Training a Belgian Malinois takes a special trainer

Training a Belgian Malinois takes real skill, and Olivia absolutely delivered. Athena is incredibly intelligent and high-energy, and from day one, the training was structured, challenging, and perfectly matched to her drive and focus. Olivia understood the breed, set clear expectations, and gave me tools that actually worked in real-world situations. Athena’s obedience, impulse control, and confidence improved dramatically, and the progress was noticeable fast. The sessions were professional, positive, and built on trust—not shortcuts. If you have a working breed or high-drive dog and want results done right, I can’t recommend Olivia enough. Athena is a better dog because of them—and I’m a better handler too.

3 week puppy Maligator training

We did a 3-week puppy training program with Olivia for our Malinois, Brock, and the results were incredible. She built a strong foundation of obedience, structure, and engagement—exactly what a high-drive breed needs. Brock came back more confident, focused, and eager to work, and Olivia made sure we had clear guidance to continue his training at home. I highly recommend her to anyone starting a Malinois puppy the right way.

My 20 month old Corso

My 20 month old Corso was anxious and skidnish. His trainer Ryan is amazingly patient. I had the hardest time mentally with my baby being gone for 4 weeks. Ryan answered my questions eased my stress. My boy came home with more discipline and manners. My training has begun. His sit, place, heal, off, down are awesome. Thank you Dogwise especially Ryan. For caring for and training my boy so well. Now mommy's training begins

Dogwise had my review removed

Dogwise had my review removed. Don't trust them out dog came home skin and bones. They will probably flag this review too. My review is from facts and this is how they have all good reviews. They get the honest bad reviews removed.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Very attentive and communicative trainers. Would highly recommend!

Dog Wise Academy exceeded our expectations. Our trainer was fantastic, professional, patient, and clearly very experienced. Our dog is now very well trained and responsive. The owner was also extremely helpful during the entire process, answering questions, keeping us informed, and making us feel confident every step of the way. We’re very grateful and highly recommend!

Brilliant

My dog Bailey received brilliant training from the dogwise trainer! I was finding it particularly difficult with such an energetic breed, but the trainer put me at ease with her wealth on knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend dogwise to anyone looking for help with training.

Absolutely brilliant experience with dogwise! Clear instructions, kind approach, and real results fast. Our dog is calmer on walks, listens much better, and we finally feel confident handling distractions. Highly recommend to anyone who wants practical, positive training that actually works.

RINA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

RINA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My dog, Ruger, was showing signs of severe anxiety and towards other dogs and sometimes people after he’d had a bad encounter with a dog. For a while I tried to help him through it by myself but he started showing slight signs of aggression & I ultimately decided I wanted a professional to get involved so I can be sure I’m managing his needs properly. Dogwise’s Administration Team (specifically Olivia, Anita & Thomas) were very helpful throughout the process. I was originally recommended a different trainer due to them being closer to me but I specifically requested Rina and hoped she’d be willing after reading so many of her positive reviews - nothing wrong with the other trainer I just noticed an undeniable happy response to Rina’s training. She did not disappoint. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. I’d always been on the fence about a board & train because they don’t have always have a good reputation but Rina calmed my nerves with our first phone call. She recommended that I bring Ru to her so I can feel at ease seeing her setup, where the dogs stay, etc. I was blown away. Throughout the 5 weeks that my dog was with her — she sent in depth videos, very frequently, explaining the work she was putting in so it was easy for me to digest. You can trust her 1,000%. She loves these dogs. She has her own as well that interact with the trainees and Ru fell in love with one of her dogs. I hadn’t seen my dog play with another in so long & it was such an amazing thing to watch develop through Rina’s constant communication & photos/videos. I cannot thank her enough.

Dogwise Academy has been really professional, I highly recommend working with them

Dogwise Academy.

I’ve been using Dogwise Academy awhile now and they have been brilliant. I would find it very hard to trust anyone with my dog but they give me a piece of mind knowing he’s in great hands , the hardest part is getting him to come with me after he stays. Thanks as always. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly Recommend!

Great company and service. Highly recommend to all!

I paid for dog training services for…

I paid for dog training services for two dogs. While my first dog was in their care, a trainer was captured on my Ring camera striking her. When she was returned to me, her paw pads were raw and bloody, she had lost weight, her nipples were lacerated from urine exposure, and she was visibly yellow and distressed. My second dog was scheduled for training but never received any services due to this situation. My dog was also left in the trainer’s vehicle for approximately an hour and a half while the trainer was inside my home discussing personal matters unrelated to my dogs. I attempted to resolve this situation directly with the company CEO, providing a vet report, photos, and video evidence, but the situation was continually downplayed and minimized. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service.

The trainer was great calm gentle but very effective. My wiild pup came home calm and well trained. She had the same happy spirit but she listened to commands and ceased jumping on people. It was like magic !

From the very beginning

From the very beginning, Olivia was amazing at communicating—she always responded quickly and consistently sent us pictures and videos of Shiloh, which gave us so much peace of mind while he was with her. She gave honest, clear feedback and was very real with us about his progress, strengths, and what still needed work. When Shiloh came home, Olivia took the time to do a full session with us, showing us everything he learned and walking us through how to continue the training ourselves. She answered every question thoroughly and in a way that was easy to understand. Most importantly, she took incredible care of Shiloh—making sure he was comfortable, safe, and that his medication was given on time. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We’re extremely grateful for Olivia and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring trainer.

Cal was amazing

Cal was amazing. He did such a good job with our bernadoodle maple. Very knowledgable and willing to really walk us through every step of the process with her training and how to best have success maintaining her new skills and demeanor while at home.
