Wishes and Wags

Our experience with Dawn could not have been better! She contacted me right away and spent a great deal of time on the phone with me, troubleshooting what could have caused our dog’s sudden refusal to go up the stairs. She recommended that I have a vet check him out before starting training, which I would not have thought to do. Once I called her with the all clear from the vet, she arranged to come to our home that weekend! She spent at least an hour with us, just getting to know our dog. She worked with him quite a bit at that first visit too, and gave us super helpful advice on how to work with him independently. She was so kind and used only positive reinforcement when working with him. He loved her! Flash forward and just three weeks later, using the techniques she taught us, the problem was completely solved. He’s going up and down the stairs without any hesitation, and more importantly, he is able to join us whenever we’re all upstairs. I can’t thank Dawn enough. Highly recommend!!

Positive, professional, excellent training ethics; every canine is trained based on individual traits and needs.

Working with Dawn has been an absoulte pleasure! She has been to our house twice in 2 weeks and we can already see a significant difference in our dogs behaviour! She is so full of knowledge and has tought us many tecniques that we never would have known or thought of on our own! I highly recommend wishes and wags to anyone looking for a tranier that will give you personalized training for your dog!

Dawn was a confident and positive person and had many really good ideas to help Brunzy with his severe separation anxiety. We had some communication issues but she's responded with care and concern. I'm sure the breakdown was on both our sides. Anyway, most of all, Dawn's optimistic and hopeful attitude about Brunzy did a lot to restore my confidence that his painful anxiety and panic will be responsive to continued positive behavioral training and, of course, lots of love. I think I gained a lot from our session and recommend her highly.

Dawn has a great understanding of dogs. So sweet with my labs. Showed up on time, stayed late, and has been in touch with me since our initial training to check on my dog. She sends tips and is really invested in how well my dogs do.
