Success Story - Teddy Puppers


Woof of the Woods is part of our family. Over the past five years of working with them, they have guided us and supported us in achieving our goals of our dogs (obedience, therapy and service dog work). Offering a variety of services: board/ train, individualized training, group classes and group events; we have found all of it to be beneficial. Their feedback on nutrition and wellness has been invaluable. Give them a try and we will see you around!

Success Story - S'mores


My husband and I are so grateful for all the support we have received from Woof in the Woods while training our German Shepherd to be the best life companion. When we started training with them, our dog was so nervous that she hid behind my legs. Through basic and intermediate group classes at Woof in the Woods, she gained some self- confidence and has been coming out of her shell. We continue to participate in the pack hikes, brewery trips, and drop in classes at Woof and always have a great time! The staff always seems to have solutions or advice for any issues we experience, which is so helpful for us as first-time German Shepherd owners. Would definitely recommend Woof in the Woods for all your obedience training needs!

Success Story - Kiera


Thank you Woof in the Woods for the past several years of training and socialization. We got a puppy right before Covid and because you and your staff stayed open for training and socialization, we now have an amazing young adult dog. From Basic to Canine Good Citizen classes, she become the best trained dog we have ever had. She enjoys the Friday socializing so much, all we have to say is “let’s go to Woof” and she sits by the door waiting to go be with her friends.

The benefits of Woof Pack Adventures and picking up food and other goodies in the retail store is another bonus! We have and will continue to recommend Woof in the Woods to anyone who asks. The staff R, J, and T are the friendliest dog people (her pack persons).
