Where will my dog be staying?

Dogs stay in our certified trainer’s homes. Each dog will have access to ample exercise, treats, toys and tons of training and love.

What training methods do you use?

Wag Mates Academy is a positive reinforcement only company. Your pup will be trained with lots of treats, toys and most importantly, LOVE!

How much will training cost?

The training cost depends on the pup's age and specific issues. The program's duration ranges from 2 to 10 weeks and is fully customized to your dog's needs.

Do you have payment plans?

Absolutely! We offer payment plans in partnership with AFFIRM, including 6 months with no interest and 12/36 months with 15% interest.

Do I expect post-training homework?

How will I receive updates about my dog during training?

During the program your trainer will be speaking to you every day through Signal, sending daily updates of how your pooch is doing and showing you their progress.

Which vaccines are mandatory for my dog to have?

Before the training, your dog is required to have the DHLPP, Bordatella, and Rabies vaccines. Ensuring your dog's vaccinations are up-to-date helps maintain a safe and healthy training environment.

What preparations do I need to make before the training?

To prepare for the training, you will receive a packing list a week before the program starts. This list will include various items, any required medication for your dog (if applicable), as well as necessary toiletries.
