Wyatt Weidemann

Alabama Dog Trainer

wyatt weidemann headshot

Originally from Texas, Wyatt grew up around many different dogs – and that’s where he got his inspiration to learn how to train dogs and be able to build better relationships with them.

Wyatt graduated from the Police Dog Trainer program at the School for Dog Trainers in late 2022. His favorite aspect of the course was how it was more hands-on with the dogs, rather than reading a book and being in a classroom all day.

Wyatt really enjoys dog training because, of all the different dogs he gets to work with, and all the different lessons and skills he learns from each dog he trains. His goal is to help clients achieve a better relationship with their dog.

Dog Training Locations

Wyatt proudly serves dog training clients in the following areas:

  • Cullman
  • Warrior
  • Hayden
  • Bremen
  • Hanceville
  • Good Hope

Private lessons are a great option for dog owners who may be unable to attend weekly group training classes. Private lessons allow our trainer to come to your home and coach you in the proper methods of training and reinforcing your dog’s behaviors. We commonly find that even small mistakes in reinforcement and communication create problem behaviors in dogs that can be extremely frustrating for owners.

Private lessons allow our trainers the opportunity to see you interact with your dog in your own home and explain proven methods of training and problem solving.  We offer several of our dog training programs in private lesson formats, including basic obedience, off-leash obedience, dog behavior modification and our on and off leash package. On average, our dog training private lessons last from six to seven weeks.

Dealing with aggression and other dog related problems can be extremely frustrating for many people. These behavior problems are the number one reason that dogs are surrendered to the local shelters and euthanized. Many dog owners simply don’t have the knowledge and resources to deal with these problems in a way that is effective.

Life with your dog simply doesn’t have to be this way! Our Alabama dog trainers give you practical, effective solutions to resolve dog behavior problems. They help dog owners deal with everything – from simple problems like jumping on people and barging out the door, to more complex problems like aggression and biting. We deliver our dog training programs in a way this is simple and effective, and services are customized to meet the individual needs of you and your dog.

We specialize in dog behavior modification training to help owners remedy difficult and frustrating problems. Because our emphasis is on dog behavior problems, we are quite successful in rehabilitating dogs that other trainers and dog behavior specialists decline to work with. We also welcome what are often considered to be difficult and hard to train dogs or breeds. If you are having problems with your dog, we have the solutions! 

With over twenty years of experience with working dogs of all types, Corey Archer offers a variety of working dog training programs throughout Birmingham, AL and the surrounding areas. 

Corey is a current Police K9 Handler, in addition to being a police K9 instructor.  Prior to her passing in 2013, Corey also handled a German Shepherd, human remains detection dog, in which the team had numerous finds credited to their work.  Corey offers training and certification for Police K9 teams as well as for teams needing training with drug detection and bomb detection dogs.  He also offers training and certification for a variety of types of search and rescue dogs, including, tracking and trailing dogs, urban search and rescue Dogs, wilderness search and rescue dogs and cadaver dogs.
