 •The Wag Dogma•  Generating a good family dog takes a village of people (and other dogs)! You're not alone in bringing up a great dog -- we're here to help. Wag the Dog trainers -- Christine & Toni -- as well as the Wag staff are always happy to speak with you regarding your dog's play habits and general attitudes. In addition, after getting to know your dog at daycare, we can help you trouble-shoot problem behaviors at home, offer training assistance, or offer in-home behavioral consultations.  Wag the Dog's philosophy is based in the sciences of animal behavior (ethology), physiology, neuropsychology, and positive learning theory. These theories provide us with the tools to direct your dog to proper play patterns in a positive environment. Importantly, we recognize moderate, prolonged exercise(at least several hours at a time) like that provided at daycare can have a therapeutic influence on dogs' physiology. It releases endorphins, serotonin, and other chemicals in the brain that make your dog happier and better able to cope with stress. Exercise also promotes a calm, relaxed feeling that can actually help reduce some stress-related behavioral problems, such as anxiety. Call 503.238.0737 for information or reservations!
