Client Review on The Dog Wizard
Feedback:
*They were very kind to reach out and make the situation right. We appreciated it—————Our puppy recently graduated from The Dog Wizard. Overall I was happy with my experience but there were several shortcomings. When I started, the structure of the class seemed fairly straightforward. 15 minutes of questions, 15 minutes of learning training technique, 15 of practice and 15 of social time. Towards the last few months of our training the questions and training lectures would last the entirety of the class. Danielle, while clearly a great trainer, was notorious in my mind for lecturing for 45 minutes without giving us practice. Unfortunately this is what happened in our last class. Tethering was talked about from 6:30-7:22 and then we got 8 minutes of social time. I was disappointed that after spending $500 and 4 months with them that this was our last class. No fun good bye, no photos, no thank you’s. Learning the information is important but if someone is going to stand there and speak to us I could just watch free YouTube videos. Second, since new people come all the time it’s difficult to clearly teach everyone the important techniques. As someone who knows a lot about dog training and had read extensively on the subject I don’t think they did a good job of establishing basics such as mark and reward or positive reinforcement. Sometimes we would go 4 classes before someone mentioned what yes” was. It might be a good idea to set a newbie day so everyone can learn these basic techniques before starting real puppy class. Overall I did think it was valuable but Im a little sour that my last month was so disappointing... I really wish we did more hands on training. If $500 for puppy training is not too much in your mind then definitely go for it, but if $500 seems a little pricey then you may be disappointed
