Gentle, reward-based training and behavior modification for your best friend.

There's a famous quote that goes something like "Aquiring a dog may be the only chance we have in life to choose a relative." That's so true! They are family members.

Our relationship with dogs now is much different that it was a generation ago. Instead of Rover and Fido tied out in the yard, their names are Sammy or Buffy and they sleep on the bed with us! And yet, because we live so intimately with our dogs, any bad behaviors they have (that might have gone unnoticed when they lived outside), become more troublesome, and even threatening to people and property. Understanding the differences and the similarities between our two species is now even more important.

Welcome to a new way of communicating with a family member you truly love, but that doesn't speak your language! Training and behavior modification opens up the lines of communication between you and you dog, and gives you a path to understanding each other. You both win! You get the improved behavior you want, and your dog now understands the rules to get the love and attention he craves.

Waggin's West Dog Training and Behavior Consulting offers you the opportunity to create a peaceful and loving family relationship between you and your dog, that supports you both, and builds a stronger bond that will last a lifetime.
