  I did 5 sessions with Wendy for our reactive dog, Gizmo. She provided us with the positive reinforcement tools that we use to work with Gizmo and his reactivity. She also helped us understand why he may react the way that he does. With these tools and the sessions I’m definitely seeing improvement his behavior. I definitely recommend Wendy for any of your pups needs.

  Wendy Taylor is a truly exceptional dog trainer and caregiver. Her passion for animals shines through in every interaction, and her deep understanding of canine behavior is nothing short of inspiring. From the moment I contacted The Life of Riley, I felt confident that my dog was in the best hands possible. Poe quickly joined in the training. Best of all, the training was done in my home. Wendy’s approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, and she takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. Her training sessions are not only effective but also fun and engaging—for both pets and their humans! My dog has made incredible progress thanks to her guidance, and our bond has grown stronger as a result. What sets Wendy apart is her genuine love for animals and her commitment to helping people build lasting, joyful relationships with their pets. She’s not just a trainer—she’s a mentor, a cheerleader, and a true advocate for animal welfare. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and help you bring out the best in them, I wholeheartedly recommend Wendy Taylor and The Life of Riley.

  We are so thankful for Wendy. She helped us understand why Cooper barked like a fool 😱🤣at other dogs and even some teenagers—something we had struggled with for a while. Wendy not only identified the root of the problem, but also showed us practical ways to help Cooper feel safer and more confident. All with positive reward training. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’ve even trained two therapy dogs. But Cooper was a mystery I just couldn’t solve on my own. Thanks to Wendy’s insight, patience, and guidance, we’re finally seeing real progress. We’re deeply grateful.
