DOG TRAINING CLASSES

At Waggies, we conduct private lessons & group classes. However, we highly recommend group classes for best results because you get to experience real-life distractions & better motivation levels in a class environment.

Our basic dog obedience course will cover all behavioural problems such as toilet/potty training, chewing problems, barking problems, biting & dog aggression. By the end of the 10-week course, you will also have mastered advanced “off leash” techniques where your dog will respond to basic commands without being on the leash.

Now, as for effectiveness, well, this is highly debatable. One could argue that if an alternate food reward was more desirable (a cookie vs. a “live” rabbit, for example) a dog might stop doing what he is supposed to do (“good behavior”), and chase the more delectable food source (“bad behavior”).
