The staff at Wag Ur Tail has been so friendly this far. I haven’t started my training sessions but I am looking forward to a more well behaved dog.
Wag Ur Tail was prompt and professional with my complicated dog training needs. I appreciated the thoroughness of their questions and their ability to use multiple modalities to assure excellent and consistent dog training. Thank You!!!
It was so helpful working with Mike for help with our Sasha. She progressed rapidly and very well with his assistance. All of his suggestions and directions helped to change our dogs guardedness and shyness and House, leash training very nicely and pretty rapidly. She is so much more fun when we can now do things confidently with her. Mike was patient , kind and very professional. It was a very positive experience for our pet as well as us. Thank you again Mike. I will keep you in mind when friends ask about Sasha’s good behaviors. I wouldn’t hesitate to make a referral.
If you consider your dog to have a behavioral issue, the best course of action is to contact us and let a professional, like Mike Morrison help you to identify and solve the problem.
