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.

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.
