Mike is amazing, he helped my parents with a newly adopted dog. She was a bit rough in her play and didn’t fully understand how to settle down after play. He was able to teach my parents how to better handle her, how to let her know who was truly in charge and get her to better understand boundaries. Due to Mike’s knowledge and patience , my parents now have a better relationship with their new pup! Cannot thank Mike enough!

We've been working with Mike on some reactivity issues and recall for our pittie mix Piper. Mike is incredibly intuitive with her and she has taken to him really well, which is unusual in itself as she is a rescue and very wary of new people. After three sessions we've started to see results on the reactivity. We couldn't be more pleased and plan to use Wagging Rights and Mike again.

We are absolutely thrilled with the incredible progress our Cavapoo puppy, Piper, has made since working with Tim Rains from Wagging Rights Dog Training. Hiring Tim was the best decision we could have made for our furry family member, and we wholeheartedly give him a 5-star recommendation. When we first brought Piper home, she was a bundle of joy, but as she grew, we started to see some challenging behaviors emerge, most notably resource guarding. It became a stressful situation for our family, as we were unsure how to handle her possessiveness over toys and food. From our very first session with Tim, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional. His knowledge of dog behavior is extensive, and he was able to quickly assess Piper's needs and our handling of the situation. Tim's approach is not just about training the dog; he empowers the owners with the knowledge and confidence to manage and continue the training effectively. He equipped us with practical, easy-to-implement strategies to address Piper's resource guarding. We were amazed at how quickly we saw a change in her behavior. Now, we are able to manage these situations calmly and effectively, and the tension around her valued items has disappeared. Beyond his expertise in resource guarding, Tim's knowledge spans a wide array of training areas. He is well-versed in everything from basic puppy obedience and potty training to more complex issues like leash reactivity, fear, and anxiety. His methods are effective and built on a foundation of clear communication and positive reinforcement. If you are looking for a dog trainer who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, and genuinely invested in the success of your dog and your family, we cannot recommend Tim Rains enough. He has transformed our experience as puppy owners and has given us the tools to build a wonderful, lifelong bond with Piper. Thank you, Tim, for your invaluable guidance!

Tim did a fantastic job with our young golden, Allen! He taught us several different training methods to help calm him both on and off the leash. Along with that, he brought us out to different locations so our new puppy could learn to adjust in many environments. Tim is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to improving dogs areas of weakness, couldn’t recommend him more!

I would highly recommend choosing Tim for your dog training needs. Tim has trained my first dog rough collie and now my newest puppy a Doberman pincher. I love the fact that Tim takes his time explaining things and sharing the why behind certain behaviors. Have seen great results!

I did 10 sessions with Tim and each one we learned something new and ended up being greatly beneficial for both me and my dog. Highly recommend.

This company has 💯 saved our dog. Their knowledge on blended training is phenomenal! My dog has completely changed to a well behaved boy. He is almost 5 and he is doing great. I would highly recommend!!!

Tim is an outstanding dog trainer! From the very first session, we saw immediate results and knew we had to book the full package—and we’re so glad we did. Tim has a system that works. His deep knowledge of dog behavior, especially for us in addressing resource guarding, has been invaluable. We have three female dogs and Tim helped us understand their cues and navigate their behaviors with confidence. Not only are our dogs much better behaved, but we also feel more in control and at ease. Beyond his expertise, Tim genuinely listens, cares about his clients' concerns, and tailors his approach to each situation. We can’t recommend him enough! Thanks to Tim, we’ve not only gained a trusted trainer but also a friend—and we truly feel like we’ve gotten our lives back.

Tim is such a great trainer! He is very knowledgeable with years of experience. We have a 90 pound exciteable pitbull and Tim gave us helpful calming strategies. We even took a couple "field trips" to stores to practice leash training with lots of distractions. Would definitely recommend!

Tim Rains has been a huge help with training our Bernese Mountain Dog, Bear. Tim has helped with obedience training as well as helping with socializing Bear and building confidence. Tim is very informative and knowledgeable, you can tell he really enjoys working with the dogs and their owners. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog trainer.
