Then I hear about Shelby & Lauren at the Wilmington Dog Wizard and they changed our lives? Coco went through the Off Leash Program. There's nothing better than having a well trained dog.

After completing the training program we became a member of a WDW Graduates and enjoy doggie socials and pack walks with other like minded dog owners. It's a great time!

It was amazing how fast he gained respect from both of my dogs just after one lesson. Rauf, not only teaches you the proper techniques to connect with your pup, but most importantly teaches you how to be a strong pack leader in the eyes of your pack. This experience has taught me how to be a more confident leader in the eyes of my dogs. I would highly suggest Rauf to anyone looking to be a solid leader for your pack!!

My family hired you to help us "train" or 2 dogs. Your methods and techniques were not what we…read moreexpected. Before we began we thought it would be easy. We thought after 6 hour long sessions our dogs would be "trained" long after your help. Your education and knowledge shared with us changed our mindset. Because of you and your dedication to service we learned we had to acknowledge our behaviors that were unhealthy for our relationship with our dogs. Because of you we realized we were going about it all wrong and had to acknowledge that. We had to listen better and become more consistent in our interactions with our pets. We had to establish a new relationship with them that communicated to them that we are the Alphas in the home and any where they were with us. Ultimately, you showed us changes that we needed to make in us so that we could get our desired outcome with our pets. It was our responsibility to accept the change. Your insight into the behavior of K9s is unprecedented and your program is like no other we have researched. I WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO SPEAK HIGHLY IF YOU AND YOUR SERVICE! It is my opinion that those that do not get the results simply failed to practice the proven systems you have created. I am confident your contributions to the relationships with K9s and their owners far outweigh those that fail to use the system consistently. Thank you for giving us the tools and insight that has allowed our relationship with our four legged kids better than it has ever been. I rate your service

Levi absolutely loved this structured socializing hour and had a blast. On top of making a new doberman bestie, we also got a lot of training tips and advice from the trainer, Charisma. We even worked on a little loose leash training and a new trick called "place." I wasn't expecting so much for only $10! After our first social hour, Levi became the most loving puppy ever! What was once an energizer bunny is now a chill and cuddly K-9. I don't know what magic they did to my dog but I highly recommend bringing your puppy here!! I truly wish I didn't spend all my money on another training business because I would've loved for Levi to do their day training program. I really hope they have an adult dog social hour in the future. Levi is rapidly outgrowing the rest of these puppies and would love an adult doggy date.

With new leadership skills, dog owners can confidently venture out with their dog without being embarrassed by leash pulling, or lunging and barking at others.

We have an eight month old Rottweiler named Harley, and she's a stubborn girl. She likes to push…read morethe boundries of obedience. She will try to get away with anything she can. As a result of this I didn't have high expectations when sending her for the 2 week obedience off leash training. We met Tara while she was training a five month old German Shepherd at Topsail Island and we're very impressed with how well the dog was trained. I thought if Harley could only be half that good it would be amazing. Terra took Harley for two weeks and I knew she'd have her work cut out for her. She was definitely up to the challenge. We picked up Harley after the 2-week training and were blown away with how well trained she was. Don't get me wrong she's still very stubborn and it's going to still require continued work for the training to become part of Harleys normal routine given that she still so stubborn. I mean let's be realistic nobody's going to take your dog for two weeks and give it back to you perfectly obedient pet. But what Tara was able to do with Harley is astounding. To watch our 10 year old son have control over a 80lb Rottweiler puppy that used to jump on him and knock him down was amazing. To see her sit, stay, heel, lay down on command is the Wow factor we were hoping for. Thanks Tara for an amazing job! We will keep building on the foundation you have laid with Harley! Thanks to you she is now a great pet!

We could not be more pleased with the time spent with Jan and the behaviors our dog Ted has…read moredisplayed since training. Each hour together provided an opportunity to help us understand how to be good masters and to teach Ted some new behaviors (and tricks). Our main goal was to increase our confidence in control of Ted while off leash (hence the name of the company) and to eliminate nuisance barking when people walk by our home. Since our lessons concluded we are able to relax in peace when people walk by (no excessive barking and no worry Ted will approach people to say "hello" as they walk by). If you want a more positive experience in pet ownership, give Jan a call and look forward to your "new" dog!

Not only did help me raise the funds by sharing my fundraiser, she grew to love both my dogs. I never leave the house unless my boyfriend is home because my dog has separation anxiety and destroys the house. The new dog has grown severely attached to me, I assume from whatever trauma he faced on the streets. The new one is not crate trained and screams and soils himself if you put him in one. I have a lot of medical conditions that I used to have to cancel appointments for if I my boyfriend was out of town for work. Now I am able to call PGPC and they sit with my boys for the hour I'm gone and make sure they are safe! I honestly would be lost with out them.
