Frequently asked questions
Common questions about training at Wags Pet Academy. If you do not see yours here, ask us at your free meet & greet or call (503) 928-7777.
What is the first step?
Start with a free meet & greet at our Canyon Road training facility. There is no commitment. We will discuss your dog and program fit, then provide exact pricing after the meet & greet.
Will you be harsh with my dog?
No. We use reward-based methods only, and we teach you alongside your dog rather than working behind closed doors. The facility is camera monitored, and the free meet & greet happens with you and your dog together, so you can see exactly how we work before deciding anything.
Which training program is right for my dog?
Every dog and household is different. The free meet & greet gives us a chance to learn what you need and talk through the available options.
How much does training cost?
We discuss program fit at your free meet & greet and provide exact training pricing afterward, before you commit to anything. The meet & greet is free, with no obligation afterwards.
Where is Wags Pet Academy?
We are at 8635 SW Canyon Road in Portland. In-home Private Training also takes place at the client's home.
Do you offer daycare or overnight boarding?
