Outstanding communication from my initial research inquiry, to our final talk at Mako’s homecoming with Bill. Awesome progress reports and videos giving us the confidence and tools to make our land shark into a great family member. Thank you Bill, and Wag Mates. G. & D. DeJarlais.

David was an amazing trainer and guide for our little one year old puppy. She learned alto understand many commands, and most importantly, we all learned how to ensure she has no more indoor bathroom accidents. She had a great time, and we could share in the learning through multiple daily videos and photos. What a new path forward with our Frenchie, and what a great training program with David and Wag Mates!

Amy trained my 11 month old puppy. She had a previous owner that was unkind to her, so she was shy around strangers and scared of some household things. She was also an unruly puppy in general who had little to no previous training. Amy helped get her started on basic obedience and leash manners. She also got her potty trained and dramatically reduced her destructive chewing. She is now much more comfortable around strangers, has better impulse control, and is a lot more attentive to her owners. I live a somewhat busy life and I’m very pleased with the help I received getting my dog off to a great start. Thank you!

Dave Talbot our trainer, was absolutely amazing! What he accomplished with our dog "Nugget" (3.5 year old American Bully) over just six weeks was stunning. The progress far exceeded my expectations. Being able to see Nugget through multiple videos a day, including drone video, was beneficial so I could learn alongside him virtually --I can't imagine going through this process without it. I was also comforted by the fact that I could observe all of the love and attention, as well as training, that Dave was providing every day. I couldn't be more grateful! DON'T HESITATE -- GO FOR IT -- YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY YOU DID! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAVE TALBOT 100%

Jason with Wagmates lied from the beginning. We reached out for help with our dog that bit my 9 year old brother. Upon talking to Jason, he assured us he could stop this behavior. We were also guaranteed daily videos of our dog. Neither of those claims held up. Throughout the 2 week training we were only sent videos when asked multiple times. Jason did not seem to care. We were so excited to have Coach, our dog, come back and on the first day he bites my little brother, unprovoked, we were forced to bring him to the animal shelter. Wagmates will not offer any sort of refund. I get this is a business and a full refund is not expected. I hope we can come to a fair agreement on how to settle this.

Wag mates and David were phenomenal! David trained and loved my doberman as if he were his own pup. David updated me on a daily basis with photos and videos of my pups progression throughout his stay with him. Taught myself and my husband how to continue my pups training at home. Provided me with homework to study for when my pup came home and even spend as much time as we needed to go over everything my pup learned so we could continue his training. I can't say enough fabulous things about David! I highly recommend him as a trainer! Thank you again! The bond that David made with Cyrus and also with us is unbreakable! Cyrus loves you and trusts you as do we! 💚🐾🐾💜

My little guy went in for the 6 week training program to focus on recall/impulse control, leash walking and general socialization issues, he came back a much more obedient, calm and patient dog! It is amazing to see his transition and walking him is so much more enjoyable experience for both of us now that he knows what I want him to do and he’s not always pulling. Excellent job by Dave with constant feedback and videos on his progress and interactions with people/pets. Would highly recommend!

We had a terrific experience using Wag Mates to train our 6 month old puppy. During his 3- week stay with David, we were constantly updated and informed of his progress. David focused on everything we asked for help with and our puppy returned with a new set of skills for us to continue to work on. Our pup’s impulse control is night and day, he now sleeps soundly in his crate, and he hardly needs a leash walking. David spent over an hour with us at drop off making sure we understood how to keep working with our pup to ensure success. We would use this service and David again in a heartbeat.
