Big shoutout to Rina

Big shoutout to Rina, the best trainer! My dog Blue used to be a handful, pulling on the leash and chasing everything. Now, thanks to Dogwise Academy, she's much better behaved. She walks nicely on the leash, waits for me, and follows commands well. I wish we could have done more, but it's good for now. Me and Blue are having a good time together now.

Our trainer, Tressie, was wonderful to work with!

Our trainer, Tressie, was wonderful to work with! She did a great job with Finn, our nervous pup, and gave both him and us strategies and routines to continue training after his time with her. We got detailed daily updates and clear communication. Can’t say enough nice things about Tressie and the program overall. Highly recomended!

I highly suggest this for anyone looking to train their dog.

I highly suggest this for anyone looking to train their dog. I have noticed a lot of progress! Before, my dog used to be wild when going outside, but now he listens very well! Every week, I saw changes in my dog from the videos Rina shared. I feel much more sure and relaxed when taking my dog out in public places!

Rina is kind and knows what she’s doing.

Rina is kind and knows what she’s doing. She always kept me updated with videos and pics of his training, and she helped build a plan that fit my schedual. They also check often to make sure your dog is fine. Before he would bark and pull a lot at dogs or people, but now he walks more calmly with little reaction.

My dog Louie was trained by Njoud

My dog Louie was trained by Njoud, and I’m very satisfied. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos during his training, which I really appreciated. I felt confident that Louie was treated well and loved while learning all the important behaviors. I’m happy with Dogwise and the great trainer, Njoud.

Dogwise was really good and super simple!

Dogwise was really good and super simple! Setting up and scheduling was a breeze. Luis did an awesome job with my dog, he came back more well-behaved but still with his personality. Taking him for walks is way less stressful now, and I don't feel like I have to avoid other people or dogs.

They were very professional, caring, and thorough.

They were very professional, caring, and thorough. Our trainer, Teresa, was fantastic. My dog left as a maniac and came home very well-behaved. This was money well spent, and I am lerning and being trained as well as my dog. Thank you so much, Dog Academy

Ryan and Lukas were great with my dog Joey

Ryan and Lukas were great with my dog Joey, and they made sure I had everything I needed to make sure we could succeed in the future. Emmalee was really quick to respond through the whole process and kept me informed at every stage.

Amazing Experience

They've done so much for us with our anxious little pup! The board & train and follow up support has really made a difference and allowed us to better understand what role we have moving forward! Thank yu guys so much!

Rina did an amazing job with Cooper’s training.

Rina did an amazing job with Cooper’s training. She handled a lot, over 100 dogs in the lab. He is much better now. Follows all commands. I’m able to manage him well. I would suggest her to everyone.

I would definitely suggest Dogwize.

I would definitely suggest Dogwize. Lauren was quick and always on time with her actions and reports. As a retired military person, I really appreciated that. She did a great job with my Brooks.

Lauren is amazin!

Lauren is amazin! She sent vidios daily, communicated with me about evrything, and keeps helping and followin up with me. She has changed my dog and my family is so thankful!

Great Experience

We trained with Njoud for 4 weeks and saw a big difference upon our dog's return! Still a lot of work to do but we're on the right path now with the support they've offered.

After a tough two weeks with one trainer, Lauren

After a tough two weeks with one trainer, Lauren took over and she was really good. She worked with us to take great care of Murphy, treating him well and teaching him lots. She updated us every day on how he was doing. Even though Murphy got sick (not because of Lauren), and had to leave a day early, he's way better behaved now. He walks nicely on the leash and likes his crate. Before, he used to hate it. There's still some things he could get better at, but picking the two-week training with Lauren was definitely the right choice. We think she's great at what she does.

