BOARD & TRAIN
WHY US
Board & Train programs have traditionally used tools like ecollars, prong collars, choke chains and slip leads to teach compliance. We don't. Our programs teach dogs to coexist happily - they choose to do what we ask because they want to, not because they have to "or else." Humans predict great things, not fear or pain, when working with Wiggle Butt Academy. We commit to providing the highest quality learning without the nasty side effects of force.

SPECIALTY B&T
WE ALL HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DOG IS STRUGGLING,
CHOOSE KINDNESS
FAMILY PAWS A certified Family Paws Parent Educator (FPPE) helps families with dogs & infants or toddlers live safely and with harmony. DOG | HUMAN AGGRESSION We approach all cases with kindness, including aggression. Because most aggression is rooted in fear, our kind approach gets to the source of the problem. No band-aids here, we help your dog feel better about what's scary. When your dog feels better, aggressive behavior is no longer needed to tell the scary thing to go away.
RESOURCE GUARDING Does your dog protect things from humans or other dogs? We can help.
DOG | DOG AGGRESSION
We help families struggling with dogs who don't get along.

WE ARE
We take education seriously - not just for your dog, but for our team. Nicole founded WBA after dedicating years to an education worthy of your pet.
