This has to be the best dog training facility i ever been to. Their classes are well taught and their instructors give attention to every dogs individual issues. I only had training with two trainers but what I experienced has been great. One of their best trainer I have to say is miss Victoria who teaches barn hunt.

Im trying this place again 11 yrs later after getting a second dog during covid and wanting her and my older Jack to get some basics down so we can work on agility as they are both very hyper, intelligent energetic dogs ( Jack Russell's) the little one is a nervous nelly according to the trainer who conducted her group eval.. no surprise there as she's never really been socialized to people outside her family and other dogs besides her brother. The 11 year old is reactive on walks but he's got his basic commands down.. I expected both to go through some private training then a few group classes before jumping into agility. The owner was full of doom and gloom. She never asked to see what my older boy could do as far as tricks and commands. She quickly wrote him off as May never be able to participate in an agile class" In fact , she recommended zoom room training which is in McKinney . Thankfully I live in McKinney and took both in for an eval. After a comprehensive eval where the trainer was so delighted with my pups agility moves and tricks , he was cleared to start private agility to increase his confidence and to join some group classes later on . The little one was enrolled in basic obedience and socialization as well and she performed well with the agility equipment privately. Same approach for her. Keep bringing her in for private agility to build confidence , attend socialization classes and obedience group classes. WAG , thanks for referral to Zoom where they don't write off dogs because they think their training might be complex .. Owner mentioned private agility was expensive only to find out it was 65 bucks. Please don't count peoples pockets as you have no clue on what their thresholds are. Final note : Terrible experience second time around . Can't help to think they want a certain demographic at their facility because the input I received, made zero sense.

I highly recommend WAGD! My 3 year old pup Shadow and I have completed several classes with trainer Victoria -- and she's awesome! She's very easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable... I've described her as a "dog whisperer". She's so good at reading my pups body language - and literally knowing what Shadow is thinking! The front desk staff have all been FANTASTIC to work with! Lots of smiles... plus they each seem to TRULY CARE about my pup. Superior customer service is what you will find... and you don't see that everyday. Matter of fact, the service you will receive at WAGD is clearly a notch above the rest! In summary - if you are looking for THE BEST training for your doggo - or need every dog treat and healthy food you can think of... go check out WAGD!
