About Our Dog Training


Step 1.
Schedule your free evaluation- We will discuss your goals for training, our training philosophy, your dog’s behavior, pricing, and any questions you may have.
We encourage you to upload videos of you performing some basic obedience with your dog and footage of any concerning behavior as long as it is safe to get video of.

Step 2.
Pick training options that work best for you.

We offer private lessons that take place in our client’s homes and dog friendly public places. We also offer “Day Training” where we pick up your dog for an hr and your dog trains 1 on 1 with one of our trainers. “Day Training” must include periodic private lessons called “transfer sessions” so we can teach you how to maintain your dog’s behavior.

Step 3.
Let’s put in the work! Dog training is 100% relationship based. Now is the time to become the owner that your dog needs you to be.
Once we help you build a relationship that consists of Respect, Trust, Fairness, and Fulfillment you and your dog will be capable of living a much more fulfilling, enjoyable life together.

Step 4.
Ongoing support. Once your trainer has determined that you have reached a certain level of proficiency with your dog’s behavior and your handling abilities, you will qualify for our ongoing support group classes.
Support classes meet on a weekly basis and require signing up in advance as we max out at 10 students per class. We also offer our online course which takes you all the way through our training process as a free additional benefit to our clients.

We offer
Private Dog Training Lessons.
All of our dog training lessons are customizable. We start by training in the comfort of our client’s homes and then based off our client’s goals we venture out to public places such as downtown areas, dog friendly stores, dog friendly restaurants, forest preserves, bike paths and outside of majorly distracting areas like dog parks.

Founder/ Certified Dog Trainer
Fellow dog lovers,
My name is Tim Rains and I am the owner and dog trainer of Wagging Rights dog training. I am proud to be serving the fox valley area. One of my biggest joys is helping people learn to communicate with their dogs and increase the bond between them. It’s amazing to watch dogs learn and equally as amazing when people realize their dogs can be helped. I greatly enjoy being able to solve behavior problems always with the goal in mind to improve the lives of families and dogs.

About Our Dog Training

All of our trainers are certified dog trainers with many years of hands on experience. We continue our education each and every year by attending seminars, workshops, being members of professional dog training educational organizations, shadowing other reputable trainers, and by studying books as well as videos.

By being a member of several professional dog training organizations, we have access to and learn from some of the absolute best and most respected trainers in the industry. Through these experiences, we grow our skills, learn from the best, and spends much-needed time training dogs.

We understand that the reality of owning a dog, especially one with behavioral issues isn’t the same as the relationship you envisioned prior to getting a dog. It can be embarrassing, frustrating and down right dangerous. Our goal is to get you as close to your ideal relationship as possible. With the right knowledge, tools and hard work you will be amazed at what we can accomplish together.

Wagging Rights offers comprehensive private lessons rooted in rewards-based balanced training methods. Through our customized lessons, we provide effective training solutions that are proven to dramatically increase your dogs reliability, extinguish their problem behaviors, improve their quality of life and improve your relationship with your dog. Additionally, Wagging Rights ensures that you’re involved in every step, so you have the tools and knowledge you need to maintain what you’ve learned long after formal lessons have concluded.
