Wag Time Dog Training

My experience with Don helping me with my 10 year old miniature Cockapoo and newly rescued 2 year old Havenese has been excellent! The two pups got along great but the new one was very nervous on walks and barked and chased anything which caused my little one to want to do the same. Walks became a choir and no fun.
Don came in and immediately got them under control, but Lulu (Havenese) was stubborn. Don made the suggestions that helped me become a better leader for my girls and now the walks are like night and day. Now I enjoy the walks instead of dreading it. These pups are just as much of a joy outside as they are inside. Don did a great job not only training the dogs, but teaching me how to keep the trading going.
Thank you so much Don for all the help and showing my girls so such love and support as well.

Me wife, three dogs and I just met Don yesterday. Within minutes Don had control of our two German shepherds and 12 y/​o Boston terrier. Don puts both dogs and owners at ease and without the use of prong collars and/​or shock «e» collars. After just the introduction I can now walk my German shepherds without constant pulling, it was like walking a different dog. We plan to start Don’s program within the week and in fact cancelled all the other consultations after meeting him. I will update our progress!

Where to begin… The first lesson was so impressive we knew we had found the right trainer. Don worked great with us and our little Watson. He’s easy to communicate with, flexible and very helpful. You’ll be glad you made the investment. Hire Don. Just do it. You’ll be glad you did.

Our pit/​lab pulled like a tractor when leashed for a walk and would take us for a walk. We called Wag Time and within minutes Don showed us how to work with and walk our dog. It was amazing how fast Don was able to transform our dog walks from an arduous task to a pleasant activity. Later, we decided to add another pit mix to our family but were unsure if it was possible because our dog was aggressive to all others. We called Don and he worked with us on how to introduce the dogs. We followed Don’s regimen and three days later the dogs are inseparable. Don is a natural with dogs and will teach you how to make you and your pet a better combination. Highly recommended. D & B, Granite Bay

He came to our home for a intro. He was so helpful he wasn’t pushy to make a sale, he has a genuine passion for dogs and helping people. He made us feel very calm about the training process. i gave only 5 starts only because I can’t give any more !

My wife has already posted how good Don is with our little Peanut, but I just wanted to add that I think it is above and beyond the call of duty, that he follows up with us to make sure all is well, and says to call him any time if we have an issue. Exceptional caring!

I worked with Don for a year opting for beginner and advanced training of our Aussie-​Doodle, and we saw immediate improvement in our puppy’s behavior from the very first session. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our experience with Don has been. Don is an advocate for and trains utilizing positive reinforcement methods. Don is down-​to-​earth, extremely professional, and has a kind and gentle disposition with my baby puppy. We opted for Don’s extended package because of the unique traits of our breed and it has been an awesome and wonderful experience. I highly recommend Don, he clearly loves what he does and is the best in his profession!

Don went out of his way to offer his services to my family before we moved abroad. He was very good with our 4 month old mini Aussie and you can tell that he genuinely loves dogs and wants to help them/​us. It was very easy to make appointments and its very nice that he comes right to your house! Our pup does very well walking now!

Roxy is a 8.5 year old Pom-​Chi mix. You would think that after all that time of her being the only child, she would be set in her ways… but Don proved us wrong! We can now successfully take her for (ENJOYABLE) walks on the leash with the stroller, her sit, stay and heel commands are almost spot on, and she’s overall become a much better member of our family. Don is incredibly patient, kind, and loves what he does. He came to our home for a handful of the sessions while we worked on some basics, and then we ventured to the park where she learned to listen even with distractions, and other dogs (10 times her size-​no exaggeration)!
I highly recommend Don and Wagtime training. He communicated and confirmed appointments, was professional, and has become a friend of our little family. He gave me my dog back, and an even better version! It’s Don’s hard work with our family that made it possible for us to keep Roxy as a part of our family. Try him out — you’ll be convinced after your first appointment, you’ll see what he can do, and stick it out through the lessons, you’ll be glad you did.

Don is a great trainer! I called him when my puppy was 4 months old because I knew I didn’t want to have to break any bad habits I may create! Don is patient and kind with my little Olive. And she loves him to see him. She is picking up the commands quickly and the best part is that it is all done without using treats!
So glad I found him!

I absolutely give Don a 5 star — his training is so good and we have definitely seen a change in Sophia — we saw it after the 1^st training and it only gets better. I am also learning more about her — I didn’t realize that she is the dominant one! So if a dog tries to display dominance — there is a hassle — this is so important when I am around other dogs with her.

We just signed up and I love that Don comes to the house so the whole family learns AND it is not treat or clicker motivated. The verbal commands make so much more sense and we have already seen an improvement with our dog.

Wag Time Dog Training provides excellent dog training services in the Sacramento and Roseville areas. Don is a great dog trainer and is someone you can trust and rely on to teach you and your dog how to work together. He makes it fun and enjoyable.

Don at Wag Time Dog Training did an excellent job with my dog. We were having problems with Murphy being aggressive with other dogs and barking. After a few sessions with Don, we are seeing some great changes. My wife and I are having a much easier time with him and are actually enjoying taking him for walks around the neighborhood. If you are having problems with your dog, I would recommend giving Don a call.
