Denise Willis Dog Training

Denise is amazing! We did private lessons with her for our Bernese Mountain Dog. He had some basic obedience skills, but getting him to walk outside even without distractions was a challenge. He is a big dog, so if he wanted to stop and sniff the ground, we couldn't get his attention. He would also pull and choke himself on his collar if a distraction came by. Within a few sessions, Toby was doing loose leash walking with us and was much more engaged on the walk. By the end of our sessions, we were able to take him to the store and even to a dog dense park for a stroll and he was able to walk with us without getting crazy distracted. This is huge for me as I can finally walk my large dog with confidence! Denise is very knowledgeable, funny and a pleasure to work with. She is wonderful with our dog and he totally loves her! I have recommended her to a few fellow dog parents already and I highly recommend her to anyone reading this review!

Before enrolling my 7 month old Rottie/Bully mix Izzy into DWDT, she was like a little tank by how much she pulled on the leash, was over excited at everyone and everything, and wasn't responsive to any of my commands. Now, our walks are pleasant, she responds to my commands with military precision, and is eager to please me. I can't thank Denise Willis and her team for all the hard work they've done to turn my Izzy into the ideal dog. If 6 stars was an option, Denise Willis Dog Training would have gotten that. Thanks for everything!

Denise did an amazing job helping me with my lovable but scatterbrained 1 year old pup, Penny. She demonstrated valuable training knowledge and expertise and was able to communicate it in a clear, easy to understand way. Denise helped us address several different areas of concern, including safety issues, and was so easy and enjoyable to work with. Penny is still her silly, fun-loving self but is also a great leash walker now and has learned wonderful manners. Couldn’t be happier with our experience, it was worth the investment!
