Trainer lauren 10 stars - Dogwise 1 star !! I feel Dogwise as a company let myself and dog down! They placed my dog with a man that mistreated my dog, that did no training, I believe did not feed and left in a crate constantly! Dogwise did not truly know the kind of man and trainer they hired which is disturbing to me on their hiring process and the care that any other dogs will get. A bad start the first week ended with Lauren going above and beyond to get my dog out of a terrible situation. She then had my dog for 4 weeks. OMG amazing!! At this point I felt so comfortable and so much more relaxed. I received up dates and videos daily with great detail not only how she was training my dog but myself also!!! Lauren is honest, straight forward and always there if you need her for questions or help! I asked the CEO for some compensation for the first week filled with stress, concern, and pure fear as a dog parent and was told in so many words it was not within there budget! That was crap!! This program was super expensive for me to begin with and when my dog was handed over to Lauren from this other trainer he was missing belongings I sent him with, leash, toys, bed etc.. which will be an added expense for me to replace now! I would trust Lauren 100% but please tread lightly with the company itself. I talked with the CEO 2 times and als I heard was I understand, and no care in his voice. But he did offer to buy my dog a toy! lol how generous!! Thank you Lauren for everything you truly are amazing!!

My Puppy Was Failed I have gone back and forth about leaving this review but after seeing the other recent similar reviews I feel it is my responsibility to say something so other's can have all the information before agreeing to training with this company. I want to firstly discuss the unreliability of the trainer. I understand emergencies/weather/etc. happen however our pick up, drop off, and after training session were rescheduled all together over 7 times. My dog was dropped back off to us after 9PM at night so the after training handover session could not occur as it was dark and I have a small child. The trainer told me for the next FIVE days he was "on his way" to our location and yet hours later would text stating he was still hours away and would reschedule last minute. I had to change my job hours around and pay for daycare for the five days the trainer was supposed to come back to show us what my dog learned for him to just not show up. Clearly he had better plans to attend then our handover session. I would also like to say that we did not receive daily updates and when he did receive updates, it was the same material in the video; our dog on a leash walking. I think all together we received 3-4 videos in a three week span. When the trainer finally did show back up for our handover session(hours late), he stayed in my driveway for less than 15 minutes, told me to get my puppy a shock collar, and left. I cannot tell you ONE thing my dog learned while he was in his training seminar. I was told NOTHING about his training and how to continue it. I made sure before I scheduled and paid for the training that they would be able to deal with my dog's specific issues, which was being too rough with my cats/chickens and I was ASSURED this would be addressed. I never received proof this was addressed during the 3 weeks. I never received after training instructions to address this issue. Within one day of being home, my puppy injured my cat. This program failed my dog/my family and now we are reaping the consequences as I cannot allow this behavior to continue for the safety of all people/animals in my house. My 9 month old puppy was a gentle giant. He would never go after any of my other dogs or INTENTIONALLY hurt any animals in my home but within a week of him being home he initiated a fight with my other dogs and did some damage. He was the most submissive dog and would fall to the floor if they even so much as growled at him. Now he is picking fights and he is a Great Dane so its not easy to break these issues up. The trainer himself told me the dogs he owns are aggressive and ironically enough now my 9 month old puppy is picking fights. He also NEVER barked. Someone could knock on my door and he wouldn't even make a peep. Now ALL he does is bark ALL DAY and as someone who works from home, this is not ideal. Another issue Dogwise didn't seem to care about is my dog came home with EIGHT wounds. He was seen by a vet who stated these look like wounds from long periods of time in a crate rubbing his limbs/scratching that were licked constantly to create hotspots. My vet has informed me due to the level of damage that these wounds will scar permanently. Dogwise sent me an aftercare package to give insight on continuing training in my home and I am almost positive it is the SAME information they send to all dogs. There was no personal information on my dogs case, his trainer, the best way to handle him, etc. They gave me a copy and paste template that I could have found on the internet. After reaching out, all they did was offer me three free training sessions with the same trainer. As I explained to them I am HIGHLY uncomfortable continuing with this trainer, they offered nothing else. I assume they will copy and paste the exact same reply they sent the other bad reviews and that just proves to me more that they show no personalization/care for each individual case as being its own dog. I did not leave this review to gain a reply from this company, I did not leave it to gain anything. I left it for others and their dogs.

Our dog has aggressive behavior… Our dog has aggressive behavior problems that is the one reason he was sent to dogwise. The day he came home he showed worse behavior than before he left. I will say he walke better on the leash as long he doesn’t engage people or dogs. And he’s stay (place command) is great in the house.
