Boundaries and calmness

A calmer home and clear boundaries

Zee D.
"Our doodle didn't know her boundaries, was all over visiting family and friends and loves to destroy anything fabric that includes our furniture. Tim just didn't train the dog but trained us on better handling. Its so peaceful to have a dog that respects her boundaries and no longer destroys everything she can get her hands on. We also liked that he trained our dog to use the treadmill for those days we can't take her out for a walk due the bad weather but can still get the energy out. I would highly recommend his training service."
Behavior support

Knowledgeable about dog behavior

Krysta D.
"He is extremely knowledgeable about dog psychology and behavior and will work with you to figure out exactly how to help your dog. I highly recommend him to my grooming clients and my friends and family."
Young dog training

Samwise blossomed under training

Rick M.
"Our 6 month old lab, Samwise, has really blossomed under his training, not to mention all we have learned too!! We highly recommend Tim at Wagging Rights Dog Training."
Obedience and off-leash work

From basic obedience toward off-leash reliability

Jon W.
"The progress that was made with our 6 month old high energy cattle dog was amazing..she went from having no knowledge of basic obedience to being well on her way to being off leash trained. His overall knowledge of dogs and how to get them to respond to his various training methods was great. Tim comes highly recommended from our family to yours. If you are looking to truly enjoy your petto the fullest by having them be attentive to you and listen to you then Tim is definitely the person to call!"
Owner coaching

Tremendous results over time

Adam P.
"He uses many different skills to train and apply with the owner of the dog for better results. I would highly recommend Tim and Wagging Rights for your dog training."
Leash confidence

Walking Emmy Lou feels good again

Lyn D.
"He's great with dogs and very caring. He did a phenomenal job with my dog, Emmy Lou. I look forward to walking her now where I was afraid before since she's so strong. She behaves 100% better! Thank you Tim."
Puppy foundations

A puppy becoming a great canine companion

Stacy B. and Quinn
"Tim is an AMAZING, enthusiastic and knowledgeable trainer. He has taught my 4 month Bernese Mountain puppy a new great behavior everyday! She is well on her way to being a great canine companion!!! Call this company! They are wonderful, hard working and always there for their customers!!!"
Public manners

Compliments in public with Athena

Adam, Hillary, and Athena
"Thank you so much, Tim, for the outstanding dedication and commitment you gave to our puppy and my family, it was outstanding! We were incredibly impressed with how Athena has turned out with the help of your training and your expertise! We take her to public places all the time and constantly get compliments. Given the fact that Athena is a Presa Canario, and looks like a bully breed, people are vary cautious to approach her. But then she wins them over with her excellent temperament and training! I highly recommended him to all my friends and family."
Puppy behavior and manners

Louie's unwanted puppy behaviors changed

Christine Spencer
"Tim has been an absolute god send for our family. Before Tim started working with Louie our Wheaten puppy, Louie would jump, puppy bite, pull, have accidents in the house and just overall not listen well. Tim eliminated all of the bad behaviors and taught Louie many new behaviors which he does reliably. You can clearly tell Tim has genuine passion and enthusiasm for dogs and training them. We highly recommend him"
Family manners

An over-exuberant puppy became part of the family

Chris M.
"Tim turned our over exuberant puppy into a well behaved member of our family in just a few visits. He also trained my wife and I on to take our pup to the next level. We now refer to him as the GOAT (the dog, not Tim). I would highly recommend Tim's services to anyone, however be prepared to commit time on your own to enhance his training techniques."
