Wendy is an exceptional dog trainer. The structure of the training program was logical and it was very convenient in that Wendy came to my home and emailed me documents after each lesson to reinforce what was covered each day. I even had a trainer before Wendy who could not get the job done, but I suspect that Wendy is the best dog trainer in the Louisville area because I saw a dramatic improvement in my dog after only 2 sessions.

I did 5 sessions with Wendy for our reactive dog, Gizmo. She provided us with the positive reinforcement tools that we use to work with Gizmo and his reactivity. She also helped us understand why he may react the way that he does. With these tools and the sessions I’m definitely seeing improvement his behavior. I definitely recommend Wendy for any of your pups needs.
