I have struggled with my lovely little tazmanian devil in all aspects.. raised her from a pup so what could go wrong? Me!! thinking all dogs learn the same. At a very young age luna was scared senseless by very loud motorbikes on one our first walks out. This made luna scared of the world and leaving the house was an issue. Money and time put into reassuring her and getting her out was spent along with numerous trainers, multiple classes. Then luna reached a point into realising the world is an AMAZING PLACE. Sooo good I was no longer relevant to her walks, she would pull and pull my hands would hurt, I would come home in tears from pain and frustration. I would put off going out because it was just plain and simply was not a nice time or experience. Wrong I know, but I would find myself loosing my temper and getting mad at her for essentially walks that was all my fault in the first place, in terms of learning to understand my dog. I went to see Laura. Laura noticed my weaknesses and lunas struggles. She explained to me where i was going wrong in terms i would see it, not normal dog trainer jargon. Me and luna followed laura instructions and yes sometimes was moved to different classes and sometimes we had to take a few steps back and we tried different methods, again all on the advice from wags n woofs. I can now walk luna confidently, my hands are not shredded, I enjoy our walks and thats all I wanted. I wanted to be able to take luna out if im going places dog friendly and not be embarrassed by her behaviour or worry about my hands hurting or wven being pulled over.. and here we are. I understand this is a long review but I wanted to capture that it hasnt been a short journey for myself and luna and Laura has been there every step of the way. Even out of hours I have messaged and had support. I wouldn't have got this far without that. Thank you wags n woofs for making my outside world shine. 🐾 Not only does my pup actually listen to me now but I am also much happier our walks are beautiful. 💕

As first time dog owners of just over a year, we hadn't really had any form of training, so were a bit nervous about how it would go and whether we'd instilled bad habits into our pup. We approached Laura for help when walking our dog on short lead. Having looked at where we were, Laura was able to provide us with the tools to improve our experience, working with us, to use methods that seemed to work well for us. Not only has our walking on short lead experience improved, but we were also able to make huge strides on waiting to cross, and crossing the road, which before, our pup would be be quite anxious about, which could make it quite difficult. Would recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for any sort of training for their pup 🐶

Massive help with helping me. My dog used to go nuts with strangers entering the house. To the point I avoided guests. Taught me how to fix the issue. Thank you kindly.

Laura is very professional and caters for all dogs and issues and changes the training depending on the dog/issue. Offers a lot of different training methods and 121's or hroup sessions and can also do home visits. Would recommend this lady, to anyone

Thank you Laura for all your help with my boisterous boy. You put so much effort into helping me understand where I (not my dog) was going wrong even texting me with ideas on how to deal with certain elements of his training. You are so dedicated to helping your clients and such a pleasure to know. Many thanks for all your help with Kaiser. We will definately come back 🥰

I was having problems with Barley's loose lead walking , recall and behaviour when we have company and I was worried I wouldn't be able to cope with him as he is a very strong Golden Retriever but Laura showed me techniques and I now feel a lot more confident and Barley is getting a lot better. Thanks Laura

I would highly recommend Wags n Woofs for all aspects of dog training. 1:1 sessions. Socialisation, scenting, recall etc. Laura is very approachable and extremely knowledgeable. My Bailey has come on "leaps and bounds" 😆since attending Wags n Woofs. Highly Recommended.

Lora is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, Maggie🐾 enjoyed her socialising classes and improved greatly, would highly recommend her for any dog training needs you may have. Give Wags n woofs a go you won’t be disappointed.

Wags and woofs have been fantastic for me and my little Jack Russel. From socialisation classes to a personalised training planner and then days where he spends at Wags and Woofs to really fine tune his training. Great attention to detail, always good feedback and advice on how to maintain and progress. I have found whatever concern i have with Olaf that Laura has been able to explain the function of the behaviour and training techniques that engage Olaf. Highly recommend for dogs of all ages.

FAQs 🐾

How long does it take to train a dog?

There’s no straight up answer. Training depends on your dog’s age, history, environment, and the consistency of training that comes from you, the owner, between sessions. Some improvements can happen quickly, while deeper behaviour change takes time. Our focus is on sustainable progress, not quick fixes. I always recommend tracking your training progress so you can see how far you have come.

What age should I start training my dog?

Training can start the moment your dog comes home. Puppies benefit from early guidance, but dogs of any age can learn new skills. It’s never too early — and never too late — to start. Training starts at home, not when you can get them out on a walk. even teaching lead pressure.

 

How often should I train my dog?

Short, regular sessions work best. A few 10-15 sessions a day, woven into everyday life, is far more effective than occasional long sessions. Training should fit your lifestyle, not take it over.

 

Why does my dog pull on the lead?

Lead pulling is usually caused by excitement, habit, or frustration and lack of consistency with correction and praise in a timely manner. We focus on teaching dogs how to walk calmly while meeting their needs for movement, exploration, and clarity. We teach them the correct position and we teach owners how to interact at the right time.

 

How do I stop my dog jumping up?

Jumping is often a friendly or ever excited greeting behaviour. We work on teaching alternative, calmer ways for dogs to interact while making sure everyone stays comfortable, safe and relaxed.

 

Why does my dog behave at home but not outside?

Dogs don’t generalise learning well. Behaviours learned at home don’t automatically transfer to busy environments. Part of training is helping dogs succeed gradually in more challenging settings. Try retraining the behaviour you want in many different areas but going back a few steps when you move to each new area.

 

 

Do you use food or treats?

Yes and no, food is often used as a learning tool, especially in early stages. As skills improve, rewards are gradually varied so dogs respond reliably in everyday life. We also use clickers and training dummies/ dogs favourite toys etc. This is unique to each dog and will depend on your own dogs motivators.
