Pamela Johnson is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with over twelve years of experience working with families who have puppies with misbehavior and reactivity issues. At Wags and Wiggles, she completed a year and a half internship, training multiple dog breeds, to pass the CPDT test. While interning at Wags, she finished a two-year agility class and received several 1st-place blue ribbons at her first CPE agility trial. To gain experience working with Pit Bulls, she volunteered for the Orange County Pit Bull Rescue. Years of research and personal experience have been instrumental in developing Pamela's unique training techniques. Her experience began with successfully training her family's pet German Shepherds.

Our Manchester Location is now open! Mandy Zatorski (CPDT-KA and CBCC-KA) is a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant. She specializes in obedience training, behavior modification, and rehabilitation. She uses science-based methods rather than using punishment. She does not use prong or shock collars, as punishment based training can be detrimental to animals. All of her training apprentices and the trainers working with her use science-based methods as well. We offer private sessions, group classes, and in home training. The first step is setting up a consult on our website.
