At Wag n Tails, our mission is to strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners using education, community, and fun. With our Trainer Apprentice Program (TAP), we teach you our industry-leading, science-backed methods to dog training and care.
Pioneered by expert trainer and groomer, Christine Fox, the Wag n Tails system is based on the latest research and science of dog training. The goal is not force, but a stronger relationship between pets and their parents. In business since 1999, Wag n Tails has developed a proprietary method for Dog Training that is not only effective, but also prioritizes fun and mindfulness.
