The first dog training school and canine activity center of its kind in South Jersey, WonderDogs was established in 1997 by Barbara Kahn in West Berlin, central to Gloucester, Camden and Burlington County and only a short distance from Philadelphia. With the most talented, experienced and authentically credentialed instructors, WonderDogs has been serving the South Jersey area with outstanding instruction in pet dog manners from puppy classes and beginner dog obedience classes through advanced levels of obedience and Canine Good Citizen prep classes and testing. We are pleased to offer the most effective and enjoyable sports and specialty classes taught by instructors who are actively competing at top levels of their sports.

Whether you want your dog to be a well behaved pet, a therapy dog or a star athlete, WonderDogs can offer you training from the start with our Puppy HeadStart and Puppy Agility classes, plus classes for adolescent and adult dogs, reactive dog classes and dog sports such as agility, flyball, musical freestyle, show handling, nosework, rally obedience, agility for fun and many new activities that are constantly being added.

Small group classes with experienced, effective instructors are conducted in our West Berlin, New Jersey location just off Rte. 73 South in the Berlin Business Park located behind WalMart, which is convenient to all South Jersey areas and within an easy drive from Philadelphia and Central New Jersey as well.

Since we believe in giving each student appropriate training techniques to match the needs of that student and dog, this is not a one size fits all program. Our aim is to solve your problems whether they entail jumping, stealing, pulling on leash, housetraining, not coming when called or any of the myriad issues dog owners deal with.

If you want to learn from really knowledgeable professionals who are competing in their fields, have honest credentials, are involved in handling or judging dogs in competition or who have simply raised many dogs successfully for many years, WonderDogs is the dog training school for you.

Purebred or mixed breed, young or old, bold or shy, we have dog training to meet your needs. We never use shock collars (sometimes referred to euphemistically as remote training) or choke collars, relying instead on teaching owners to understand their pets more fully and communicate with them in non-confrontational, easy to accomplish and effective ways. We are family friendly and entire families are welcome to attend as we want pets to respect each family member. We use motivational training techniques and while we are positive and motivational in our approach to training, we do stress leadership rather than permissiveness. This is often called a "balanced" approach to training. Most importantly, we make learning fun for both the dogs and their owners!

Whatever your learning style, we are here to help. With written handouts, demonstrations, supervised practice and explanations, we approach each dog/owner team with patience, understanding and, most of all, an ability to make developing a great dog easy and pleasant.

In addition to our great classes, WonderDogs also offers a variety of dog seminars, workshops and events at our West Berlin location. Many of these are free of charge and those that are not are very inexpensively priced.

WonderDogs is near many South Jersey neighborhoods. Our students come from Cherry Hill, Marlton, Voorhees, Atco, Berlin, Medford, Medford Lakes, Mt. Laurel, Mt. Holly, and Moorestown. We also regularly attract students from the South Jersey shore areas, Franklinville, Sicklerville, Mullica Hills, Swedesboro, Pitman, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Audubon and Oaklyn plus many other towns in South Jersey.
