Absolutely great job on training my 10mo old German Shepherd. My pup was trained for 3 weeks with Anthony. Anthony was very informative and gave consistent updates on how my pup was doing. I really appreciated the knowledge that Anthony provided to understand the psychology side that goes into puppy training but also to upkeep that structured routine that keep my dogs brain stimulated and entertained. Thank you so much for all that you did! Anthonys expertise goes beyond and truly cares about the dogs/puppys. Would highly recommend for all training needs.

My experience with Wag Mates and specifically Trainer David was amazing ! My pup came back home so much calmer and understood her commands with ease. David provided daily videos of my pup interacting with other dogs and even provided examples of how to properly execute a command. I recommend Wag mates for anyone who needs a board and train program for their furry friend .

Sent daily photos and videos with specifics on what was happening. When my dog returned, we recieved a full hour on what he learned, how he learnt it, and how to continue having him remember his training. We also recieved weekly progress reports on how our dog was doing.

I only have wonderful things to say about Wag Mates Academy. Anthony was fantastic working with our Grace. Being a Husky, she was a handful. She came home a new dog. Calm and obedient, and much easier to handle. Anthony sent us pictures and videos every day, explaining his training step-by-step. He answered all our questions and had a solution for all our issues. When he brought her home, he spent a lot of time with me showing me how to work with her and every detail. We have recommended Wag Mates to a few of our friends. We are looking forward to our monthly visits. Thank you so very much for taking such wonderful care of our Grace and turning her into a well-mannered Lady Husky!!

Wag mates academy was an awesome choice!! Sending your dog away can be so hard, but Ryan kept us up to date nearly daily with trainings and overall updates of our dog Clover which made time fly by! Though we are seeing Clover revert to her old ways a bit we are confident with the life time support of Wag Mates Academy, Clovers anxiety will become next to none as Ryan continues to assist us! Super thankful for this team!

If your looking for help with training go with wagmates hands down best choice! Especially the trainer my Luna (5 month old Malinois) got Anthony and the way he has trained and been with Luna I couldn’t have asked anyone better. In my book if anyone needs dog training wagmates is the way to go for sure ? I’m beyond happy I chose wagmates for Luna! I can’t find the words to describe my appreciation for all Anthony did with Luna. I know I have work to do with her but definitely didn’t know where to begin the foundation he set in place and guidance helps so much! Thank you so much for matching my beautiful girl with Anthony as her trainer. She cried when he left I was like even wanted to go with him ??♀️ that tells me she loved her training with him. Luna was in training for two weeks and when I say Anthony is an incredible trainer, probably doesn’t do it justice we got video feedback from Luna. We got pictures while she was in training. Anthony made sure to go into detail about exactly what he was doing how we can do it when she gets back home, all I’ve gotta say is he’s an amazing trainer and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Luna. She did have a lot facing her like separation anxiety, nervousness reactivity to strangers and other dogs. Of course we still have work to do but the groundwork Anthony has set is simply a game changer. I truly appreciate Anthony for training and taking such amazing care of Luna. And Macey for being so open to questions concerns and everything simply amazing customer service from Macey. I see all the other reviews of customers happy with their trainers, but I think Luna got the best trainer in the company(:

