Good Dog Training for a Better Life Together
At Walks and Wags, our approach to good dog training isn’t about control—it’s about connection. We make training simple, effective, and confidence-building for both you and your dog. Whether you’re working through problem behaviors or starting from scratch, we meet you where you are and grow from there.
There’s no greater investment in your dog’s lifelong success than compassionate, behavior-informed training.
The result? Less stress, more confidence, and a dog you truly enjoy spending time with.
Customized Training that fits
your life and your dog’s needs
From foundational manners to more advanced behavior work, we offer a range of programs—including private sessions, dog training & boarding, and targeted levels-based group classes.
Every training plan is customized based on your dog’s age, energy, history, and temperament. We know that even so-called easy to train dogs need guidance and patience. We’re here for nervous pups, high-energy teens, seniors relearning boundaries, and every dog in between.
Play, Learn, Grow—Together
Our dog training programs go beyond sit-and-stay drills. We use positive reinforcement and structured training games so your dog not only learns—they retain it. You’ll be involved every step of the way with tips, tools, and take-home strategies designed to strengthen your connection. Because training isn’t just about behavior—it’s the best investment you can make for your dog. It changes your life together for the better and allows you to communicate in a loving, clear, and confident way instead of feeling stressed or frustrated. We’re here to help you build mutual trust, shared wins, and a lifelong partnership.
Looking for a deeper path? Many families use our private sessions as a reliable foundation for dogs entering specialized roles.

Our Classes
Family Levels Dog Training Classes
Family Levels Dog Training Classes
Walks and Wags, Inc. offers the most flexible dog training classes available, known as “Levels Training.” With the levels program, you enroll for a block of months and can attend as many of our drop-in classes as desired. This allows you to get as much or as little training as you want or need based on your own expectations for your dog and your schedule. All dogs start at Level 1, and you can move through the four levels at your own pace. You can even go back to a level when necessary to review or reinforce the training. The choice is yours.
Basic Puppy Training & Socialization
Basic Puppy Training & Socialization
Walks and Wags, Inc. is committed to helping families give their puppies the skills they’ll need to grow up happy, confident, and well-behaved. Early socialization, properly done, can have a profound effect on your puppy’s adult behavior. The puppies in this class are from 8 to 16 weeks old.
Reward-Based Methods
Reward-Based Methods
We’ll be using reward-based training methods so that your puppy has a positive experience with other pups in class. (With young puppies, it’s imperative not to use any devices or corrections that might scare him/her and create an unpleasant association with other dogs or training in general.)
Relaxing Rowdy Rover
Relaxing Rowdy Rover
This class specializes in helping anxious dogs. Our goal is to provide you and your dog with the skills to eventually join a Level 1 training class.
Calming Cautious Canine
Calming Cautious Canine
Learn the skills you need to help your shy dog develop confidence and feel secure in new situations. Our Calming Canines class is included in our Levels Program. Our Cautious Canines often spend a little longer in Level 1 to get acclimated to the class environment. As your dog begins to relax and learn coping skills, they can then proceed through the different levels.
