I called Wag Time because we relocated from a country environment to a suburban one. Our 100lb dobie wasn’t used to all the excitement in his new neighborhood and he became reactive towards other dogs. It’s been a long hard road for us but I’d have to say we finally turned a corner thanks to Don’s help. He has given us the tools to redirect our boy. When he had a vet appointment they asked me if I’d sedated him because he was so calm. That is huge for us! Don has alway kept our line of communication open between visits and that’s been very helpful. I would highly recommend Wag Time to anyone considering dog training.

We called Don when we needed help after some fights with our newly blended dog family. He immediately helped us put tools in place to keep us all safe in our home while providing training that was logical and easy to follow and practice between sessions. He helped us to realize that our situation wasn’t hopeless, and with attention, focus and consistency, we can safely manage our brood with less stress. Our dogs have responded well to Don and his training methods, and we are grateful to Don for helping us when we desperately needed it.

This should almost be required for new dogs and new dog owners. Don takes his time to build a relationship with your fur children (dogs) and has never ending patience. He trained my Zoey as a puppy and she’s still so well behaved! Also training that doesn’t demean or shame your dog and so anti abusive training tactics. Your dog shouldn’t fear you. Just obey. Don will observe and train you wherever he sees area for improvement without saying it’s wrong... Don might even be a good kid trainer, but dogs love you more and longer.

Don has done amazing work with our 2 very strong pulling pit bulls. It was hard just walking 1 dog without feeling like an anchor. I can now walk both dogs at the same time with them at my side. They still get a little excited when other dogs come by, but nothing I can’t correct. I use to get so anxious when I see another dog. I now walk with confidence that I can redirect them and keep their attention on me. He provides you with the tools and equipment you need to help correct both owner and dog bad behaviors. Thank you Don Kelly Grass
