Pricing & Policies

Pricing Summary

Prices are stated as half of what many local trainers charge. Payment plans are available through their bank, allowing clients to pay over time rather than in full upfront. No exact pricing is listed, but packages include in-home sessions, facility-based day training, and ongoing support with regression insurance included at no extra cost.

Policies

They offer free regression insurance, meaning if a dog forgets training or new problems arise, clients can call for a free follow-up session. No cancellation or rescheduling policy is explicitly stated, but ongoing support is guaranteed as part of their program.

Testimonials

Wonder Dog Training & Games is a phenomenal place to help train your dog and yourself become better together!! The staff is extremely friendly and the trainers really know their stuff!! We had recently adopted a beautiful sweet baby girl from the Humane Society. She was sweet, but definitely needed some manners!! We knew she was going to be fairly big, especially in weight and that was a concern for us with her being around our grandchildren. Nobody wants to see an 90 pound dog jumping on people, especially little people and being unruly!! We definitely went to the right place!! We learned so much and not just commands but how and why it all works together. They don’t just teach your dog how to behave, but teach us humans and give us the tools to continue to carry on after training is complete. In a sense, it’s truly not complete, as they are there for you and your dog even after, if behaviors or other problems arise. We loved our trainer, Jesse and our dog couldn’t wait to go there and learn!! I can’t recommend this place enough!! You absolutely cannot go wrong!! They truly set you up for success!! Thanks Wonder Dog!!

We can’t say enough good things about Wonder Dog! The training with Rufus was life-changing–not just for him, but for us as well. The guidance, support, and consistent follow-up on his progress made all the difference. What truly stood out was the love and thoughtful care behind every step.

Rufus didn’t just improve–he transformed with love. Every tool, every session helped him grow, and it was clear he truly enjoyed the experience. The way he happily greets all the staff says it all!

Jessie is incredible, and Gordon’s dedication is just as impressive. We’re beyond grateful and want to highlight the amazing work they both do. Highly recommend Wonder Dog for anyone who wants not just results, but a joyful journey for their pup.

Can’t recommend these services enough! Their trainer, Jesse, in Memphis, really guided us every step of the way in training our Australian Shepard into becoming a well mannered member of the family. She took any concerns I had with using an e-collar and slowly acclimated our pup to the training device. He has no hesitations when I put on his collar and shows no signs of discomfort when it’s applied, just a little head turn and he starts looking for me so he can start getting to where he needs to go, towards me and not the street with cars, yikes! Now, our dog can run freely and play with the family in our large unfenced outdoor spaces safely, because we know he will come when called. It’s been a real miracle getting to see how our 6month old puppy has matured over the past two months in training.

About the Trainer

Wonder Dog Training & Games is a dog training business founded in 2018 that specializes in in-home training for dogs and their owners. They focus on teaching both the dog and the owner how to manage behavior problems where they occur—at home—rather than in parks or training facilities. Their approach includes training the 7 basic life commands and addressing specific issues like leash pulling, door bolting, jumping, biting, and poor recall. They offer a unique combination of in-home sessions, supervised group games called “Wonder Dog Tribe,” and a guaranteed results policy with free regression insurance. Their trainers come to the client’s home, use balanced training methods including corrections like prong collars and e-collars, and provide payment plans. They also offer day training at their facility and emphasize building confidence and socialization through fun, structured games. Their team includes certified dog professionals who are also pet owners, and they provide ongoing support even after training ends.

They serve Memphis, Nashville, Austin, and surrounding areas, and their services include behavior modification, puppy training, and recall training. They do not offer boarding, grooming, or walking services, but they do host group events and games to reinforce training in real-world settings.

Wonder Dog differentiates itself by guaranteeing results, offering in-home training (uncommon in the industry), providing payment plans, and including free follow-up support if behaviors regress. They also offer a free training evaluation to begin the process.

Accomplishments

Founded in 2018, Wonder Dog has trained over 400+ families annually. Corey McDaniel, the founder, is certified in all 6 categories of dog training through the #1 dog training school in North America. They are voted #1 Dog Trainer in their region and have earned 5-star ratings across platforms. Their unique model of in-home training with guaranteed results has disrupted the local industry.

How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with scheduling a free dog training evaluation via their website. After submitting basic information about the dog, a trainer will contact the owner to set up a home visit. During this evaluation, the trainer assesses the dog’s behavior and creates a customized training plan.
