Welcoming a puppy into your home is a big deal! Puppies are full of energy and lust for life but they do need your help to make them be their best doggo-selves.

At WICD we use the art of cognitive learning, which means we encourage your pups to use their brain to get rewards, rather than luring them with a cookie! Our Science based, positive reinforcement programs are just the thing you need to get your pups started on the right paw.

Private training lessons are a great way to work on specific behavior challenges, including topics such as leash manners, counter surfing and accidents in the house for example. Sessions typically take place in the owners home and can sometimes take place in public spaces depending on the challenges your dog is having.

Private sessions are also a great way for pet owners to have a trainer’s undivided attention in order to better grasp training concepts and protocols.

Behavior Modification is about assessing the reason behind problem behaviors and devising an action plan to modify it. By understanding your dog, the cause of their problem behaviors, you can start to understand why your dog is having a hard time and start to help your dog improve.
