We had a fantastic experience with Tim! He helped us better understand how to teach our very nervous, anxious and reactive puppy confidence and much better manners. We loved how he spent a lot of time educating us, explaining why we were doing certain things and really getting to know our dog. Highly, highly recommend, especially if you have a reactive or aggressive dog.
It was wonderful working with Tim through our dog training journey! We were struggling with our pup and aggression towards people/other dogs, and Tim was able to help us learn tactics to feel more comfortable and confident with him. From our dog barking and being aggressive to the first time meeting Tim to wagging his tail and walking comfortably with his two dogs through parks, was incredible to see. Would highly recommend!!
I couldn’t recommend Tim Rains enough!! I will never forget the first time we met, he said, it’s more so raising your dog than it is training and that will stick with me forever because it’s so true. Not only does he help training your dog, he helps training the owner as well and that is so important. Tim goes above and beyond to help you, your family and your dog be successful!!
Tim is a phenomenal dog trainer. We have a lab/german short haired pointer who is 4 years old. He helped me in so many aspects with our boy Boston, and I HIGHLY recommend leveraging Tim’s expertise. Very fair rates, responsive, professional and fun to work with!
I highly recommend Tim if you are looking for A well informed, patient, very effective dog trainer.
I could not recommend Tim enough!! We have three dogs and seemingly out of no where, two of them started being very aggressive with each other. Tim answered all of our questions, worked to identify what was setting our dogs off, and helped us to figure out what the best way to correct their behavior would be. He went above and behind to get answers to our questions and gave us hope that our dogs could coexist together again.
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!
