Dog Training Testimonials
***************************************************************************************************************************
Again, THANK YOU for everything! It is amazing to see such a huge transformation in Lucy in just 5 weeks! I never thought a pug would take treats only by command... I am now able to place the treats directly in front of her on the ground and by saying "leave it" she will wait calmly in the lay down position until I give her the command to "take it" - very impressive! This is only one example of the many obedience lessons that she has picked up on since your class and it has been so exciting to watch her grow and learn!
In addition to that, the private lesson was extremely helpful! She has calmed down immensely is chewing on thing far less. Most importantly, she is doing MUCH better with the potty training, and the carpet cleaning method you suggested was the ONLY thing that completely worked!!

My dog Kikyo is a loving companion, and playmate to her sister dog Sunny. But she has been a handful, particularly using her body like a battering ram and knocking me down several times, the last really hurting my knees. Although Kikyo had participated in dog training about a year ago, I didn't feel that her alpha dog personality was being
addressed.
I learned one very important thing during Kikyo's training with Caryl -- I was the one whose perceptions would change. The way I approached the dogs - voice, body language, commands - would impact their behavior.
Kikyo's strong will started changing after our first lesson with Caryl. Now Kikyo doesn't jump on me, run into me, or pull when we're on a walk. She is still a fun dog with lots of personality. She just respects my space and understands that I am the alpha dog in this pack.
Thank you Caryl!

Dear Caryl,
I would like to thank you for your friendliness and professionalism and, most important, for taking the time to answer every question I had.
Please accept my sincere appreciation for the incredible positive method of teaching. You taught me that positive reinforcement was very essential in the process of training. I just didn't believe that you could change her bad habits in such a short time.
We both can share Monkey's success (10-month-old Golden Retriever). We have been practicing, and she is doing awesome. I can't believe how much she has learned in the past few weeks. She continues to improve every day. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.
Many thanks again, Caryl, for sharing your knowledge with us. Your devotion is outstanding.
Sincerely,
E. Zuniga

Hi, Caryl
We were quite impressed by the helpful tips you gave us. I’m also really glad you reminded me that continual positive reinforcement is a very important part of training and obedience. I was tending to focus more on reprimands but praise seems to be the best way to stop problems before they begin. I am seeing a marked improvement after only one day and in all areas. Dex & I are really looking forward to puppy kindergarten and the obedience classes to follow.

Caryl,
I wanted to thank you for helping me make so much progress in such a short time with Maxwell. Maxwell is a high energy rescue dog, a Pomeranian. He went from being extremely scared of everything, so scared that he’d jump into my arms when walking by other dogs. Then he became “protective”, he’d bark at everything…almost charging at whomever or whatever we walked by trying to indicate that no one or nothing should get near me. He also had a severe case of separation anxiety. Needless to say I needed some help with Maxwell.
I found Doggie Manners on the Internet, and Caryl made headway with Maxwell on the first visit (at which he was constantly barking). Maxwell stills gets excited when I have guests over, but now he settles down within the first few minutes and he’ll go to his “place” and play with a toy. And when we go for walks, everyone says how well behaved he’s become. I even let him run and play at the beach with other dogs, and he comes to me when called. He’ll lie down with the flick of the wrist, sit with either a visual or audio command, and we’re working on stay at the curb. He’s also so much better when we go on errands or car trips. He used to be almost frantic in the car, now he sits in his safety car seat and watches the world go by or just sleeps.
Thank you, Caryl, for not only helping me train Maxwell, but for also training me. I think the most difficult part for me was not treating him like a baby. I now feel more educated on canine behavior…sometimes I feel like the Dog Whisperer because packs of dogs will come up to me at the beach…waiting for direction (and probably a treat). : )
Christina & Maxwell (my precious pup)

Dear Caryl,
Just a quick note to thank you for your great work with my baby boxer Billie Holiday. I realize we've only had two lessons, but I just can't wait to finish puppy training and move on to the next course! We've both become devotees.
Not knowing anything about raising a puppy it was difficult to make the choice about where to start, but now I know we've made the right one! It's incredible. She's just a baby (12 weeks tomorrow!) and already she's impressed ALL our neighbors and friends. No one can believe what an impact you've made on both her and me!
She hasn't had one 'accident' since our private lesson (and neither have I); we even got the carpets cleaned two weeks earlier than planned!!! Sit is her new favorite word and she can't wait to learn her next command. The few minutes of behavior modification you taught us have made a world of difference.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Best,
Liz Harper

