Santiago, or Santi, came to us in May 2022. He is a sweet boy who just needed a little crate training and structure in his life in order to thrive. He loves playtime, and has a goofy side--but don't be fooled, he is a working dog breed whose training needs be reinforced after he gets into a home. Co...

This little girl was dropped at our door a few weeks ago by a man who saved her from a box on the side of the freeway. She has been in the experienced hands of our trainers and is getting lots of socialization and exposure. We have been calling her “Nasu Bean” 🫘

She is feisty, probably a chihuahua husky mix, and is very very sweet! We think she will make a great pet for anyone interested in a new puppy.

Please contact us if you are interested or share this post so we can help find this little bean a good home 🏠

Biggie came to us with some food aggression issues a few months back and now he is thriving with his owners, going on off leash adventures, and most importantly feeling safer around his food because of the boundaries his dedicated owners have committed to.

Feeling grateful to be able to make life easier for dogs and their owners through training and behavior mod 🐾

"Words can't explain how different my dog is since we sent him to Wilhelms board and train. My beagle is a very stubborn young boy with food aggression. They gave us all the tools and more to manage our dog in all situations. They really took the time to understand Biggie in order to train him based on who he is. They learned his strengths and weaknesses and did an amazing job figuring out the right training for him. Our lives have significantly gotten easier since he has been back from training. I can't thank them enough!!"

Head trainer Brad teaches the recall command to one of our , 11 week-old , Ella. ⭐️

This is possibly the most important thing you will teach your new .

Some tips to consider are:

⭐️ Practice inside in a distraction-free environment
⭐️ Bring plenty of that are high value(something they ONLY get during recall)
⭐️ Use the treat as a magnet to lure the puppy into a sit when she comes to you
⭐️ As soon as the dog takes a step toward you after you say, "Come", offer praise to the puppy so they know they are doing well.
⭐️ Only call your dog when you have something delicious for him or her

Practice everyday for 5 minutes and you will have a dog who always comes when called!

This video shows our Head Trainer, Lynn, working with Blue. She demonstrates several key ingredients to a balanced training approach. She uses a calm tone of voice in order to condition Blue to respond to voice commands at a normal tone. Raising your voice or barking orders at your dog is not necessary to elicit reliable response to commands. And only causes undue stress to the dog. She also uses repetition. Dogs learn just like humans, consistent repetitions are necessary to create strong habits. And finally a combination of leash pressure as correction and praise/ petting as a reward clearly mark undesired and desired response to commands. 👏🏽
