If you are looking for help with your dog and aren't sure who to choose -- choose Walter!! He has provided so much helpful insight that has completely expanded our knowledge of our dog's struggles, made us better owners, and made our dog more confident and sure of herself. Our dog, Mars, is deathly terrified of people (specifically men) and yet her and Walter have become fast friends. Mostly, we are reassured knowing that the person who is helping us genuinely cares for our dog just as much as we do. His guidance is firm but gentle and he never pushes her to do more than she's ready for. We are super thankful we found a trainer who has taken his time with our dog, educated us along the way, and given us so much hope that Mars can be a happier, more confident dog.

Walter is fantastic! When we first met, it took Walter all of 5 seconds to build trust with my puppy even though he is a little fearful of new people. My puppy stayed with Walter for two weeks to do a board and train program. Being part of a pack allowed my dog to build confidence while learning fundamental commands like sit, stay, wait, come, etc. Walter is a wonderful human and great dog trainer. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful 1 on 1 training for their dog!

Walter is a great guy and does wonderful work with dogs. Me and my boyfriend hired him to help us with our dog Albedo. Who was reactive and had fear aggression towards people and animals. He helped us build Albedo's confidence, his bond with us, and gave us help on getting a structured system that Albedo could thrive in. Though our sessions are now over Albedo has come a long ways. He has been able to be around other dogs, people, and strange places without reacting. Before this we couldn't walk near or around other animals/people etc. without lunging, barking, and growling. Albedo has come a long way and it's thanks in part to Walter and the work we put in to make Albedo have the best life possible. We are in no means done with our training of Albedo and if we ever run into snags in the future we will definitely be hiring Walter in the future. If you are looking for a dog trainer in the Seattle area he is your guy.

Wolfman’s Canines and Wally go above and beyond to bring you and your fur babies closer than ever before by providing world class obedience and real world training. Not only do they have award winning training they also provide boarding in a safe and fun environment for your pet. Wolfman’s even sponsored my event and raffle all the way here in the Sunshine State and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. Donut says “HI!!” Uncle Wally!!

Walter was amazing! I would recommend him to anyone looking for dog training or boarding services in the area. My dog's confidence skyrocketed which led to him learning so much. I no longer feel nervous having my dog around other dogs or worried he will be reactive towards other dogs on walks. He provides clients with constant photos, videos, and updates. I was also provided with many resources to help my dog's progress after the board & train we did. Previously, I used different trainers and none of them seemed to really get any progress with my dog, but I felt very fortunate to find Walter. The improvement I saw with my dog was amazing and I am extremely grateful. I will definitely be utilize him for boarding and follow up training sessions in the future as well.
