About Wild Dog Pet Services

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Wild Dog Pet Services offers private dog training sessions in Arroyo Grande, California, with lessons available either at the client's home or in public settings depending on what the dog needs to work on.

According to their website, the business uses positive reward methods as its foundation, though they note that tools like head halters, prong collars, or e-collars may be introduced based on a dog's specific needs or owner preferences. Their site states a belief that no dog is untrainable.

Training covers standard obedience skills, sit, down, stay, coming when called, walking on a loose leash, and can also address common puppy concerns like house training or jumping. For dogs with more challenging issues, they describe working on aggression, anxiety, high energy, and socialization difficulties. A trainer named Kaila appears in customer reviews on the site, though the business doesn't provide formal staff bios or credential information. Prospective clients should note that the website offers limited detail about the trainer's background or specific training experience.
