Nervous pup? Private lessons can make all the difference! 💪🐾

Meet Roxy, a sweet 7-month-old Bernedoodle who came to WAGD a little shaken after being attacked by another dog. She wasn’t quite ready for the group class environment—but that didn’t mean her training journey had to pause.

✨ Enter WAGD Senior Trainer Adrian!
With just a couple of focused in-facility sessions and an in-home follow-up, Adrian helped Roxy (and her amazing humans) rebuild trust, confidence, and calm around other dogs.

Thanks to consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, Roxy is now not just okay around other pups—she’s curious and excited to meet them! 🐶💛

She’s heading into her next Class Readiness Evaluation with her tail high and a heart full of confidence—and we’re cheering her on every step of the way!
