About Wagwise Training
Four years of transforming Miami's dogs through positive reinforcement
Our Journey in Miami
Since 2025, Wagwise Training has been Miami's trusted partner in creating harmonious relationships between dogs and their families. What started as a passion for helping dogs has grown into a thriving practice serving families across Miami-Dade County.
We believe every dog deserves patient, compassionate training that respects their individual personality and learning style. Our evidence-based methods draw from the latest research in animal behavior and positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring effective and humane training that lasts.
Operating by appointment only allows us to provide personalized attention to each client, whether we're working with a new puppy in Coconut Grove, helping a rescue dog adjust in Aventura, or training a service dog in Kendall. This flexibility means we can work around your schedule and in environments where your dog feels comfortable.
Our Training Approach
A systematic process tailored to every dog's unique needs
-
Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your dog's behavior, temperament, and learning style. This initial consultation helps us understand your goals and any challenges you're facing.
-
Customized Plan
Based on the assessment, we create a personalized training plan that aligns with your lifestyle and objectives. Every plan is unique, addressing specific behaviors while building overall confidence.
-
Training Sessions
Hands-on sessions use positive reinforcement to teach new behaviors and modify unwanted ones. We work at your dog's pace, ensuring they feel safe and engaged throughout the learning process.
-
Progress Tracking
Regular assessments measure improvement and allow us to adjust techniques as needed. We celebrate victories and address challenges proactively to maintain momentum.
-
Maintenance Support
Training doesn't end when sessions conclude. We provide ongoing guidance to ensure lasting results, helping you maintain and build upon your dog's new skills.
Our Training Philosophy
Humane Methods Only
We exclusively use positive reinforcement techniques that build trust and confidence. No shock collars, prong collars, or intimidation tactics — just science-based methods that respect your dog's wellbeing.
Evidence-Based Practice
Our techniques are grounded in the latest research from animal behavior science. We stay current with developments in canine cognition and learning theory to provide the most effective training possible.
Positive Reinforcement
Rewarding desired behaviors creates eager, confident learners. Dogs trained with positive methods show better retention, stronger bonds with their humans, and genuine enthusiasm for training.
Individual Focus
Every dog is unique, with their own personality, fears, and motivations. We adapt our approach to match each dog's individual needs rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.
Industry Standards We Align With
Committed to professional excellence and continuous education
CPDT-KA Standards
We align our practices with the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers' standards for knowledge and skills in science-based dog training methods.
IAABC Guidelines
Following the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants' ethical guidelines ensures our methods prioritize animal welfare and least intrusive interventions.
Force-Free Commitment
We're dedicated to force-free training methods that enhance the human-animal bond without causing fear, pain, or intimidation.
Serving Miami By Appointment
