Jenny was phenomenal. We had just adopted a 2 yr old doodle of some type from Operation Kindness. As the first week with him progressed so did his "playfulness" that almost became crazed and slightly scary. We had Jenny come to our home and of course he was on much better behavior for her. She gave us some tips and tricks to start with crate training, and disengaging in the undesired behavior. She had a list of enrichment toys that were great starts, however he kept progressing in his nips and jumps. Jenny checked in and we shared this. She recommended trying to take him off of the Trazodone that we were sent home with for him. That suggestion changed everything. He became the dream pup. We cannot say thank you enough for Jenny's care about our situation and diligence to reach out to do her own research and reach out to all of her resources to make the suggestion about his medication that ended up making us a happy family. She shared that for some pups, Trazadone can have the opposite effect and make them wired and hyperactive. Once he was off of it, everything else fell into place. Our vet learned we were working with Jenny and he also sang her praises. I can't say thank you enough to Jenny. She is the reason we are a happy family now. I was worried a trainer would come in with an ego or not listen, but Jenny was not only knowledgeable, but patient and listened to everything we wanted to share. She never dismissed our emotions and not only reassured us through the struggles, but ended up finding the solution to help our sweet boy be so wonderful. He is a totally different pup thanks to Jenny.

We love Wigglebutt Academy!! We have a corgi that was showing resource guarding issues and was reactive to other dogs. After two sessions with Nicole we had the techniques and the knowledge to deal with the issues. He is finally getting along with other dogs....and sharing his water bowl!!! We are so thankful our vet recommended Wigglebutt to us!!! Nicole has helped us with his manners and being better furparents. I have tried other trainer methods with previous dogs and Nicole's are by far more positive and successful!! We highly recommend Wigglebutt Academy!!!

I reached out to Wiggle Butt Academy for help with one of my dogs showing aggressive behavior. I’ve started working with Nicole, the owner, and even after just a few sessions, I’ve already seen encouraging progress. While we still have work ahead, I feel hopeful. Nicole uses a kind, positive reinforcement approach—no e-collars—and took the time to understand my goals and tailor the training accordingly. She’s knowledgeable and clearly passionate about helping pets succeed.

Sally was amazing! She’s so kind and thoughtful and worked wonders with our dog. She included our whole family in the process and tailored everything to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
