    She was amazing with our dog and new puppy. We were worried that our older dog was going to be aggressive with our new puppy. She was able to show us how to be able to introduce the two of them. And after just a few days of continuing with the training she showed us. both of our dogs are now getting along. Which is something we honestly did not think would happen let alone as quickly at it has.I will continue to use her to show us how to continue with the training.

    I absolutely loved working with Wilma! She was so patient with Stitch, my high strung puppy! Wilma not only taught us every command several times, she also gave us a print out of what we learned so we could continue the training at home with Stitch. Wilma is very kind, sweet and very knowledgeable!! She also has a great sense of humor and trust me, you need one with Stitch! She helped give me the confidence I needed to show this little guy who the boss is (he still thinks he is at times). I highly recommend Wilma for training all of your pets! 💯👍🏻

    Wilma responded in a timely fashion. She was gracious with time over the phone prior to our appointment. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us some pointers to work on with our dog. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to ask the clients to write down from most important to least what they would like to accomplish.  Discuss the goals and start a plan to make it happen.

    I attended Animal Behavor College and am certified for dogs and cats.  I am also trained to work with animals that are shy, aggressive, have chewing issues toy or food possession issues, etc.  I'm also qualified to do scent training classes and have learned from my previous mentors to teach various tricks.

    I charge a standard fee of $100.00 unless I have to.travel a great distance or there are more than one dog.

    I started volunteering in shelters and God gave me an even deeper love for animals.

    I have worked with all ages of dogs and cats started from 4 weeks up to 16 years old. I have worked to help clients teach basics such as sit down, come, wait etc. as well as dogs with separation anxiety, aggressiveness etc. I work with disabled animals such as deafness, limbs missing. I work with clients to have a good relationship with their new or old family members.

    Working with Jackson Galaxy to enrich shelter animals who are depressed.

    I would make sure they are truly certified trainers and have insurance.

    What do you love about your dog? And what do you want your dog to improve on?
