  1. The Puppy Prodigy Program

The Puppy Prodigy Program

Puppy Prodigy Program

Do you have big dreams for your little pup? 

Are you excited to forge a deep and strong bond with this adorable being?


Do you want to ensure your pup's cognitive development is maximized to its full potential?


And most of all - do you want your puppy to stop turning into the Tasmanian Devil at 7 every night?

Don't Let This Time Slip Away

Puppyhood is not only one of the most challenging times in your dog's life, it is also a time of crucial brain development. Your puppy is learning how to behave around humans, how to feel about them, and how to live with them.


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.

Cutting Edge Curriculum

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 maximize your puppy's brain development with enriching training activities that build your bond and ensure your puppy reaches full potential.


Whether you are hoping to raise a dog who will be a service dog, a fantastic family companion, a nose-work champion or an agility competitor our curriculum will give your puppy the groundwork they need.

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


    • Force-free, choice-based education.
    • Dog-centered approach.
    • Intensive socialization.
    • Social learning.
    • Behavior modelling.
    • Language and communication.
    • Cognitive enrichment.


A Trainer And Community In Your Pocket

At Wag the Dog, we don't support you for an hour once a week. We're always just a text message away. We have regular online office hours, and a Facebook group.


What good is a Wednesday puppy kindergarten class when your puppy has your glasses in your mouth RIGHT NOW? What good are "sit" or "stay" when what you really need to know is why your puppy only bites YOU like that and never your partner?


With Wag The Dog you always have someone to turn to.
