About Wonder Dogs

Modern positive training in Corvallis

Wonder Dogs is a dog training business in Corvallis that trains in-home, on location and at its 12,000-sq-ft dedicated facility, which it calls the biggest in the Willamette Valley. It bases its techniques on current research in canine development and behavior modification.

Method

Training uses positive reinforcement with food, play, clickers and life rewards so dogs want to listen. Wonder Dogs stresses that positive training still sets boundaries, and it shows owners how to set them while avoiding punishment methods. Its focal points are wellness and enrichment, clear communication, emotional regulation and proactive prevention.

Programs

Small group classes cover puppies, teenagers and adults, plus single-topic electives, field trips, sports and socialization. Private training offers one-on-one coaching, and month-long tutoring programs let staff train the dog on location or as a drop-off service at the facility. The behavior modification program addresses fear, anxiety, over-excitement, reactivity and aggression, starting with a behavior consultation and continuing in the S.T.A.R. class. Virtual learning is also offered.