Hi Caryl -
Just wanted to write a note telling you about our labradoodle, Sadie Hawkins, that you helped me learn how to train.
First, I need to explain that I had never considered hiring a private trainer for a dog - but we were facing a problem that needed solving - and had an unusual lifestyle between our farm and LA. We simply were not in one place long enough to enroll in dog training classes - which would, from a financial viewpoint, been my first choice.
But I did know that something had to be done - we had a dog, growing rapidly, that was out of control - jumping on everybody. And also a dog that would get excited and wet whenever anybody came in the door. We needed help.
From the first week you made incredible progress. Not only did we see it, but visitors and workers also saw it. One roofer, who was fixing leaks (again!) said "That's a totally different dog than she was a few weeks ago" - (a few weeks ago she had nearly leveled him with a well-placed jump). This time there was no physical contact.
Today, Sadie is a happy dog. And a much easier and enjoyable pet than she was before training. I'd like to thank you so much for all that you did, and for your continued support when an unexpected problem arises. I'm convinced that, for us, going the private trainer route was by far our best option. Please feel free to give my name as a reference, and I will be happy to answer any questions.
Thanks again,
Anne Lohmann and Sadie Hawkins

Dear Caryl,
Just wanted to thank you again for your great help in giving us the right direction in helping our dog, Sandy, recover from her recent malaise. As you correctly suggested, it did turn out to be a thyroid problem; and as you correctly predicted, after treatment, she became a completely different dog, behaving like an energetic, healthy puppy like she used to be. It is not an exaggeration to say she has been given back her life.
You may not be the vet you say you're not, but your extensive knowledge of dogs, as well as other animals, has certainly helped us now, as well as many times in the past.
Many thanks to Caryl for sharing what you know, and caring about our special friends - the pets of our community.
Best wishes always,
Bob Weiss & Sandy Dog

Caryl is patient and is prepared during her classes. Her classes are very well structured, with a variety of activities that keep everybody, both dog and human, on their toes. She's a great trainer!
I had been enrolled in another class when I decided to switch to Caryl's group obedience training. Her class was a far more positive experience for us than the other class. Caryl gives time to each person, is thorough, and explains and demonstrates the techniques. She is accessible and available to talk about a problem individually if necessary, and she provides quite a bit of backup material for continuing working with your dog at home. I will continue to be in touch with her and thank her for all her good guidance.
Best regards,

I recommend Caryl Wolff so highly. Her dog training is so insightful, delightful and so revealing of true understanding from the dog's point of view. I have trained several dogs the old rough-handling way and I now know that it is much more fun to shape behavior WITH the animal. You get to be the calm leader instead of the tyrant, and your buddy respects you instead of fearing you.

Heather
***************************************************************************************************************************
When we met Caryl Wolff, we were the proud owners of an enthusiastic and willful Great Dane puppy by the name of Charlee. Our most pressing concern with Charlee was her endless pulling/dragging during walks. As the pup wasn't getting any smaller, time was of the essence.
With Caryl's guidance, we have learned how to communicate effectively in 'dog-speak' to our favorite pet. The day Caryl taught us to successfully walk our dog -- arm sockets intact -- the angels began to sing. Walks with our very strong, very large dog have become more pleasant than we could have imagined prior to Doggie Manners.
Caryl had an instant bond with Charlee, and the friendship has developed with every visit. She did Charlie a favor -- by training us to think in canine common sense -- and the changes have made Charlee a more confident and enjoyable family member. We are grateful for the lessons Caryl has given us, and Charlee is happy to know what is expected of her.
We highly recommend Caryl Wolff. She has shown the utmost wisdom about how to enhance a relationship with your best friend!
Sincerely,
Stephanie and Lee Caldwell

