The 2 Golden doodles were well taken care of under Wayne's excellent supervision. I strongly endorse his expertise in dog training. His compassionate treatment of the dogs, as though they were his personal pets, demonstrates genuine affection for them even though they are away from their home.

Our 6 1/2 year old sheepadoodle received great training from Wayne resulting in new skills and behaviors. Despite being home for only a few days, we have already noticed significant improvements as our pet is now calmer, listens better and barks less frequently. Wayne was attentive to our pet's needs, ensuring she received medical attention when she incurred a sore paw from fox tails and even cleaned her up after her training in Utah's mountains. We highly recommend Wayne with Big Dogs to anyone seeking pet training services.

I have had the privilege of working with Wayne, who is the best dog trainer I have ever met! His love for animals is evident as soon as you meet him. We have a very energetic Weimaraner, Duke, who needed training but we couldn't afford many other animal trainers. Wayne not only made the training affordable but also gained our trust with his honesty, passion, and commitment to animals. Duke was only 10 months old when he first went to Wayne and stayed with him for 3 weeks. Wayne provided daily/every other day updates, pictures, and videos of Duke's progress. He even picked up and brought Duke back to us making things more convenient. Wayne was completely transparent about his background and training. He answered all our questions without any hesitation and informed us about Duke's minor injury. Duke came back from Wayne's training as a completely different dog, in terms of his manners and behavior. He follows every command that Wayne taught him and is way less hyper. Wayne trained Duke with just praise and no treats, which I found amazing and made Duke even more responsive. Duke had a second training session with Wayne as well, this time for Shed training. Duke was ecstatic to see Wayne again, and Wayne did a refresher course with him. Duke spent a month with Wayne, and we missed him terribly. However, we knew he was in good hands with the best trainer in town. Wayne has gained our love, trust, and respect as he truly cares for animals. I consider Wayne a friend for life, and he is the only person I trust to care for Duke for extended periods. He is also flexible and understanding, always willing to take Duke even on short notice. Thanks, Wayne, for everything you have done for us and especially for Duke! He misses you and all his friends!

After sending my two dogs to the Big Dog Academy, their behavior has positively transformed. They are now impeccably behaved and obedient, displaying an impressive level of attentiveness and compliance to commands. The experience has also taught me valuable skills on how to maintain their newfound good behavior at home. My heartfelt gratitude to the Big Dog Academy for this wonderful outcome!

According to my perspective, Wayne is an exceptional instructor. I deem him as the finest I have ever come across due to his immense love for both canines and humans. Additionally, he is impartial and possesses admirable integrity.
