Our Fall Semester at Wag U is coming to a close, if you didn’t get in with the last round of classes, don’t bark about it. We’re rolling out another round of courses starting in just a few weeks.
Here at Wag Central we set pups of all ages up to succeed!
When playmates and learning mates are of similar stature, instructors and owners can best tackle all things puppy. Using our carefully structured Wag Central model with lots of flavor from the Wag Personality Profile, as well as keeping classes small with a positive swing, our instructors can engage both pups and their owners to begin living life together, hand in paw.
- All first classes are held WITHOUT the pup in attendance.
- Email vaccination records to wagfrontdesk@gmail.com.
- Personality profiles can be handled within the class.
- All classes must be paid in full prior to attending.
- Missed classes can be made up with with notice.
- No refunds after the first class.
- If classes are cancelled due to inclement weather, they will be rescheduled for the following week.
- We will not be holding classes the week of Thanksgiving (11/20 – 11/26)
