I rescued a one and a half year-old puppy - a German Shepherd mix from a local shelter. When I brought him home, he had major separation anxiety, and I was concerned about his behavior around other people . I contacted several certified dog trainers, and they all told me that there was no hope for this type of behavior- that’s just the way the dog is. They wanted to medicate him. I found Wag Mates and spoke with Bianca and expressed my concerns and she said they could absolutely help me! Luke entered a six week board and train program and they assigned Carlos as Luke’s trainer as he specializes in separation anxiety and aggressive animals- Carlos picked Luke up and he provided videos of Luke’s training every step of the way-Luke finished his training and was returned to me this morning. Luke is a completely different dog. He is full of confidence & so obedient. I am so glad I chose Wag Mates and they chose Carlos to be Luke’s trainer. He actually trained us both. He went above and beyond. I needed a crate for Luke and no way to pick it up-Carlos picked it up for me and installed cameras for me in my backyard. He addressed and handled every single concern I had! I highly recommend Wag Mates!

Carlos will be thrilled to hear your kind words, he really does go above and beyond! 💛 Wishing you and Luke all the best on this new chapter together!

Phenomenal Dog Trainer – Highly Recommend Brittany! Brittany is an absolute rockstar when it comes to dog training! She worked with our pup, Griddy, through her onboarding program, and the results were beyond our expectations. From day one, she was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly effective in teaching both Griddy and us as owners. Griddy responded so well to her methods, and we saw improvements almost immediately. Brittany not only helped with obedience and behavior but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. Her passion for dogs and her ability to tailor her approach to each pup’s personality truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a dedicated, skilled, and compassionate dog trainer, Brittany is the one! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to bring out the best in their furry friend. Thank you, Brittany!

Outstanding communication from my initial research inquiry, to our final talk at Mako’s homecoming with Bill. Awesome progress reports and videos giving us the confidence and tools to make our land shark into a great family member. Thank you Bill, and Wag Mates. G. & D. DeJarlais.

David was an amazing trainer and guide for our little one year old puppy. She learned alto understand many commands, and most importantly, we all learned how to ensure she has no more indoor bathroom accidents. She had a great time, and we could share in the learning through multiple daily videos and photos. What a new path forward with our Frenchie, and what a great training program with David and Wag Mates!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! 🐾 We’re so happy to hear your Frenchie had a great time and made such wonderful progress. David truly enjoyed working with her, and we’re thrilled the updates helped you feel part of the journey. Here’s to a fresh start and many happy, accident-free days ahead! 💛

Amy trained my 11 month old puppy. She had a previous owner that was unkind to her, so she was shy around strangers and scared of some household things. She was also an unruly puppy in general who had little to no previous training. Amy helped get her started on basic obedience and leash manners. She also got her potty trained and dramatically reduced her destructive chewing. She is now much more comfortable around strangers, has better impulse control, and is a lot more attentive to her owners. I live a somewhat busy life and I’m very pleased with the help I received getting my dog off to a great start. Thank you!

Dave Talbot our trainer, was absolutely amazing! What he accomplished with our dog "Nugget" (3.5 year old American Bully) over just six weeks was stunning. The progress far exceeded my expectations. Being able to see Nugget through multiple videos a day, including drone video, was beneficial so I could learn alongside him virtually --I can't imagine going through this process without it. I was also comforted by the fact that I could observe all of the love and attention, as well as training, that Dave was providing every day. I couldn't be more grateful! DON'T HESITATE -- GO FOR IT -- YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY YOU DID! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAVE TALBOT 100%
