We sent our 4yo and 1yo pups to Wings & Whistles this past month. Not only did we learn a lot, we saw results after just the first week when we visited them to engage in training! Rachel is an awesome trainer- so patient and cares so much about your pups. She is down to earth and great at teaching you how to sustain all of the training at home! The dogs are doing great since we have arrived back at home and have shown sooooo much improvement in their obedience since sending them to W&W! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to enroll their dogs in W&W training!

We love Wings and Whistles! Been taking our Great Dane and Rottweiler mix there for boarding for four years, whenever we are out of town. This staff KNOWS dogs.They are pleasant and very accomodationg. With our Rott, at nine years old, they are attentive to her needs. Our GD did obedience training here when she was a pup and we saw noticeable changes. We love that they get to go out several times a day to run and play on the large property.Highly recommend!

Brought our Brittany for obedience and hunting training. She had a phenomenal time and learned a number of new skills/etiquette. She's still her happy self, but now we have the tools to communicate acceptable behavior with her. The staff were kind and knowledgeable and I was very impressed with their clear communication and process too. Would recommend to anyone.

In Home Obedience Training resulted in a well-trained dog who is happy being allowed to play leash free. We have a 6-month-old border collie with a teenager and a 7-year-old son. It is important that our dog be well mannered, safe, and happy. We were hesitant when we learned about ecollar training but our prior "treat training" experience was not working. I was pleasantly surprised by how effective the training is and how happy it made her. Even after I correct her behavior, my dog wags her tail and bounces over to me proud of herself. Our main goals were to have her come when called, sit, lay down, avoid jumping, and calm down (she is a border collie) when play time is over. The in-home training at Wings & Whistles accomplished all of our goals. Because it was in her home, Andrew and Mike were able to work on issues specific to us. What I did not expect is how happy it would make her and the rest of the family. She gets MORE walks and play time now that our kids feel she will listen to them. If you are on the fence, call now and they will happily walk you through how it works. You will not regret the small time and effort it takes to ensure a happier family.

“Miracle Mike” and “Awesome Andrew” as we refer to them as from Wings & Whistles Dog Training & Boarding Facility has been coming into our home for 1 hour a day Monday-Friday for the last 2 weeks to work with our 5 1/2 month old Goldendoodle Norman. I have never used a training facility like this before but not only were they caring with Norman (which he LOVED them) He worked with us as they worked with Norman and we call him Miracle Mike because not only does he have some super power dog whisperer talent, he had Norman doing things with-in the first day and really worked with us to help make Norman successful! Norman graduated today and on a scale of 1-10 I would rank them a 20! They do use a shock collar, which I was not sure about but they never went over a 2 and 95% of the time he used a 1. The corrections were few and the response was amazing! We loved the at-home training because there was no transition from the facility to our home. If your dog needs training (no matter what age) I would 100% recommend this place with-out hesitation. THEY ARE AMAZING!!!! Worth every penny!
