WAGGLES ACADEMY FOR DOGS INC. REVIEWS

A very supportive, educational, friendly, fun place to take your four legged friend. The environment has so much to offer. Saturday is the Best Day of the week for your Dog & self to socialize. Dogs can even get a swim in if they so desire.And the play school really enhances your dogs learning. Shar has helped us with training since 2012 . Fantastic Team of individuals at Waggles 10 stars !.

We have learned so much from the Waggles educators and our 5 year old Weimeraner, Kiya, loves everyone at Waggles. The staff are so pleasant and fun to be around and they are very knowledgeable. Char, the owner is an outstanding person and has so much expertise to share. Also, the facility is perfect and they offer so many lessons and options for teaching your dog various levels of training; socializing her with other dogs, and generally offering a wonderful bonding opportunity with your dog. So awesome!!.

Awesome experience. Very patient and knowledgeable. I've done four obedience courses over the years, and Waggles was by far the best. It's fun, easy to do (although you need to do consistent repetitions), and you really bond with your dog. Thank you Waggles for giving me the skills to keep working with Cricket!.

KARING HOLMES REVIEWS

We adopted our sweet girl when she was just 8 months old, and now at 11 months, the growth we’ve seen has been nothing short of incredible. Working with Kari on her journey toward becoming a therapy dog has been such a meaningful and emotional experience for us. Through Kari’s guidance, we have gained so much skill, education, and knowledge, but most importantly, she helped build my own confidence as a handler so I could help my girl build hers. Watching her respond so beautifully and absolutely thrive has been truly heartwarming. Seeing the bond, trust, and confidence grow in her has meant more to me than words can express. Thank you, Kari, for helping us see just how special she truly is and for giving us the tools to help her shine. Thank you Kari.

Kari has an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to dog training. The best way to judge a trainers methods is by looking at their dogs; are they tuned into her Are they excited to do as she asks Do they respond to their environment first or do they look to her Are they confident And most importantly, are they happy Kari's dogs and her clients are stars in all these categories. Kati, her facility and staff are all amazing to work with, and the proof is in the dogs.

Kari is amazing. She's been training my GSD, and it's been night and day with how my dog behaves now. Kari takes great care of the dogs she trains or boards and has been a huge help. I use her services to train as well as her dog boarding. I have no complaints and highly recommend her to everyone.

DOG SENSE BEHAVIOUR CONSULTING LTD REVIEWS

We’ve been using Angela since we got our puppy 6 weeks ago doing private and group sessions. As well as getting help with our older dog . She’s been absolutely amazing . Highly recommend getting her to help you with all your puppy/dog needs.

Angela is exceptional and life changing. She's made things so much better for me, my kids and their puppies with her training. She's gone well above and beyond answering our questions. Highly recommended.

Angela always has the best and most professional advice. You can tell she really enjoys what she does! Very patient and not forceful. Would highly recommend!.
