If you are forceful with your dog, or make your dog comply out of fear, you are not being dominant over your dog. You are being abusive. Your dog needs a calm, confident leader who will not use force, fear, or pain to 'teach. Dog training is not about dominance!

Wag & Train’s educated and talented staff can train any dog, but dog training is not enough. We train dogowners how to address the cause of the dog’s behavior, and how to teach appropriate behavior and manners through effective and success-oriented positive reinforcement. We don’t utilize or condone force-based training, and encourage all dog owners to make permanent changes in their dog’s behavior through patience, consistency, and repetition. Wag & Train specializes in the following classes and workshops to address a multitude of behavior challenges:

This is Cooper, our German Shepherd St. Bernard rescue that we adopted 3 ½ years ago.  He is an exceptionally smart being, but over the past couple of years his need to guard the family led to an incident where he bit a 7 year old girl with no warning. While it was inconceivable that we could ever live without him, I realized that we could not trust him with any non-family member in the house.
