WAGD on Wheels

In Home, Virtual or On Location Training

Sometimes life is hard. We’re here to help! Not every pup is comfortable in our training center and coming to us isn’t always the best solution for your problem. In the WAGD on Wheels (WOW) program our trainers come to you!  We offer specialized in home, virtual and “in the wild” sessions.  Your dog gets to train within their comfort zone. We can help with a wide variety of behavior challenges.

Issues We'll Help Solve

  • Dog reactivity (over reacting at the sight of other dogs or people)
  • Fear and anxiety related behaviors
  • Jumping, leash pulling, not coming when called
  • Resource guarding
  • Puppy training
  • Manners training (sit, down, stay, come, etc.) 
  • Separation Anxiety (go to this page)


What's included

You’ll start with a 30-minute virtual consultation (your choice of a phone call or  Google Meet), where your trainer will learn about your dog and training goals. The trainer will develop a training plan specific to your dog. Based on your dog’s training plan, subsequent sessions may be scheduled at the following locations: 

  • In your home
  • Public park
  • Dog friendly business
  • Virtual (Zoom or Google Meet)

With WAGD on Wheels, you will have access to communicate with your trainer, via e-mail, in between sessions, submitting questions and progress videos and getting feedback. Sometimes guidance at just the right time can make the difference between a training plan being derailed or being a big success!