Dear Caryl,
We just wanted to tell you how grateful we are for you and your class. We had read the basics of dog training and thought that would be enough. Unfortunately, our charming little pug (who thought he was king of the world) disagreed and proceeded to do whatever he wanted. This destructiveness led to us having to confine him to a small area whenever we were gone. Needless to say, that didn’t make for a very happy dog while we were gone.
After going through your class, we can now leave him loose in our home and not have to worry about coming home to chewed up books or furniture. We are all a much happier family now.
The class was very educational and the additional website material is invaluable. We have printed everything out and made our own folder, so we can continue to train our dog the rest of his life. The class showed us not only what we should do, but also taught us why our initial techniques never worked.
We drove from Thousand Oaks every week to participate in the class and it was well worth it. Not just to see how things should be done, but the interaction you provide all of your students cannot be underestimated. When the slightest hand gesture or body movement can make all the difference, it is extremely important to know that you are doing the training the right way. Your guidance ensured that.
Besides the class itself and the training materials from your website, we want to thank you for just always being available. It’s a great comfort knowing there is expert advice available to us.
Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,
Bill, Bernadette, and Sir Puggleston March 2005

Dear Caryl,
Eve and I would like to thank you for the behavioral progress our dog, Paisano, has made since we began taking him to your classes in July. Prior to your course, Paisano had developed some very serious behavioral problems which included not only “uncontrollable” barking, but also aggression. He bit my wife several times daily when she would try to remove him from our bed, and he bit me many times as well when I would intercede to try and mitigate his violent tendencies.
Our incessant yelling at him over the years amounted to nothing more than frustration, wasted energy, and added chaos. Eventually, this behavioral interaction dynamic between us and the dog could no longer be ignored. When we received and read your training literature, we began to recognize the ineffectiveness of our methods to “control” Paisano.
After only one class, we were stunned and amazed at the shift in Paisano’s behavior! We were on our way to having the kind of relationship we wanted to have with our dog. It was as if Paisano had sensed that something had changed, and began to respond immediately. We had stopped trying to communicate with him in a “human” way and began communicating with him in a way that he could understand. Progress was made. We put the training concepts we’ve learned from your program into practice everyday.
Our home is peaceful and sane once again. We don’t have to raise our voices. Your discipline process is a positive one and requires relatively minimal effort (much less than we expended on screaming our reprimands at him!) Moreover, your kind, friendly, structured and organized approach has made working with you a pleasure. Once again, many thanks to you for helping us to restore our relationship Paisano. It is happy, affectionate and enjoyable again.
Kindest regards and lots of Doggie Licks,
Ken, Eve, and Paisano Ross

As manager of the spcaLA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) PetAdoption Center in Studio City, I see a great deal of animals and understand the importance of a well-trained dog of any age. A dog with even the very basics of good manners is more likely to stay in the home permanently and be an appreciated member of the family.
So when it came time for me to pick a trainer for my own rescue dogs, I understood the importance but was extremely cautious on whom I chose. After all, a good dog trainer should be firm but never harmful. I wanted a trainer that could get me on the right path to taking charge but also one who promoted gentle yet effective training. Caryl Wolff was that person.
Throughout the course, Caryl didn’t train my dogs. She trained me to train my dogs. This was the most valuable thing because after all, she isn’t going to be with them 24 hours a day when I need them to listen - I am. To help reinforce every lesson, she even writes up mini lessons and provides you with the entire package on the first day of class. Therefore, we worked at our own pace.
Furthermore, Caryl understands that every dog works at different levels and even requires different training methods. I have two sibling puppies, and she quickly caught on that they would need different modes of training tailored to their needs. Without her insight and intuition with them, I would have never been as successful of a “parent.”
Caryl always looked at the entire situation when training in order to get the most out of every session - she incorporates the dog’s mood, the owner’s mood, the environment, etc. but what I was most impressed with was how she taught me to take charge of our life. I always knew that having dogs was a huge commitment, but I had a real tendency to baby them and give in all of the time. Caryl made me realize the importance of being a leader. Because if I wasn’t, the dogs would be in charge - and that’s dangerous for the dog’s own safety.
It’s a delicate and difficult balance to be a take-charge trainer and never use unnecessary force. Caryl blends these two principles together beautifully. I took the time to write this letter to present to the public because I can’t express the importance of a good trainer enough – I want everyone to choose wisely and to be happy like I was with Caryl.

