Why Professional Dog Training Matters
Customized Training.
Our skilled trainers possess the expertise and attention to detail to provide fully customized training. No two dogs are alike, so no two training programs are alike. This approach ensures your dog’s program is well-suited to their learning style, maximizing success.
Knowledge & Guidance.
Training begins here, but it solidifies at home with you. We’ll provide you with the background information and guidance needed to fully understand your dog and their unique motivations. Your family will learn how to build upon your pet’s new skills and make the most of training together, which is an incredibly rewarding bonding opportunity with your pet.
Keeps Dogs Safe.
While harmony at home and good manners are incredibly important, an even more critical benefit of professional dog training is how much safer it makes the world for your dog. Untrained dogs tend to bolt out of doorways and cars, putting them in potentially dangerous situations such as in traffic, after a wild animal, or getting lost. Even more critically, they often don’t come when called, either. We train your dog in impulse control, respect of thresholds, and proper recall to vastly improve their safety in the real world.
“Our puppy Cooper did so well with Wag Days Puppy Preschool. Colby is an awesome trainer and I love all of the videos and pics they take of him during the day.”
Dog Training FAQ
What vaccinations are required for training?
To keep our guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs be up to date on their vaccinations for Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. We also require our canine guests to be on a flea and tick preventative.

What is the training evaluation like?
You’ll meet one-on-one for a consultation with a member of our training team to discuss your training goals and challenges. We’ll outline our methods, introduce you to our various programs, and collaborate with you to identify the most suitable training plan for your circumstances. This meeting is where we start crafting your customized training program!
What can you teach my dog?
Our trainers specialize in helping your dog become the best family member possible. We do this by training the most important obedience cues, such as sit, stay, come when called, and leave it. We also work on leash skills, social skills, and home manners.
Can you work on a specific goal with my dog?
We’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and challenges, so we may be able to help with a particular challenge. When you come in for your free training evaluation, we’ll discuss how we can help.
Can you work on my dog’s social skills?
Yes! Social skills are so important to developing a well-rounded dog. While we aren’t equipped to handle cases of extreme aggression, many of our programs have a social element so your dog can exercise his or her social skills with easygoing, friendly pups in a professionally supervised place. For the young ones, we offer complementary puppy socialization to get them started off on the right paw.