Ryan did a good job! Our dog Pico started the

Ryan did a good job! Our dog Pico started the training program with no basic skills since he was a stray. Ryan was clear and straightforward about what we could expect for Pico's training. He kept us updated throughout the process. Pico returned not only able to sit and lie down, but also calmer, able to walk without pulling, and more settled. His new confidence shows in how he interacts with the world, people, and other dogs! Although it was a big financial investment, it has made a big difference for us. Ryan is very skilled at what he does!

We're really pleased with our puppy's

We're really pleased with our puppy's training program. Robert is a great trainer who really cares. He kept us updated on our puppy's daily routine. She returned home very calm and well-behaved. Robert treated her like his own and did a good job training her. Thanks for a great experience! I'll definitely recommend Dogwise Academy training and Robert to anyone needing help with dog training.

The process was smooth for having my dog picked

The process was smooth for having my dog picked up and dropped off. I only did 3 weeks of training, so my dog didn't fully change, but the goals I had set were followed and the previous training I had done was reinforced well.

DESTROYED MY DOG

My dog left mischievous . He came back cujo. Very reactive and traumatized. They dont do refunds and their response was to not take him outside to dr's appointments, parks, or the yard without a leash an electric collar. Get an expensive one and use high voltage or he may not respond. He looked under weight and I honestly dont believe that they fed him til time to come home. Do not use this company. They are unethical scam artists and they will break your dog

Did nothing but not feed her

We only have two things walking better on leash and not to attack the cats and she can do neither. They didn’t do anything but stave her. She came back skin and bones. Her ribs are showing and her back end bones are showing. She is now afraid of everything, she was a happy loving dog and now she very timid. What the hell did you do to my sisters dog. Dog is a pit bull and her name is Jazzy. If I could rate lower I would. Minus 10.

Drago’s Transformation: From Wild to Wonderful

Jackson and his crew are just amazing! My wild 19-month-old Doberman, Drago, turned into a calm and well-mannered pup thanks to them. What I couldn’t manage in months, they did in just a few weeks. I got so many updates—videos, pictures, and weekly reports—so I could see Drago’s progress. When I picked him up, he was so happy and bonded with his trainers. They also spent a lot of time showing me the techniques to keep Drago’s good behavior going, and they really work! I travel a lot for work and used to worry about taking Drago along. But now, I feel confident taking him anywhere. The day after he came back, I took him to my hour-long appointment, and even my practitioner adored him. Recently, we went to a beach volleyball tournament, and Drago was perfect—he heeled, sat, lay down, and didn’t react to people or other dogs, no matter how they behaved. He followed every command like a pro. The team’s care and support were top-notch. They guided us through everything. I’m definitely sending Drago back for more advanced training in the future. Big thanks to Jackson and the team for making our bond so much stronger. I’m forever grateful! ~One very happy customer

Walking with Logan now is

Walking with Logan now is an absolute dream. He used to pull on the leash and react to every dog we came across, which was super stressful. But now? Totally calm and relaxed. Cal was amazing to work with. I was really anxious about leaving Logan, but Cal kept me updated and treated Logan like his own. He was professional, kind, and really honest. The first time Logan came back and showed some reactivity, Cal handled it perfectly. I can't imagine recommending anyone other than Cal and your company. This experience has totally changed how I feel about dog trainers. I was so nervous before because of all the negative stuff I'd heard, but now I tell everyone to contact your company if they have training issues. Since we moved, we were worried about all the dogs and people around, but thanks to Cal, Logan's made huge progress. He just walks by other reactive dogs like it's nothing. Big thanks to you and Cal for everything!

Our experience with Dogwise Academy

Our experience with Dogwise Academy was a bit of a rollercoaster. We sent our 1-1/2 year old Mini Bernedoodle, Nyla, to their 3-Week Board and Train Program in July 2024. Initially, things were rough. The first trainer kept rescheduling and was unresponsive. When Nyla returned, she was worse off, scared of people and dogs, and had more behavioral problems. It was a mess. But then, Rina stepped in. She was a game-changer. We sent Nyla back for another 2-week session with Rina, and the difference was night and day. Rina was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about Nyla's progress. She even checks in on Nyla regularly. Now, Nyla is a much better-behaved dog, and it’s all thanks to Rina. If you're in central Florida, I can’t recommend her enough. She's amazing.

