About Wise Paws Dog Training, llc

What they offer

Wise Paws Dog Training is an at-home, force-free dog trainer located in north Phoenix. It offers obedience training in your home, behavior modification for anxiety, aggression and other unwanted behaviors, and small group workshops on TTouch methods for organizations, shelters and training facilities. It also offers anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning.

Approach

The trainer uses the TTouch method, which the site says promotes relaxation and focus in stressful situations, and SATS, a system for helping animals communicate their needs. She teaches dogs concepts and words as well as commands, for example body parts and vet routines to ease fear at the clinic.

The trainer

The about page says Manuela Hejna holds certificates from Animal Behavior College, the TTeam Guild and SATS, has practiced behavior therapy and training since 1999 and moved to Phoenix in 2010.
