About Wendy’s Canine Training

Wendy's Canine Training runs dog and puppy classes in Knoxville and describes itself as "Knoxville's Longest Standing Dog Trainer".

What they publish

The program list is Puppy Training, Obedience Training, AKC Canine Good Citizen, a program called Tiny Terror Turn Around, Private Lessons, Service Dog Training and Class Prep, with a published class schedule and online registration. Group classes and private lessons at home are both offered.

Prices and structure

The puppy group class is published in full: a 6-week session, 45 minutes per week, $245, for puppies from about 10 weeks to 6 months. Obedience is a group class for dogs approximately 6 months and up, with the stated requirement that owners can control their dog on a leash during the class. Payment is by check, cash or Venmo, and they make a point of affordability – "our 6 week courses are some of the most affordable you will find here in Knoxville, TN".

How the training runs

The site states over 40 years of dog training experience across their trainers, covering obedience class instruction and one-to-one work. The published position on method is that "every dog is given personalized, holistic and kind training because every dog is different", with training catered to the individual dog.

What they take on

Their published list of behaviors is jumping up, house soiling, nipping, biting, destructiveness, dominance and aggression. Registrations run by term, with summer and fall intakes advertised, so timing matters – check the calendar rather than assuming a rolling start.
