At Wag & Train, IT’S ALL GOOD! We only use positive reinforcement and do not use or condone force-based training, as it only increases stress and does irreparable damage to your dog’s emotional state.
Our specialties include aggression, fear, and anxiety. We have over seventeen years of experience working through these behaviors. If you're living with a dog who needs behavior modification, we can help!

Aggression is a frustrating and often embarrassing problem for dog owners, plus the dog bite laws are very strict in Colorado so having an aggressive dog is a huge liability. There is hope, though! Work with Kari Bastyr, MS, VSPDT, CDBC, to help you increase your dog’s confidence, decrease his underlying anxiety, teach him dog/people language, and manage her environment to decrease the chances of an aggressive response. You should never try and treat aggression by yourself or with what information you get on TV- you will inevitably make it worse. Aggression is NOT about dominance, so Kari will help you understand why your dog behaves aggressively. The behavior modification plan includes work with Kari’s dog (if applicable) to help teach you what to do when your dog is scared or acts out. She has over 17 years experience helping large, aggressive dogs but can help any dog overcome his fear and insecurities. This package includes the initial consult and either two or three subsequent visits as laid out in your behavior modification plan.
