Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How can I get my dog to stop being destructive?
Many destructive and behavioral issues, can be remedied simply by providing direction and guidance to your dog. Just taking your dog for a walk evey day can help immensely. You want your dog to be physically and mentally tired. If you're having trouble walking your dog or teaching commands, we can be of great help to you. We offered balanced dog training and have been teaching owners effective ways to successfully train their dogs since 2007.

Should I send my dog away to a trainer or learn to train myself?
The best trainer for your dog is you. Honestly, it's never just a dog issue, when you are experiencing obedience, behavior and manners issues. Your dog needs to view you as it's leader, or a better word would be mentor. Building a trusting bond involves having the right tools and techniques to help your dog become a really successful dog. When you send your dog away, you're giving away that bonding opportunity and the dog doesn't learn to obey you. The best way to earn your dogs trust and respect is training your own dog, using kind, patient, and effective techniques. We never use pinch, choke or shock collars.

How much does this usually cost to bring in a puppy who is agressive with his siblings?
First, we do not take in dogs for training - we teach you, the owner, very effective techniques to help you solve the issue. Our techniques have remained successful with behavior issues since 2007! We can set him up for success if we start before the issue becomes serious. If the puppy is already at your home, call as soon as possible to set up training.

I rescued a 4 year old Chihuahua who was not housebroken or trained in any way. Because Chihuahuas are notoriously difficult to train and housebreak, I thought I might need some assistance. I have been working with Wendy for a few months now and I am learning how to train my dog; and it’s working. Today I broke a dish in the kitchen. I wanted to keep my dog out of the kitchen so I could safely clean up the shards without subjecting her to injury. I told her to sit and stay, she did. When she did not hold her stay position long enough (she is still learning) I used another technique Wendy taught me. My pup was never under foot and I safely cleaned up the broken pieces. Everyone wants a well trained dog. Sometimes, you Need a well-trained dog to keep them safe. Thank you again, Wendy. I highly recommend Leader of the Pack to anyone interested in a positive dog training experience.

It's been many years since I first met Wendy..... and I have used many trainers over the years..... but it is Wendy's techniques that I return to time and time again! Positive reinforcement is absolutely necessary when training pups of all ages, but so are limits and boundaries .... just like children. Wendy teaches not just the pups, but more importantly, the parents. If i still lived in the area, I would never hesitate to use her again! This is a much too late "Thank You" Wendy !

I had the pleasure of working with Wendy, and I can't emphasize enough how incredible she is with dogs. Her training methods are nothing short of exceptional. She has a unique ability to connect with dogs, understand their needs, and help them flourish. What sets Wendy apart is her dedication to not only training dogs but also educating the owners on effective communication with their furry friends. While she is much more of a “dog person” than a “people person,” she compensates by imparting invaluable knowledge and techniques that bridge the gap between owners and their pets. Wendy's expertise goes beyond the surface; she delves deep into each dog's individual personality and tailors her approach accordingly. If you want a dog trainer who not only transforms your canine companion but also equips you with the tools to foster a stronger bond, Wendy is the perfect choice. She will put your dog first which is exactly what I would want and expect from a great dog trainer!

We hired Wendy, our Leader of the Pack personal dog trainer, and wow what an immediate difference in our pups! She spent an enormous amount of time with us in our home for our 1st visit and the results were amazing. Wendy teaches the psychology of how your dog views you and your leadership abilities. We have owned dogs our entire lives but have become lax in their training, "letting our dogs be dogs". After just our introductory visit with Wendy, we gained respect again from our dogs and a love that that has expanded in a much different way from that newly regained respect. They are confident but more importantly, they are confident in us as their owners, parents, and loving companions. We adore our pups as family, but how they view us as their Pack Leader is a new comfort for us all. Thank you Wendy, from the Oldham family!
