When we started our training with Frida we were apprehensive and worried that we would never have a confident and less reactive dog. Mike, Lyn and Ann have been wonderful, they have not only provided Frida with the training she needed but also improved our own confidence with the knowledge to continue this training. Thank you to all, it has been invaluable and fun.

We booked our Golden Retriever rescue Maggie in for her first training session to help with her recall and possessiveness of toys.

Mike, Lyn and Sarah were fantastic in making the session fun and enjoyable not only for Maggie but us too, she had a lovely time!

We came away feeling really relaxed and looking forward to more visits to Wagtail Walks and Training.


Maggie is now signed up for Hoopers group sessions!


Thank you!

Our Behavioural Philosophy: Real-Life Results Through Science


At Wagtail Walks and Training we believe that every "naughty" or "difficult" behaviour is simply a pet’s way of communicating a struggle. We don’t just train dogs and cats to follow commands; we use behavioural neuroscience to reshape how they perceive the world.


Beyond Obedience: Concept-Based Training


Most traditional training focuses on symptoms (like barking or pulling). Our approach focuses on the concepts—the underlying mental "muscles" your pet needs to thrive.

By playing targeted, 3-minute games, we build real-life skills such as:

  • Disengagement: The ability to look away from a distraction (like a squirrel or another dog).
  • Calmness: Transitioning from "hyper" to "relaxed" as a default state.
  • Optimism: Helping anxious pets view new experiences as positive rather than scary.
  • Tolerance of Frustration: Teaching patience when things don't go their way.

The Method: A 4-Step Transformation


We understand that your "pet-owning dream" might feel out of reach right now.

Our evidence-based process is designed to bridge that gap.
