What 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!

I can't say enough good things about Back to Basics! Wenz and MJ were an absolute joy to work with and completely transformed the trajectory of my puppy's training in such an amazing way. Within just a few weeks, he was potty trained and learned basic commands like sit, stay, and come. MJ’s approach is both kind and effective, and her dedication to my puppy's progress was clear every step of the way. I’m so grateful for her expertise and patience – she truly made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Wenz and Posh Pet are excellent. We took our very unruly, energetic large 8 month old coonhound/lab mix for classes. In one session we saw results. I have worked with four other trainers with other dogs and never saw such immediate results. Wenz texted us between sessions to check on our homework and answered questions between sessions. She was professional and caring plus she is a talented trainer.

I signed my 1 year old husky mix Frankie up for the board and train program and would absolutley recommend. Before training, Frankie would constantly jump on guests, pull on walks, and had a very hard time listening to us when there were distractions. Frankie is like a new dog- she listens to off and hasn't jumped on anyone since training and she is 100x easier to walk. She had such a good time training and at daycare playing with all the dogs. She came home super happy and tired :) Thank you Wen!!!

Would definitely recommend this company! So communicative and willing to help.
MJ was wonderful to work with & really catered to my dog’s (and my) needs and met us where we were at throughout the training process.

We took our puppy Tyson to Wen for the 2 week board and train. Wen was nothing short of Amazing! We were updated on Tysons day care daily and training videos were sent every other day. I can’t say enough good things about everyone there. Tyson absolutely loved Wen we almost thought he didn’t want to leave her. 1000% recommend Wen and her team!
