A List of Approved Trainers
Training Session with Peggy Modjeski in the Middle of the Photo
Therapy dogs must be on their very best behavior while visiting those in need. Training our dogs and maintaining their training can seem like a daunting task but have no fear! Louisville is fortunate to have a wonderful network of positive-reinforcement, relationship-based trainers who are available to support you and your dog. Many of our trainers have a strong background in therapy work and a few are even WAGS members themselves! WAGS confidently recommends these trainers and their classes to our members who are looking for positive, professional support for themselves and their dogs.
