REAL FAMILIES. REAL RESULTS.
THE HALL FAMILY
Podo
"We loved having Podo in our family before. Now we love him even more because he fits into our family the way we hoped he would."
DEREK HALL
Cordova, TN
When the Hall family brought home Podo, they hoped he'd become a great companion for their children...including their youngest son with special needs. While they loved him from day one, typical puppy behaviors were creating daily frustrations. Wonder Dog Training helped transform Podo from a chaotic puppy into a well-mannered family dog that everyone can enjoy.
Challenges They Were Facing
- Poor recall—wouldn't come when called in the backyard
- Getting into the trash and making messes
- Counter surfing and stealing food
- Pulling food off counters (including an entire loaf of bread dough!)
- Difficulty listening and following commands consistently
- Harder for their children, especially their son with special needs, to interact with him confidently
Results After Training
- Immediate improvement after the very first training session
- Reliable recall and responsiveness when called
- Better leash manners and walking calmly beside the family
- More self-control and less impulsive behavior around the house
- Listens to all family members, not just the adults
- Easier for their son with special needs to walk and interact with him
- Became a more enjoyable, well-integrated member of the family
What Stood Out Most
The Hall family was impressed by how quickly they saw results and appreciated that Wonder Dog didn't just train Podo...they taught the family how to reinforce those behaviors at home. The trainers stayed engaged throughout the process, providing guidance, support, and coaching every step of the way.
THE UPTON FAMILY
Seamus
“Maybe we could have gotten him there [training Seamus] ourselves, but it would have taken years over what Wonder Dog could do in one day of solid focus each week and some homework at home.”
JEREMY UPTON
Bartlett, TN
Meet Seamus: The Gentle Giant Who Needed Reliable Obedience
When the Upton family brought home Seamus, their Irish Wolfhound, they knew one thing for sure:
A dog that size couldn’t afford to have “good enough” obedience.
At just eight months old, Seamus was already a lovable giant with a gentle personality. But with open property, wooded trails, wildlife encounters, and frequent interactions with children, his owners needed confidence that he would listen no matter the situation.
Challenges They Wanted to Solve
- Reliable off-leash recall
- Solid stay and place commands
- Safe behavior despite his massive size
- Dependable obedience in distracting outdoor environments
- A dog that could be trusted around children and visitors
Why They Chose Wonder Dog Training
After speaking with several trainers, the Uptons felt most confident in Wonder Dog Training’s Day Train approach.
Each week, Seamus spent a full day training with our team. When pickup time came, we spent 30–45 minutes teaching the family exactly what he had learned so they could reinforce those behaviors at home.
Results They Saw Almost Immediately
The changes weren’t subtle.
From the very first sessions, Seamus demonstrated dependable obedience in real-world situations. One day while walking off-leash in the woods, a stranger unexpectedly appeared on the trail. His owner immediately gave a “place” command.
Seamus sat down and didn’t move. Even as the stranger walked by. For a giant breed capable of accidentally knocking someone over, that level of control brought tremendous peace of mind.
Real-Life Confidence in Any Environment
Today, Seamus confidently handles situations that would have been stressful before training:
- Holding commands while strangers pass nearby
- Remaining calm around young children
- Ignoring distractions in the woods
- Staying put around wildlife, livestock, and other animals
- Returning reliably, even when out of sight chasing deer through the woods
Faster Results Than Doing It Alone
Like many dog owners, Seamus’ owner had trained dogs before and considered handling it himself.
What convinced him otherwise was how quickly Wonder Dog accelerated the process.
More Than Dog Training
The Uptons didn’t just get a better-trained dog. They gained the confidence to enjoy life with him.
Whether exploring wooded trails, spending time with family, or meeting new people, Seamus has become exactly what they hoped for...a gentle giant who listens when it matters most.
FAQs
The investment for training depends on what is going on with your pup. It also depends on the level of training you want by the time your dog is a Wonder Dog and the location of the training (In-Home or Day Train). The best way to find the best program for you and your budget is to do a Free Transformation Session.
