We have a very big, very friendly, very happy, very naughty golden doodle puppy. She is almost a year old. Although we have always had a dog, we were having a time training Georgie. Dan form Wagtime to the rescue! In just 3 lessons (training us) there has been a remarkable difference. We're very happy with our lessons and look forward to the next one.

Don has been great at teaching my family how to train our puppy and giving us suggestions on what to do next. He has been great at working around our schedule and explaining how our puppy learns and how we can help Juno learn to want to do what we want him to do without punishments or treats (which I didn't think would work until I saw it work).

If you are contemplating hiring a trainer, call Don. You won't be sorry!

I'm abosoulty happy with the way Don Kirkish works, he showed up to my house for an introductory session for only $50, showed up on time, was very friendly & easy going. He immediately receives my dog with open arms & instantly started working with him. To my surprise my dog Major caught on very quickly & right away listening pretty well! What i have been trying to teach Major in months, Don came & taught him in minutes! Major was very happy with Dons services as well! If my dog is happy. Im estatic! My favorite thing about Dons work is that he uses pure love & commands to train. Without treats! That way dog always responds. It was truely a blessing to find him.. My family & Major look forward to continue working with him! If your looking for a trainer for your dog & come across Don. Don't hesitate, give him a call!! You will NOT be sorry.. I MEAN IT!!

Don is attentive, he listens to our concerns and what we would like to accomplish in the training. Our dog (large German Shepard) warmed up right away to Don, we have established a great working relationship.