I have to share our

I have to share our experience with Anita and Rina. Anita walked us through the onboarding process so smoothly, breaking everything down so clearly. Rina was our dog's trainer and she was wonderful. She picked up our dogs from home which was a huge relief for us. Her communication was top-notch, constantly updating us, and I felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. When our dogs came back, they were different in the best way. Our two energetic mini golden doodles were still their happy selves but now they actually listen! Even our youngest puppy calms down better now. Rina keeps in touch, checking in even after the training. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but seeing our well-behaved dogs, it's worth every penny. Truly a great experience!

Tressie is an amazing dog

Tressie is an amazing dog trainer! Harlem was a wild child, especially on walks. Walking him used to be a nightmare, but now it’s a pleasure. He listens to me, doesn't pull on the leash, and ignores other dogs when I tell him to. Tressie showed me the right way to use commands, and it works like magic. His place command is rock solid now. He used to sneak out of place, but now he stays put until I release him. Jumping was also an issue, but he’s much better at listening when I say OFF. The daily updates from Tressie were great; I could see the progress Harlem was making. He no longer needs treats for every command, which is a huge improvement. I’m so happy with Tressie's training and will recommend her to all my dog-owning friends.

We’re so grateful for all their help with Goose!

My boyfriend and I got a Doberman, Goose, and needed some serious training help. We found Dogwise Academy online and reached out. From the start, everything was smooth. Communication was on point! We were assigned Joseph as our trainer and honestly, he was a lifesaver. Joseph was super patient and really kind to Goose. He worked on everything we needed and sent us daily updates, which we loved. When Goose came home, she slipped back into an old habit but Joseph assured us it was normal. He explained how to correct her and keep up with the training. Even now, Joseph stays in touch and answers any questions we have. Our experience with Joseph and Dogwise Academy has been fantastic. We’re so grateful for all their help with Goose!

Cal's been amazing from beginning

Cal's been amazing from beginning to end, even before Dixie, our dog, was officially under his care. We had doubts about the long training process, but Cal reached out and addressed all our concerns. When he came to pick Dixie up, she instantly warmed up to him, and we felt reassured she was in good hands, even though it was tough to let her go. Cal kept us updated daily with training videos and progress reports. Dixie returned home with better leash and door manners and was way less reactive to other dogs. Cal also gave us detailed instructions on how to keep up the training. Even after she got home, Cal checked in to see how she was adjusting. It's clear Dixie and Cal shared a special bond, and we're really grateful.

Dogwise Academy is a lifesaver

Man, Dogwise Academy is a lifesaver! Njoud, our trainer, was incredible with our pup, Max. Before training, Max was a little terror—constantly chewing everything, having potty accidents, and never coming when called. It was a mess. But after a few sessions with Njoud, Max waits for me to take him out, no more potty accidents, and the chewing is a thing of the past. Recall? So much better, it's like night and day. What’s really cool is that Njoud will come back in four weeks to check in and tweak anything if needed. That kind of dedication shows she genuinely cares about Max and us as his owners. Couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Dogwise Academy for anyone needing solid dog training! 🐾

Amazing experience

Getting my Vizsla, Luna, trained by Cal was a game-changer for us. Cal was incredibly patient and used positive methods that Luna responded to so well. He even sent daily videos, which helped me understand what to do once Luna came back home. Luna picked up commands like "sit" and "place," and she became a pro at loose leash walking—making our long walks enjoyable and stress-free. When I picked her up, Cal spent a couple of hours with me to ensure I knew how to reinforce her training. Plus, he was always available for any questions during the first week. Cal's passion and kindness made the whole experience amazing. If you're considering training, Cal's the person to go to—no regrets, just results!
