K-9 Confidence - Collingwood, Ontario

Wendell is the most amazing Dog Trainer!! He helped me with my very difficult Golden Retriever puppy who is now 6 months old. I was working with another Trainer prior which made things worse. My dog was controlling the house and me. His bad behaviour was out of control! As a previous owner of several puppies, I was at my Witt’s end with this one. I heard about Wendell from a friend who used him with great success and decided to call him. I saw results immediately. Wendell really knows dogs and how to fix bad behaviours. He taught me how to deal with each issue and was very patient. My dog responded positively to Wendell and enjoyed the training. He cares about your dog. I get compliments all the time from friends and neighbours on how well behaved his is now. I am now able to enjoy him. I am very grateful for Wendell’s training. It changed everything and well worth the investment.

Wendell is an amazing trainer. He is knowledgeable, practical and friendly. Our dogs leash skills and overall behavior have significantly improved after just a few sessions with him. I would recommend Wendell to any dog owner. He has a wealth of knowledge to share.

Me and my partner adopted a puppy not knowing how to train him properly. We met Wendell and immediately knew we wanted to have him help with our pup. 6 classes in and we can’t believe how amazing our dog is. Listens, doesn’t jump on people anymore walks on his leash without tugging us! It’s truly amazing! Will forever recommend Wendell to everyone who needs a trainer! Thank you Wendell for training our boy and us! We appreciate you and all your hard work!

Wendell has given my husband and me the confidence to deal with our skittish, anxious and reactive 2 year old aussiedoodle. We adopted her at 6 months from a puppy mill environment, she missed the early proper socialization.
Over the 7 weeks of one on one training the improvements in her are clear. Wendell came to our home and saw our environment, he gave us tips to deal with situations we have had to deal with while walking her. We went to his home and had structured lessons with his well mannered dog as a distraction. Reinforcing good manners, heel, down/ stay and recall. He gave us calm and clear instructions in lessons and homework to work on during the week. Absolutely worth the time and $$! Thank you Wendell!

I cannot recommend Wendell enough!!! I recently adopted a 3.5 yr old Doberman (Lucy) from a rescue organization. She had been through a lot and I did not have any info on her previous life other than she was used for breeding and then dumped and found as a stray. I wanted to do right by us both and get proper training. Wendell's decades of experience, especially with working breeds is invaluable. His knowledge of K-9 and human behavior is spot on. I welcomed all his instruction and practiced all day, every day. Results were immediate and incredible. I now have a level of comfort with her and fundamental tools going forward, making me a much better handler and ensuring my dog and I understand each other and enjoy our walks and time with each other. We get compliments every day from neighbors, strangers and other people on the trails on how far we have come in a short time. I am grateful every day for this experience. I highly recommend K-9 Confidence.

Sincerely,

My experience with Wendel was fabulous.
I hired him to help my Mom.and her dog learn to walk.properly as I was afraid my 78 year old mother may get pulled and fall.
From the moment Shado met Wendel, his walking behavior improved.
It was actually magical.
Shado was already a very good dog but pulled a lot.
Not only did Shado's pulling improve under Wendel's guidance, he went from being a very good dog to an exceptional dog.
Although we have lost Shado, people still comment on what a special.dog he was.
Thank you Wendel for helping to keep my Mom safe.
Shado was our dog of a lifetime and we deeply miss him every day!!!

We learned a lot about how to train our dog from Wendell. She is looking like a well trained dog! Wendell's professional knowledge and experience was great. He really knows dogs. Your best bet for a trainer.

We have a very high energy husky shepherd puppy who had become more than we could handle to the point where we weren’t sure what we should do. We signed her up initially for a group training program locally with the result being a now very anxious puppy and two very frustrated puppy parents. It was a waste of time and money. We could no longer take her for walks, were nervous to invite anyone over, and were generally at our witt’s end.
As a last resort we called Wendell and signed up for his training program. Within our first assessment session, he had her walking nicely beside us, and that was just the beginning. Wendell came to our place for two sessions so that he could helps us learn how to overcome challenges we faced in our home and community. Our son recently commented that our crazy girl is now the best behaved dog on the block! Through our sessions, Wendell taught us through humour and straightforwardness that we needed the training as much and probably more than Hazel did. Hazel has now graduated from Wendell’s basic training course and we are beyond grateful.
I would absolutely recommend any dog owner to take this course. Thank you so much Wendell!
