At Wagtails, we believe every dog learns best through kindness, patience, and consistency. Obedience should come from trust, not fear. Our qualified trainers use modern, reward-based techniques that make training enjoyable and effective for both you and your dog.

Whether you’re tackling recall, loose-lead walking, or confidence building, we’ll create a personalised plan that fits your dog’s age, breed, and personality. Our training will ensure your dog becomes a happy, well-mannered dog at home and outdoors.
