80% of your puppy's brain is fully developed by 20 weeks of age. In just a few short months, dogs go from mewling, blind newborns to the developmental equivalent of a ten year old child.

Do not miss this crucial stage of development - the experiences your puppy has during those early months will create a lasting impact on your dog's behavior and personality. It also sets the stage for your relationship with your dog.

Our puppy education curriculum is modelled on the best practices of service dog schools for their puppies in training. Training sessions are private, and take into consideration the unique needs and circumstances of your household.

Our curriculum is designed to teach your dog how to understand the human world, communicate well with you, and live the best life possible.

Many of our clients are hoping that their puppy will one day become their own service dog. Many are just looking to have the best relationship with their dog possible. Whatever your motives, the goal is the same - to give your dog the best possible start in life, and to create a bond that will last for the lifetime of your dog.

Our methods incorporate the latest advances in canine cognition and education including:

• Force-free, choice-based education.
• Attachment/Bond based approach.
• Intensive socialization.
• Social learning.
• Behavior modelling.
• Language and communication.

However, we do have frequent group field trips and park meet ups so our clients' dogs can play, have fun, explore, and learn together.

• In-person private training sessions in the comfort of your home or online via Zoom or Google Meet.
• Field trips to pet-friendly stores and parks.
• Homework and online educational materials exclusive to Wag the Dog members.
• An online community where you can connect with other dog guardians
• Puppy meet ups and play sessions.
• Puppy training supplies.
• Payment in one bulk sum as a package, or monthly pay-as-you-go as part of a membership plan.
