Make sure to choose a good trainer for your dog I enrolled my dog in a four-week training program at Wagmates in hopes of addressing her separation anxiety issues. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations, and I feel compelled to share my honest feedback. Firstly, it's essential to acknowledge that Dyese, the trainer assigned to my dog, does not specialize in separation anxiety. Despite this, I opted to proceed due to the urgency of the situation and Dyese being the only available option at the time. Regrettably, after the completion of the four-week training, I noticed minimal to no improvement in my dog's behavior. It felt more like a boarding experience rather than comprehensive training, as there was little evidence to suggest that my dog had learned anything substantial during her time at Wagmates. Moreover, considering the significant financial investment of $4000, the lack of tangible progress was particularly disheartening. My dog returned home exhibiting the same behaviors as before, and her separation anxiety remained unresolved. After expressing my frustration and dissatisfaction with the initial training, Wagmates arranged for an additional month of training with Ria, who specializes in separation anxiety. I am grateful that Wagmates did not charge me for this extension. Although it meant separating from my dog once again, it turned out to be a pivotal decision. Under Ria's guidance, my dog underwent a transformation. Ria's expertise and dedication were evident from the outset. She not only addressed my dog's separation anxiety but also went above and beyond in her care. Ria provided daily updates, offering reassurance and highlighting my dog's progress. Additionally, she took care of minor grooming tasks, such as brushing and nail trimming, which demonstrated her commitment to my dog's overall well-being. The results of Ria's training were remarkable. Previously, my dog would bark incessantly, even after the initial training with Dyese. However, with Ria's help, there was a significant improvement. My dog is now able to remain quiet in her crate and can be left alone for extended periods, a feat I once thought unattainable. Ria's passion for helping dogs shone through in every interaction. She even provided food and treats for my dog to take home, exceeding my expectations. Thanks to Ria's expertise and Wagmates' commitment to addressing my concerns, my dog and I have emerged from this experience with newfound confidence and relief. In conclusion, while the initial training experience was disappointing, Wagmates' dedication to customer satisfaction and the expertise of trainers like Ria ultimately led to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Wagmates, particularly for those seeking specialized training for their dogs' specific needs.

My pup just went through a four week… My pup just went through a four week training with David and I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the results. He addressed all my problems I was having and she came back so well behaved. I got videos daily and was in constant communication on her progress. I was a little skeptical at first and was wondering if it was going to be worth the money, but I have to say it was worth every penny!! I would highly recommend anyone who is having problems to not hesitate to contact them!!! Thank you David for all your help!!!!

Anthony is the dog whisperer!! Our German shepherd Bruno, who is 6 months of age. Went for 3 week intensive training with the trainer Anthony. Every day he will teach us new stuff about what he had being working with Bruno. Also how to approach Bruno since he’s still a puppy. He went in depth with all the helpful videos and tips. You can really tell the love and patience he has for dogs and he loves what he does. We are so please with all his work. Bruno came back as a brand new dog. When I tell you I couldn’t get around Bruno because he has a biting problem, now this morning I approached him the way Anthony told us too. He didn’t bite at all he just kept leaking me. We are very lucky to have him as Bruno trainer. I’m sure Bruno will miss him very much!!

Anthony Is the best trainer! 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 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 one.

Amazing service and trainer! 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.
