Built one dog and one family at a time
Sean started Dogwise Academy working one-on-one with dog owners and their dogs. The idea was simple: train the dog well, and teach the people who care for them too, so the training lasts at home.
That idea grew into a team of experienced trainers across the country. We've worked with thousands of dogs, from first-time puppy parents to families facing serious behavior problems. We've stood by families through the hard moments, and we've celebrated the breakthroughs with them.
We don't pretend training is easy. It takes work from us and from you. What you can count on is honesty, a clear plan and a team that shows up for you and your dog.
“We're not here to make training sound easy. We're here to make it work.”
Our values
Five things that guide how we train dogs and how we work with families.
Care
Your dog lives in their trainer's home and is treated like part of the family. Their comfort and safety come first, every day.
Commitment
We're committed to owners who are committed to their dog. When you put in the practice at home, we put in the time, with follow-up lessons and support for the life of your dog.
Honesty
We tell you what training can do, what it takes from you and what it costs before you book. No sugarcoating.
Communication
Photo and video updates while your dog trains, and a team that answers your questions long after.
Individuality
No two dogs are alike. Every plan is built around your dog's age, personality and needs, and around your family's routine.
The people who train your dog
Every Dogwise Academy trainer trains from their own home. Here are a few of them.
