We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.

Puppy Obedience Program: Perfect for pups aged 16 weeks to 6 months. Does your puppy have more energy than you can handle? Our Puppy Kindergarten Program teaches the skills your furry tornado needs to become a happy, well-mannered family member—all while living with one of our trusted trainers in a real home environment. 

We focus on potty training to say goodbye to accidents, basic house manners to eliminate jumping, chewing, or counter-surfing, and socialization through safe playtime with other dogs (when possible) to build confidence. 

Essential commands include Sit & Down, Stay (even when you open the fridge!), Heel & Loose Leash Walking, and Name Recognition & Everyday Recall. 

The program works through live-in training where your pup stays with a trainer in a home setting to learn skills they’ll actually use with your family, daily updates with photos, videos, and progress reports so you never miss a milestone, two personalized handover sessions to teach you how to reinforce training at home, and lifelong support with access to digital guides and our team for questions—even after graduation! 

Busy families love this program for its stress-free approach where we handle the training so you can focus on life, real-life skills taught in a home (not a sterile facility), and a tailored plan that adapts to your dog’s quirks—no one-size-fits-all here!
