    We were very impressed with the Wunderdog's Behavioral Modification Service. Our two Senior Border collies needed help with greeting behaviors. We enjoyed our session with Morgan, the trainer, and, moving forward, will always use the Wunderdog with our dogs. Another note - I am our pups' human mama, and I booked the session. My husband, their dad, did not think this session was necessary, and I was wrong to spend the time and money on this service, but he went along with it to please me. Surprise to him! He could not believe how helpful the session was. He was amazed at how much we and our dogs, learned. Afterward, I heard those three glorious words we crave from our spouse, "You were right."-Lorie Madsen

    Lynn worked miracles with our pup Daisy. We took Daisy in for behavioral training based on a recommendation from a neighbor. Our neighbor actually shared all of her notes from her sessions with Lynn so I can vouch that Lynn doesn't do a "one size fits all" model. Her recommendations for Daisy were completely different; it felt like she had known our dog a lot longer than two hours! Within a few weeks of implementing her ideas we were able to have friends over without feeling nervous that Daisy would act aggressive. I have told so many people about Wunderdog because the one time session really did help our dog finally feel safe in her home and allowed us to fully bond with our pup. Thank you Lynn!!

    I can’t say enough about Lynn Wunderli’s Wunderdog training. Lynn was essential in helping us train our socially awkward pup. Our goal is a healthy, happy life for our very sweet but anxious pup, and Lynn has helped immensely in that process. Thank you Lynn-Wunderdog!

    Mae completed the Wunderdog high school training class on Wednesday! We actually took the class twice because we loved it so much.

    Mae was an amazing dog from the first day I brought her home. We bonded immediately. That didn't mean there weren't things I wanted to work on with her, though! A lot of people believe training is mainly for puppies. That's not true! Training is a great way to help build and strengthen your relationship with your dog at any age. The more confident you feel, the more they trust you as their leader.

    Mae and I needed help with leash etiquette and how to be around other dogs. Mae may be small, but she's a strong tugger and can be excitable!

    We worked with the class' lead trainer, Morgan, one on one for a couple of months before taking the group class. She knows her stuff! I appreciated her approach of building confidence in both me AND Mae. Training was based on building our relationship. I truly cannot speak highly enough of the Wunderdog team!

    Walking Maeve is now a pleasant experience. Seeing her feel confident around other dogs is also huge! I know that she trusts me (and I have more confidence in myself) to help her handle whatever comes our way.

    If you're in the area and looking for help with your pooch, take a look at Wunderdog (They did not ask me to write this. I felt compelled to share our wonderful experience.

    Great experience! We have a 1 year old lab at home that is adjusting to a newborn at home in addition to his own development. With just the first personalized training session so far, we can tell the difference in his behavior. The Wunderdog team is very experienced and had a plan of action to realign both the dog and us (the owners) with how we interact with each other.

    I don’t think I have words to describe how grateful I am to Morgan. In two weeks, she showed Duncan the tools to manage his insecurity and anxiety. But more importantly in our follow up session with me, she taught me the meaning of being a leader. Seriously, in a very short period of time of us talking it clicked. The daily videos and Homework assignments for me to read through were so helpful as well. As I read through the daily questionnaires and PDFs, I started to realize that I am the Taylor Swift song lol. … “It’s me.. Hi. …I’m the problem. It’s me..” Seriously though, I’ve had this sneaking feeling deep down that I have been failing him, but I was so overwhelmed and helpless, not knowing what to do. I met with several trainers and everyone had a different philosophy and I thought I was just going to give up. I actually thought about finding a different home for him because I wasn’t the leader he needed to be to be. It’s only been a few days since we’ve been home. I have been practicing what Morgan said… Calm, clear, and consistent. My home has taken on a new energy. Before I felt like he was running my life. Now? Now there is a sense of peace. The guilt is no longer there of hurting his feelings, etc. She gave me the permission, for example, to let my little miniature poodle sleep on my bed at night, but not him. The old me would’ve thought “oh no his feelings are going to be so hurt”… But guess what? I told him to lay down on his bed last night on the floor and he slept! And so did I! He seems more content, happy,. He has the aggression with people coming into the home and 0MG someone came over today and I had him gated in the mudroom. He only got two barks in and with the training Morgan showed me he remained on his elevated bed which we call “place”the entire time my friend was here which was an hour and a half. As I write this, I could literally cry. He’s my little Pookie bear. I just love him so much and he’s been driving me crazy lol. Not anymore. Morgan was literally the angel we needed. Thank you!

    Morgan and the Wunderdog program have been just what we needed. I was a bit skeptical of whether having three personal lessons would be worth it. I can tell you after only two lessons we have already seen significant improvements in our dog's behavior and our ability to elicit good behavior. Morgan is amazing. Although I have accused her of being magical, her skill is obviously the result of her expertise, calm demeanor, and care for helping families have the best possible relationship with their dogs.
