Waggin Tails Dog Grooming

Wag n Tails Studio offers comprehensive dog training programs based on a force-free, science-backed, and mindful approach, pioneered by Christine Fox. Their programs aim to strengthen the bond between dogs and owners by teaching mutual understanding and addressing common behavioral issues.

They also offer a free webinar on “Unlock Your Dog’s Mind: Teaching Your Dog the Mindful Way.”
