WonderDogs Needs You: A Legacy at Risk

Now WonderDogs needs you!

Please help us save WonderDogs Canine Activity Center in West Berlin, New Jersey.

Established in 1997 – yes, nearly 28 years ago – WonderDogs has served dog owners in South Jersey and beyond with kind, gentle, effective training for basic manners from puppy through advanced and dog sports and activities to enrich the dog/owner bond and just have fun.

We offer small group classes and do not use shock collars, choke collars or any harsh corrections. Our objective is to teach owners how to train and have fun with their dogs in the most enjoyable – not to mention, the most scientifically effect - way. We try to keep our prices moderate so as not to exclude owners who need us and want the best for their dogs.

In an effort to survive in the midst of intense competition (many using punitive training methods), we have moved to a smaller facility, increased the variety of classes we offer and

advertised extensively on Facebook, our student-directed email messaging, Instagram

and through brochures and information at other pet related facilities such as vet offices,

groomers and pet stores.

Despite all this, we find ourselves in a very challenging financial situation and we are in immediate danger of closing our doors thereby depriving our current and future students of this important and much loved institution and all that it has to offer. We need your help by donating what you can and signing up for classes when you can.

Money donated will help us bridge the gap at this difficult period. With your help, we can pay our amazing staff, most of whom have been with us for decades and who do such a wonderful job helping you raise a pet you can really be proud of and who is a truly a WonderDog. Whether it has been through basic manners training, therapy dog prep, agility, rally, tricks and so much more, we’ve been here for you and now we need you to be here for us. Donations will also be put toward our rent, routine expenses and all that goes into helping us continue our mission of training with “kindness above all.”

Our students have formed lasting relationships with one another and with our staff. The

pleasant, social, family-oriented environment we provide makes attending classes at

WonderDogs an activity that both owners and dogs look forward to. So we’re asking for help and hope we can count on you to be there for us as we have been and hope to continue to be there for you in the future.

We are blessed to have you as part of our WonderDogs family and, as family, we hope

you can and will help. Thank you.
