puppy training early to shape lifelong behavior and strengthen the bond with the family.
Testimonials
“What a wonderful experience to adopt our sweet Kaya from WizeDogs! We live 150 miles away and once the adoption process started, we were provided with photos and videos of our new puppy and each day we fell more and more in love with her. When we made the drive from Yuma to Surprise, AZ to pick her up on Cinco De Mayo, we were beyond excited to meet Kaya and her family. Kaya came with all of her shots, dewarmed, dew claws removed, papers for her AKC registration, microchip and blood line family scroll. She even had her own infant blanket they rubbed down with Kaya’s mother Zoe so she would remember her mother’s smell when we introduced Kaya to her new forever home. Our experience with WizeDogs and the adoption of our beautiful chocolate lab puppy was flawless even 150 miles away! WizeDogs has the passion, TLC and professionalism we were looking for in a breeder. We are forever grateful for WizeDogs.”
