The Life of Riley Dog Training & Pet Care

"A shout-out to Wendy and her canine expertise! Our puppy, Tatonka, (and his owners) were skillfully guided through several training techniques using exclusively positive reinforcement to elicit the appropriate responses to ensure a happy and successful outcome. Wendy's comprehensive knowledge and her patience helped to address all the unique behavior contingencies specific to Tatonka and his needs; and, her follow-up reports via email helped us to gel all that was taught in the session so we could maintain consistency. We feel very fortunate to have Wendy's caring, accommodating, and personal touch to facilitate the training process."

"Wendy Taylor is the best! She works with you instead of one on one with your dog. She customizes your training to fit your lifestyle and capabilities. She is someone who genuinely cares about her work and it shows. I can attest to the dog training sessions and the puppy socialization class. She is professional, personable and makes things fun. She leaves you feelings confident with the amount of knowledge and experience she has. She came as a recommendation and now I know why!"

"Wonderful experience with Wendy! She has a ton of information & techniques for you puppy that WORK! She works with you & your puppy in your home or in her studio. Her studio is perfect for all types of training. Plus she focuses on socialization at critical puppy stages which is so important. She can help you navigate problem areas with your dog. My pup & I enjoyed working with her!"

"We adopted 2 collie puppies Shadow & Bailey from Adopt Me Bluegrass. We have never had training for our previous dogs but wanted to give our puppies the best start. Dogwood recommended Wendy which was the best decision we could have made. Her patience, knowledge, and love for what she does is exceptional. From coming to our home, working in her fabulous studio, a social play date with other dogs and ending with a session at Cabela’s were all excellent in helping to train our dogs in multiple situations. We always saw an instantaneous response from our puppies on what she was teaching and their eagerness to learn with her. We appreciate all her tips and will continue to enhance on everything we have learned from her. We highly recommend Wendy and The Life of Riley!"

"Wendy is amazing!! It was almost by accident that we found her and so happy we did! She came to our house, scheduled at our convenience, has a ton of knowledge and not only taught my dog, Harley, so much but also my husband and I learned a lot as well. She always follows up with written instruction that includes links, recommendations and all kinds of helpful resources. I would definitely recommend her and her services a million times over. Harley loved working with Wendy and so did we!!"
