FirstBarkWe had a great experience with Back to Basics training. We adopted a puppy and wanted our family to work with a trainer to help with his behavior, listening, walks, etc. It was so helpful for all of us and our pup! Thank you Wen Tze for being an excellent and patient trainer!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you have a training facility?
Not right now. We do in home visits or meet in the middle for training sessions as we prefer to work outside. We want to train pups to listen better and more consistently outside (outdoors is where it gets difficult for them). Hope this helps!

Working with WenTze and her amazing team at Back to Basics was our first experience with boarding/training and we could not be happier! Our 5 month old mini bernedoodle Frankie was a bit tough to train. He needed lots of help in learning basic commands, socializing, potty training, setting a schedule and just grasping the puppy basics. From our first interaction with WenTze - we knew we made the best decision and were in the right hands. We were kept in the loop of all Frankie's progress via text, photos and videos. It was so exciting to watch his progress! He came home with so many new skills, learned basic commands and was a different (happier, more educated) dog! Additionally, WenTze was so helpful with offering lots of advice on all the things that can be can a bit challenging with a new pup. We will also be boarding with B2B/Posh Pets Club in the future as we know Frankie will be in THE BEST hands. This was really an exceptional experience and we are so very thankful for Back to Basics/Posh Pets Club and everyone on Frankie's team. Such an extraordinary business - We're forever grateful.
Jenn is amazing!!! In the two private sessions we had with her we noticed a change in our lab almost immediately! She is truly a puppy whisperer! Not only did she help us train our puppy but more importantly she helped train us and gave us great tools to use! Best money we’ve spent on our little puppy!
Highly recommend Back to Basics! After four private lessons with MJ, my 3 year old dog can run off leash in areas where it is safe for her to do so. The “come” command with treats works like a charm. Before working with MJ, this would not have been possible!!!
Wen was so wonderful with my puppy, Olive (yorkie/shih tzu). Olive couldn’t wait to see Wen. We had Olive do the two week day training. Wen sent us videos to help with our training at home. Olive has learned to sit, stay, place, down, leave it and she’s also has good social skills. Plus there is no pulling on our walks. She is eager to learn more. Thank you Wen!
