Dog Obedience Training for Life
Building strong bonds one lesson at a time
Training Program Highlights
- Tailored Training Approach –We work closely with each client to design a personalized training program that meets their specific needs.
- Comfortable Training Environment – Our private training sessions are conducted in the dog’s familiar home environment, ensuring optimal learning and comfort throughout the process.
- Beyond Basic Cue Delivery –We create training plans that not only teach cue delivery but also help dog parents seamlessly integrate the dog’s new skills into everyday life.
- Continued Access to Trainers –Our clients benefit from ongoing support even after their in-person training sessions conclude. Through our Office Hours membership program, former clients have the opportunity to connect with the trainer each month during an online Office Hours session.
- Access to Online Study – Beginning in the Fall of 2025, we will introduce our first online course. This course will guide participants through real-life cases, exploring what contributed to success and what led to challenges. By examining how other pet parents navigate difficult situations, participants can gain valuable insights and comfort.

Complex Canine Behavior Options and Pricing
At Wishes and Wags, we understand that reactivity and aggression can be emotionally overwhelming — even heartbreaking — for pet parents. These behaviors are often complex and rarely have a quick “fix,” but with thoughtful obedience training and effective management strategies, there can be hope for meaningful improvement.
One of our greatest passions is helping pet parents understand why their dog behaves the way they do, and guiding them toward a positive, informed approach that improves quality of life for both dog and family.
Canine anxiety can have many causes, and — like other complex behaviors — there’s no one-step solution. It’s especially common in rescue and shelter dogs, who may carry past experiences that influence their current behavior.
Forms of anxiety, such as separation or isolation anxiety, can lead to challenging behaviors at home. Our trainer works with you to identify the causes and provides practical, compassionate strategies to manage and improve your dog’s well-being over time. There can be hope for meaningful improvement to quality of life for both dog and family.
Consultation – 90 minutes – $150
Training – 60 minutes – $125 per session