Dear Caryl,
I wanted to write you and thank you for your help with Brianna, our Shar Pei and Great Dane mix. We were at our wit's end and did not know what we were going to do with our 75 lbs of destruction and drool.
We adopted Brianna at 8 months from the local pound. We have adopted other dogs and been quite successful at integrating them into our household, but with Brianna we were helpless. Her destructive behavior began with eating the new sofa in the patio followed by uprooting most of the plants, the sprinkler system, and the Malibu lights in the back yard. No one could get in the door without being knocked over and covered with drool.
We took Brianna to puppy obedience class given by another trainer, but she only obeyed when she wanted to, and the wild behavior continued. We hoped she would grow out of it, but instead she just grew bigger and the problems increased with her size. It took us a year of trying on our own, unsuccessfully, before we looked for professional help. We did not even know if it would help, but we were desperate. My husband was skeptical, but we agreed to give it a try.
Wow, what a difference! After the first lesson, Brianna was a different dog. We were amazed, especially since in the first lesson you spent only 20 minutes with her. We quickly learned that it was the 90 minutes you spent with US that made all the difference. The signals we were giving Brianna just reinforced her behavior.
We followed your advice, did the homework, and watched Brianna grow happier and calmer -- the result we wanted. People are no longer hesitant to come over to our house, we are not covered in drool or dragged down the street on walks, and we don't have to worry what she'll destroy next. Our three cats and 9-year-old SharPei are also much happier. Everyone immediately notices the difference. Thanks for showing us how to change our lives with Brianna from stressful and aggravating to pleasant and happy.
Thanks again, Tiffany, Pekka, and Brianna

I recently adopted a Great Dane from a rescue and from the moment I got her home knew I was in trouble. Chloe was suffering from massive separation anxiety that led to excessive barking when I left the house. I got several complaints from a neighbor that if the barking didn’t stop, animal control would get involved.
I called Caryl Wolff and got Chloe enrolled in training classes. Chloe did great in training. I was surprised by how quickly she took to the exercises. I’m constantly complimented on how well she behaves in public and always have people asking how I trained her. I simply tell them it was Caryl Wolff and give them your number and say, “Call her. It’s the best call you’ll ever make.”
After a few classes and the practice we did at home and great advice from Caryl, the barking declined to just the normal bark when people were going in or around our house. That wasn’t enough for the neighbor. She didn’t want to hear her bark at all. She called animal control. I was issued citations and then a supena to appear. I immediately called Caryl. She knew exactly what to do. She dug up names of attorneys, articles, and just had amazing amounts of information and was overwilling to help with the situation. I guess all this has paid off because she canceled the animal control hearing, and they haven’t heard from her since. All I have to say is thank God for Caryl Wolff.
Thanks again,

Dear Caryl:
Thank you so much for your help with Lulu. Your system is the only one I've encountered that allows dogs and their owners to communicate. It's not that we never run into trouble, but now we feel we have tools for dealing with most situations that arise. Instead of simply suppressing Lulu's instincts, we feel as though she's learning in her own language. Again, thank you and good luck in the future.
All dogs and their families should have the opportunity to use your program.

