How do I begin the training process?
Contact us using the form on our website or give us a call or email so we can schedule a free phone consultation and discuss the best program for your pooch.

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.

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.
