Wag Time Dog Training - Don Kirkish

Don has been amazing to work with. We have two dogs a 4 year old French bull dog and a 2 year old Boston / French mix. Both dogs have been through basic petco training and know sits and stays only when treats were used. After having a new baby in the house we needed someone who could help us learn methods to teach the dogs obedience and behavioral training for our everyday life.

Don was really informative and super professional as he tried to get our older family dog comfortable with our new golden retriever pup. He was giving us the best tips to assure our puppy would learn not to bite, respect boundaries, and potty training. It was quite a show as he got both dogs to learn to relax and co-exist. We now feel comfortable continuing this process as the dogs see each other more and more. Don was patient and describe his philosophy about training dogs as a way to communicate with them, not just tug and pull. I would recommend don's service to anyone looking for dog training help!

We called Don when we needed help after some fights with our newly blended dog family. He immediately helped us put tools in place to keep us all safe in our home while providing training that was logical and easy to follow and practice between sessions. He helped us to realize that our situation wasn’t hopeless, and with attention, focus and consistency, we can safely manage our brood with less stress. Our dogs have responded well to Don and his training methods, and we are grateful to Don for helping us when we desperately needed it.