I am really grateful that I was able to meet Caryl through a vet I just had jumped in. I think I was longing to meet someone like Caryl for such a long time. She has made my life much easier and I believe my dog’s life, too.
We moved to Los Angeles from Tokyo with our dog for my husband to attend business school. He getting accepted to school and we moving to the States were very exciting news, but at the same time my dog had become the biggest problem of my life.
My dog, 7 years old and a male Maltese, has had many behavior problems. I had brought him up like a spoiled child. I believed that if you gave as much love as you can, he would just turn out to be perfect, in another words a well behaved dog. But he proved me wrong and his dominant behavior escalated as the years went by. He growled or barked at us whenever he didn’t get his way, and he would not do anything I wanted him to do.
But my biggest concern was that he had the worst separation anxiety and I wasn’t able to leave the house. It seemed like my dog was running my life and I was tolerating it. I had knocked the doors on every dog training schools, but all gave me the same answer saying that it was impossible to retrain him at his age. I was hopeless and clueless.
Then I was introduced to Caryl and I was thankful just after our first session because he was obeying my command for the first time. The first session, he kept on barking to get his way with Caryl and it was very embarrassing for me and at the same time I felt very sorry for my dog. I had brought him up wrong and I was all to blame for, and the dog didn’t know what was happening. But with Caryl’s patience and her experience, she and my dog were able to get to a point where she was able to communicate with my dog. I guess that my dog probably feels very secure with Caryl and trusts her, so he does what he is expected.
One thing we tried to do so hard when knowing we had to put my dog on the plane was to get him inside a crate. We tried everything, but he seemed to be so scared in the situation of confinement and darkness. The most he would do was to put his two forehands in and reach very hard to get the treats in the back corner. Till the last day of our flight we were not successful in getting him in the crate. So we were left with the only option of giving him tranquilizers and shoving him in. The medicine did not work at all and he was whining all through his flight. But Caryl gave him a treat and said “IN” and the next moment he was in the crate and through our session he stayed in there. Now he takes his naps inside the crate. What did Caryl do that was so different from my training? I haven’t figured it out, but that’s how good she is with dogs.
Another great thing about Caryl is that she counsels you. She is ready to hear your problems out and she has so many advice. I think this is very important because training your dog can be a lot easier when you understand your dog’s point of view.
It is so hard to put into words, but she does miracles with my dog. Usually when you try to force a dog to do something or raise your voice, a dog can get scared and avoid you the next time. But Caryl just has this warmth and tenderness that dogs relate to. By following her basic command training daily, my dog’s separation anxiety is starting to fade away. I regret myself in being too ignorant towards my dog, and I just wish I had met someone like Caryl a lot earlier. She is not only an animal behaviorist, but also a great dog owner counselor. Thanks to Caryl, I am able to enjoy my stay in the States without feeling guilty in leaving my dog home alone.

Dear Caryl,
I wanted to take a minute to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible transformation I have seen in Yuki’s behavior. Just after attending your first lesson, the biting, nipping, and jumping on me that was so commonplace with my young 6-month old male Samoyed ceased. Before attending your first lesson, I felt like I had a wild canine from the back country on the end of my leash. Seriously, I was ready to give the little beast back to the breeder.
By the 4th lesson and following the home training steps you recommended between lessons, the new relationship that I had with Yuki became so noticeable that I was getting compliments from strangers as to how well Yuki was behaved…. Friends and relatives could not believe the change in Yuki, and some even thought I had purchased a new dog.
Currently, Yuki has stopped the uncontrolled jumping, nipping ,and barking. In addition, Yuki heels, sits, lays down on command, and is not distracted by external influences the way he had been before attending your class.
And just a note about your classes. Even in the small groups Yuki and I were a part of during the joint learning sessions with your other clients, I felt the time spent with Yuki and I was equally portioned and very personalized. Your depth of knowledge, experience and patience, as well as professionalism in transforming the tortured, chaotic and frustrating relationship I once had with Yuki to one that is balanced, calming, and loving is one that I frankly thought would never occur. THANK YOU!!!

Dear Dr. Plechner,
Jasper & I just finished puppy school with Caryl Wolff of "Doggie Manners" this week. We found her business card at your office & decided to give her a call as Jasper was having issues...
Jasper was fond of his daily walks, so fond in fact that it seemed he might pull my arm out of its socket; Jasper couldn't sit-stay for longer than 30 seconds & finally, since we were attacked some months ago by a dog on the loose, Jasper has been super aggressive towards every dog he sees.
Under Caryl’s supervision, Jasper is on his way to becoming the well behaved dog I knew was in him somewhere. He is an excellent student & with the help of Caryl’s expert training, Jasper has learned to behave on his leash by not pulling ahead & becoming aware of the person walking him, not to mention he can sit-stay for the duration of an entire meal!!!
Caryl is a wonderful teacher & has an excellent rapport with dogs as well as with their owners. We found her to be very helpful in solving & explaining some of Jasper’s behaviors. She worked with us on a personal level & often extended class to share her knowledge with us. We really liked her training methods & we would highly recommend her to anyone interested in looking for a trainer for their pet. Thank you for your time & we'll see you soon!!

Once you trained *me*, Gustav has been a new dog. We worked hard that weekend, and almost immediately his behavior changed. He is perfectly house trained. In addition, he is learning new things well whenever we decide we need to work on something else. Thanks, and best of luck.
