Reviews
MichaelTeri5I would like to thank Njoud for the three weeks she spent with my dog Teri. I am late writing this review my apology. Njoud and her family gave Teri so much love and care during the three weeks. Njoud helped Teri get on the right track, with house manners, walking her has improved. Njoud came out for a follow up, Teri went nuts so happy to see her and after giving Njoud some love she went right in following her commands. On our walk Njoud got to see Teri walking and gave me some more training that I needed. Thank you Njoud

Edward was a great trainer! it’s worth spending so much for training when you get what you ask for. My 1 year old lab mix had an aggressive streak and wouldn’t let anyone close him in his kennel without getting nasty about it. During the drop at home he went in the kennel and let me shut him in and bang on it with minimal sass. I couldn’t be happier, and I can tell my dog is happier too. Edward did a good job making sure I understood how to correct him and continue his training properly. He learned everything we wanted, and we have already planned our follow up to continue his training with his new tricks, and socialization with people. Not to mention how great the updates were, pictures or videos almost every other day or so with explanations on exactly what he was doing and how he was doing it. I was constantly showing everyone around me Asta’s progress in the videos I was so proud. Thank you again Edward for helping our little man. I don’t know what we would have done without you.

Max was my dog trainer he was so much more than I could of expected..he did such an amazing job with my miniature dachshund..we r so thankful for all his help with Nala...we felt so comfortable talking to him ..besides my dog learning so much more than I could of done meeting Max was like having a new friend!

Our trainer Luis was amazing, from the day of pickup, giving updates everyday, responding to any question or concern that we had during the training. Prior to the training our dog was very aggressive on a leash towards people and some other dogs and animals. Was terrified of his crate and it was impossible to leave him home alone for more than two minutes. Now we feel way more comfortable and safe walking with him, and have no problem leaving the house. Definitely recommend it to any dog owner who dont have the time or knowledge to put into their dog training.

Elijah is amazing! He performed miracles with our Golden Doodle, Molly. I was very nervous to send her away to be trained, but it was the best decision I could have made. Molly was a Covid dog. She suffered from separation anxiety and didn’t associate with other dogs. Taking her to the Vet or groomers was a nightmare. Elijah sent daily videos and updates, he took the time to address every question or concern I had during her training. Molly came home after 4 weeks training knowing place command, least behavior, improved socialization skills and less reactive to triggers. Even in the earlier videos I could see how much Molly liked him. She wanted to please him. Truly, Elijah was amazing with her. He’s like a Dog Whisperer. I would highly recommend Elijah as a trainer!

Rene has greatly helped and continues to help our puppy become an obedient little girl that two old people can manage. We’re grateful for her help with Coco. Rene’s assisted in potty tracing and commands to help control behavior. She also designed a schedule that has greatly helped get Coco on track. Thank you, Rene

Dogwise Academy is a great place to find the perfect trainer for your pet. Our experience with Njoud as our English bulldog's trainer was absolutely wonderful! She is a very dedicated and a professional trainer. Chato(our dog) came home after a 5 week training session knowing commands, basic obedience and less reactive to triggers. We were very pleased with our trainer Njoud and recommend her highly.

We are so happy with our puppy’s training program Robert is an excellent and caring trainer. He kept us informed about our puppy’s daily routine. She came back very calm and well mannered. Robert took care and trained her as his own. Thank you for an excellent experience! I will recommend Dogwise Academy training and Robert to anyone who needs help with dog training.

My 8 month old Corgi, Frankie, spent 2 weeks with Luis working on potty training and loose leash training. So far, Frankie has had 0 accidents in our apartment and is a significantly better walker on the streets of NYC. Luis was always responsive and is clearly experienced in dog training. He also took plenty of time with us at drop off to go through training techniques and answer our questions. Would recommend Luis and DogWise!
- Jamal Ellis5
Luis was a godsend. I had nothing but a great time with Luis as he was able to turn my Pomsky from this maniac on a leash that would pull nonstop and have massive separation anxiety if I just stepped into another room to this what I would like to call now, a dog, my friend, and I have to say that if it wasn’t for Luis Coming in and such a short notice I don’t know what I would’ve done
- Janet HobbsElliott5
I had Kristopher as Elliott’s trainer. It was so hard for him to leave for a five week period. Voila new and improved Elliott. Kristopher communicated every day and answered my questions. Elliott is going to be psa dog and I needed more control. Thanks to Dogwise and Kristopher for a positive outcome.

Values
Care
Your dog’s comfort comes first. We treat your pup like family! From their favorite toys to cozy home environments, we ensure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while learning. Our trainers open their homes to your dog, blending training with love and familiarity.
Balance
Teamwork makes the dream work. Training is a partnership—between you, your dog, and us! We start with lessons at the trainer’s home but don’t stop there. You’ll get follow-up tips, virtual guides, and lifelong support to keep progress going strong.
Reliability
Trust is everything! We know handing over your pup is a big deal. That’s why we work daily to earn your trust through transparency, consistency, and a genuine commitment to your dog’s success. Your feedback? It’s how we grow!
Communication
We’re here every step of the way. From choosing a program to post-training questions, we’ve got you. Expect regular updates during training and a team that’s always ready to listen, explain, and cheer you on. (No question is too small!)
Individuality
No two dogs are alike—and we love that! Your dog isn’t a robot, and neither is our training. We design programs around their quirks, energy, and needs—because “one-size-fits-none” doesn’t work for families or pups!

Frenquently Asked Questions
Where will my dog be staying?
Dogs stay in our certified trainer's homes. Each dog will have access to ample exercise, treats, toys and tons of training and love.How much will training cost?
Prices vary depending on the duration, type of training, and needs of each dog. We'd be happy to talk you through our programs and identify the right option for you and your furry family member.Will my dog be training alone?
Most of our expert trainers typically have 2-3 additional dogs at one time. This offers an enriching experience for your dog as they are able to socialise and also learn from other dogs. All dogs are closely supervised and trainers have years of experience managing all types of dogs, ages, behavioral issues etc. They are always able to keep your dog safe and happy.How long are the programs?
Basic obedience programs are 2-4 weeks, with Anxiety and Aggression cases typically needing 4-6 weeks. There are, however, exceptions to every rule and we always want to evaluate each case individually. You can learn more about all programs we offer by contacting a pet consultant or viewing our full list of programs.Does my dog have to go away?
Board and train programs are what we specialize in. It offers a fully immersive experience for dogs in order to truly change behaviors. Although this is a great start, and particularly effective for busy pet parents, continuing education with your dog afterward will also be important. We make sure you have the knowledge to keep working from home.How fast can you schedule training?
As we only work with the very best trainers we sometimes do have a waiting list, but we do our best to get dogs into a program within 30 days of sign-up.Do you have payment plans?
