Very knowledgeable staff and excellent dog trainers. My dog is 3 1/2 years old and we were able to train him successfully through level 1. Highly recommend this academy and wished I had gone years earlier. More...

Love Love Love Waggles!!! The training and the team are amazing. My puppy is very social and distracted by lots and Shar and her team are the best at training and helping with specific suggestions. Zoey loves Waggles and so do I!

I adopted (as it turned out) a terror dog with zero impulse control, way to much energy and lots of socializing issues. Not only was Shar a wealth of information but her and her staff helped me as well as my dog Hope through every step we needed to take together. Thanks to her guidance Hope is now an amazing, if not still a touch quirky, very well mannered dog. She not only made the courses easy to follow but lots of fun for all party’s involved. I have and will continue to recommend Shar/Waggles to anyone I know with a new or even existing pup! More...

We absolutely LOVE Waggles. Our bernedoodle Porter not only has a safe and loving environment to spend time in, but it's been a constructive place for him too - Shar and the team give amazing feedback and work personally with each dog, and Porter's maturity has increased immensely since he has been spending time there. We know he's safe, loved, and looked out for while he's there, and we appreciate their commitment to our dog as if he was their own! More...

We just completed a 5 week private Level 1 training class with our 4 year old Aussie Reggie. He is seriously like a whole new dog! I just took him, our other dog and my two kids in a stroller for a long walk and it was the least stressful walk I have ever been on with him....I honestly never thought this was possible!!! I can’t thank Waggles enough for helping us train Reggie. We look forward to many more years of stress free walks and good times!! More...

Shar and her team go above and beyond; I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me and my dog, Letty. From training when I first got her, to their dog walking services, the Waggles crew has been there to help me out, even when my ridiculous work schedule makes consistency difficult. In a recent last-minute schedule change, I was having difficulty making sure my dog was going to get the care she needed - one text to Shar and the problem was sorted out with what can only be described as extremely short notice. Highly recommended. More...

I can’t recommend Shar and the team at Waggles enough. In the last few weeks especially they have gone above and beyond to help me and Letty out with unexpected turns of events and saying a simple thank-you just isn’t enough. You guys are amazing!

I've been attending the puppy classes for my very dog-nervous puppy. They make him feel welcome and help him socialize with other dogs and he's coming a very long way! I can't wait to continue advance training here. � I think the prices are very fair and cheap compared to most places! More...

My shepherd/husky mix, Kaylee ( now 4&1/2) has been attending classes since May 2016 with Shar. I can't say enough great things. Shar and her range of programs at Waggles Academy for Dogs have been a major benefit for Kaylee and myself. We are continually gaining competence and confidence. I have a pet who loves people, is great with small children, loves her 4 legged friends, eager to learn and is a great companion. We drive 1&1/2 hour each way to class but at the end of the day, no matter what the challenges are, the results are worth every mile. Kaylee loves Shar and will do everything and anything for her. I wholeheartedly recommend Waggles Academy for Dogs. More...

There are no words to describe how much we LOVE Shar and Waggles! Our black lab puppy Oliver has been going to school since he was 5 months, and now with Ollie celebrating his 1st birthday we are now almost at Level 3! Not a day goes by where we don't hear how well behaved Ollie is...we just can't thank Waggles enough! Sit, CLICK! TREAT! More...

We are so appreciative of all the great services provided by Shar and her staff. We got a new puppy last year and were referred to Waggles by our Vet. We enrolled in the Puppy preschool class and booked in regularly with the Waggles puppy visit service. This made house training very manageable, especially with both of us working! Once our dog was fully immunized, we have scheduled regular walks for him. There are many benefits of the dog walking service. Our dog gets to spend time and socialize with other dogs, he gets exercise, it breaks up his week to reduce boredom, and he benefits from the training provided by the dog walkers (usually Alice but also sometimes Tracy - they are both awesome!) We also have taken obedience courses from Shar and have learned a lot from them. We love the Wag n' Play sessions which are supervised off leash play time for the dogs. Puppies are even able to come before they are fully immunized as they have a special puppy area. We took advantage of this as well and Jasper really benefitted from it. I highly recommend Waggles!

Shar and Alice have gone above and beyond just walking my old girl. I enjoy seeing pictures of my girl every week and knowing exactly what time she was walked that day. The flexibility all the ladies have in changing a walking day is amazing! They truly understand that plans change from time to time. Thanks for all you do at Waggles. I would recommend Waggles to anyone! � More...

We are extremely happy with the service that Waggles has to offer. We have gotten so many tips and tricks. After we followed multiple classes, we also started the dogwalking service. The ladies are so great with our dog, and every time we get a walking report and a beautiful picture. More...

When we first brought our dog Lola to Shar she had some behaviour and trust issues. We have taken advantage of Waggles wag and learn and wag and play. Shar has been nothing but patient with Lola. Lola has made leaps and bounds and now two years latter she is a completely different dog. Lola has really taken to Shar and puts so much trust into her. Every time she sees Shar she gets a whole butt wag (which means she must be really special to Lola). Thank you for everything you have done for us and continue to do. We couldn't have done it without you � More...

I adopted Georgie Girl as a rescue when she was about 8 months old. She is hi energy and needed lots of training - we have done lots of obedience training under Shar's guidance and encouragement - Georgie is a smart girl and has learned lots. Next on the list is Agility.

Best dog training facility i have come across for our large breed puppy. Knowledgeable and friendly staff who love dogs. The trainers are more than willing to answer any dog related questions during your session as long as your getting your task for the day accomplished. more good things to say but i think you get the gist. I will be going back for more lessons for sure. More...

We adopted our Red Heeler, Kamber from a rescue agency when she was about 1 year old. We were quite experienced dog owners who felt prepared to adopt. The only stipulation we had was that Kamber was able to be social with other dogs and the adopting agency assured us this was the case. Poor Kamber was quite far from that. It took us about a week to realize we were in over our heads and it took another few weeks to find Waggles. With dedicated support, coaching and training through Waggles, Kamber has become a completely different dog. We have used all of Waggles services: classes, dog walking, private instructions and wag n play. We learned techniques and skills to allow Kamber to be the best dog she can be. It took time and patience, Kamber was a very reactive dog. We have always said that if it were not for the support and guidance of Waggles, we never would have been able to keep Kamber. Waggles has excellent programs (and training facility) for any of your dogs needs - puppies, reactive dogs, shy dogs, over excited dogs and run of the mill dogs! If your dog has any type of behavior issues, Waggles is the place to seek the training, coaching and support you will need to modify that. Are you a busy family with an over excited dog? A dog that is chewing, digging, destroying things? Get Waggles into your home to walk your dog a few times a week and you'll see a world of change in your dogs behavior. WAGGLES is second to none. Call them, you won't regret it. More...
