I sent my one‑year‑old chihuahua, Toby, to Dogwise Academy’s three‑week “intensive” doggie bootcamp. It was a very expensive program, and at his age, he should have been a sponge for learning. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a huge disappointment.
When Toby came home, he hadn’t learned a single new command. The only thing he could do was sit—and I taught him that myself before he ever went away. He didn’t learn how to lay down, stay, come when called, heel, walk without pulling, or stop barking at other dogs and people. For a program that promises comprehensive training, there was absolutely no progress in any area.
This ended up being a complete waste of money. I truly regret not reading the one‑star reviews before choosing this company, because my experience matched them exactly.
If you’re considering Dogwise Academy, I strongly recommend doing thorough research and carefully reviewing the negative reviews. I wish I had.
