Wags n Wisdom Dog Training

I have been utilizing the services, talents and expertise of Wags and their trainers since my golden boy was 11 weeks old. I had read all of the books and watched all of the videos, but real-life application of all of that information proved to be harder than I imagined with my new energetic puppy-induced mom-brain. All of Wags’ services have been a sanity-saver! Personal In-Home 1:1 Training. Lisa knew what I needed before I could even articulate what I was struggling with. Not only did she simplify what to work on each week, it was all real-life application to help us in that moment and ease the several transitions we would both experience as my puppy grew. Lisa’s 1:1 training and general support were invaluable - validating what I was doing right, my experience as a new dog-mom and helped me through it all with her in-depth dog-knowledge. You can tell that dog training is not only her passion, but her second-nature, as she has a level of comfort and confidence teaching any and everything real-life pup-stuff. It’s not just about training your dog to do something you ask, but understanding them and their behavior. I’m so glad I had her to help me and my pup in a personalized way. Puppy Socials. Puppy Socials were much needed for both of our sanities and what I learned in the process was invaluable. Not only did my pup need to be socialized (and burn some energy), I learned so much about puppy body language, what’s appropriate play (and what’s not) and different play styles. Watching my pup interact with other puppies also gave me better insight into who he is, his personality and how he plays. My only ask would be for them to offer this for pups once they age-out to continue the Pup Parties! Group Trainings. Even though I learned so much during our 1:1 Trainings and probably didn’t “need” Group Training, testing my pup’s knowledge in a distracting group environment challenged my pup and gave me more confidence in him and what he really understands. Kirsten did a great job providing instruction and adapted to what the group needed - whether that was more personalized instruction or something more challenging. We just finished their Recall Class, which I appreciated as it’s done in a park - in the real-world! Train N Play. My pup ABSOLUTELY LOVES Train N Play. It is the most excited he gets all week. I like their open play structure and knowing they are reinforcing everything we are working on and more, while I get a little reprieve. I trust them completely and am confident they are invested in each pup and really know each one well enough to ensure everyone is safe and has a good time. My pup is also exhausted after! I recommend Wags to everyone - whether you think you need help training or not. Any of these services will undoubtedly help you and your dog live your best life together.
