About Us
********

Glad Wags dog training is a program for lifelong learning that helps you facilitate a richer life with your dog. At Glad Wags, we think that having a dog should never be a burden, but instead an opportunity to discover the true potential of the animal-human bond in light of current applied animal behavior science.

Dogs learn from a mixture of enforcing boundaries on unwanted behaviors and rewarding desired behaviors, and our training uses both for a well-rounded approach.

We believe that all dogs have a desire to work and accomplish something with their lives, just as people do. This means that amazing things can be accomplished when you and your dog work as a team!