I adopted a German Shepherd-Husky mix dog from the pound a few months ago and while she has a very sweet disposition, she was not interested in training at all. She was a little shut down and honestly a little stubborn when it came to doing anything she didn't want to do.So when we started to look into training options, we came across so many options. All we knew is that we wanted to train her using positive reinforcement. Our dog, Ginger, was sweet and a bit timid and we didn't want her go through anything harsh as she had already spent 3 months at the pound and who knows how long on the streets.I reached out to a few different training companies, but after several disappointing calls, I got a call from Macey at Wag Mates Academy. From the start I could tell she had the best interest of my dog in mind. I spoke to her after having Ginger for 2 weeks, so she suggested I wait a bit longer to allow Ginger time to settle in more. She agreed that positive reinforcement would be a great option for Ginger. She was the only person to not pressure me to send my dog away ASAP.About a month later, she followed up and we talked about their board and train program. It was a tough decision, mainly because we would have to board Ginger for 3 weeks, but Macey was great at putting me at ease about the program and took the time to answer all my questions. Once we figured out dates that is when we were lucky enough to be matched with Njoud, who would take on training Ginger. We had a great call to discuss all of Gingers quirks, issues, personality and what I had been doing so far. We discussed logistics and what the goal for the program was.When Njoud came to pick up Ginger, I was immediately put at ease. Ginger was very timid with new people but she opened up to Njoud from the start. Njoud sent constant, daily updates, usually with pics, videos or both. She would walk us through everything she was doing so we understood. A big part of this is the humans being able to continue what is implemented in the program, so seeing clips of the training program really helped us feel like part of the training.Day after day and week after week we saw Ginger open up more and more and make such progress in her training. We Njoud talked us through at length anytime there was an issue or Ginger would struggle with something, so we would know how to handle it. The level of communication was incredible. We really felt at ease to ask anything. Njoud is truly amazing and super patient!When the 3 weeks were over, we got a completely different dog. We realized just how much she had been holding back. We got a detailed report and at drop off Njoud walked us through what Ginger had learned and she gave us the knowledge to be able to continue it. That timid dog that was holding back was no longer there and we got a playful, happy, well mannered dog back. She still has some issues she struggles with, but with consistency and the tools to work with her, I know Ginger will only continue to make progress.In the weeks since she has been home, Njoud has followed up with us and when I have questions about any issues I have with Ginger, I have been able to reach out and ask for advice on how to handle the situation in the future. They have lifetime support and you can set up time monthly to have a follow up session to discuss how things are going.It was truly had been a great experience and it was worth every penny. I can’t recommend them enough!

Dontae was the trainer for my puppy. The transformation in my adorable furbaby Ghost's behavior is truly remarkable. While he's still a young pup and has more learning ahead, being a French Bulldog, known for their training challenges, he's already mastered sitting, staying, and lying down on command. Furthermore, he now walks beside me and stops when I do. I'm genuinely astounded by this behavior change and eagerly anticipate watching my baby continue to improve. Many thanks, Dontae!❤️?

From the introductory contact with Emma to set up the training sessions to my puppy receiving the absolute top notch training from Max, I cannot fully express how pleased I am. Everyday communication via text & videos on my puppies daily activities & improvements were exceptional, concise & proves valuable as I need to continue what has been learned. For those reading this, I highly recommend Wag Mates Academy as they are professional, compassionate & caring from the office to the trainer.

After searching for a board to train, I’m glad I came across Wagmates. My dog had some behavioral issues that needed to be addressed. Luis is an excellent trainer and really made me feel comfortable leaving my dog during the training process. My dog is now well behaved. During hand off, Luis throughly explained everything I needed to keep up with my dog’s training to make her successful. I’m very happy and satisfied with how everything went.

Excellent experience with the service. Tressie was Alice’s trainer who is so helpful in getting her back on track. She sent daily videos, pictures with specific. Dog commands and release words to identify specific training elements. As a result Alice has been much calmer and follows commands which makes all of us happy.

I would highly recommend using Wag Mates for training your dog! Our trainer, Tressie, was super communicative during and after my dog’s stay and answered any questions we had. She sent video updates daily to show the progress they were making and was really thorough in our hand off session to ensure I knew how to maintain that progress at home. Overall it was a wonderful experience!

My experience with wag mates and my trainer was nothing but exceptional from the start. I had the pleasure of working with their amazing trainer Tressie for my Doberman and I was instantly able to see an improvement in my baby’s behavior when she came back. Having such a high energy dog for the first time and not always being sure how to direct it can be frustrating at times but since working with wag mates and Tressie I’m definitely more confident in this process. She took the time to walk me through everything that needed to be done upon my dogs return home from and made sure I was confident before she left us, and also allowed me to reach out for my questions/concerns.We 100% plan to continue on our training journey with Tressie and we’re excited and more than positive about the growth we know we’re going to see in our baby. Any future dogs I plan on getting will also hopefully have the opportunity to work with her too!

I appreciate wag mates and I recommend 1000%. The two weeks my baby was gone there was open communication EVERYDAY ??. Tressie (the trainer) was amazing and after training was over I was able to still ask questions regarding the training to keep up with her good habits. She came back a new baby ?. I would recommend this company to anyone.
