Emma works in business management, but in her spare time can usually be found outdoors either training her Sprocker Spaniels, or enjoying time in the countryside with her horse.

🐾 Originally Emma was a Wigglewags customer, working her way through the Pet Gun Dog levels with her spaniels. She loved it so much she went and became a qualified Dog Training Instructor and joined our team in the Summer 2023! 🙌

Here are some of our frequently asked questions which we hope you will find useful...

✔️ Are you fully insured?
Yes we are fully insured for dog training.

🌧 Do you cancel lessons if it's raining?
We will only cancel in extreme weather such as a thunderstorm. Your dog doesn’t care if it’s raining, just make sure you dress according to the weather.

🐶 Do I need to bring anything to class?
Yes you will need a short walking lead and a long line training lead. Please also bring smelly treats, water and a water bowl.

👧 Can I bring my children?
We fully encourage family learning however children must be supervised at all times and are the responsibility of their parents/carers.

🐾 What training methods do you use?
We only use force free, positive reinforcement in our training classes.

⭐ Will the classes help with my dogs obedience?
Yes they will, but only if you continue all the training learnt in classes at home in a consistent and persistent way. Attendance at classes alone will not reinforce the behaviour you want from your dog. There will be tasks set every week for you to practice at home and we view training as a lifelong commitment, whether formally or informally.

✔️ Is the trainer qualified?
Yes, all of our trainers are qualified. Wigglewags is also a member of the Guild of Dog Trainers, giving all our customers reassurance that we are regulated by a strict code of conduct and have the experience and knowledge required to train family dogs.

🐶 Do you provide socialisation classes?
Socialisation is part of all our training classes.

Please contact us if you have any other questions - [email protected] - or if you would like to start a course with us you can find more information and book online - www.wigglewags.net

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am the founder of Wigglewags.

I am a qualified Dog Training Instructor offering courses in basic and advanced obedience, fun agility and Pet Gun Dog training. I am also a qualified UK Sniffer Dog Instructor. I am fully accredited by the Guild of Dog Trainers. Dog training is my passion and I hope to make dog training available to all with judgement free, science-based, good value dog training.

My other ventures include working with Children's Fostering Agencies, supporting foster carers with dogs to safely care for Children in Care. I am also able to complete complex Dog Assessments for Fostering Agencies using the Corum BAAF template due to my duel qualifications as both a Dog Trainer and a Social Worker. This unique combination of skills means that reports can be presented from the child's and the potential carer's perspective, using the knowledge of dog behaviour and communication most social workers do not possess.

I’m often asked, why do we train our dogs outside where we’re at the mercy of the elements? Isn’t it harder to train a dog outside with all the distractions?

And the answer to this is yes, it is harder! However hear me out, the reason for it makes total sense.

Imagine, you start training your dog in a class in a village hall or other inside venue. Your dog is picking everything up quickly, is listening to you and is progressing well. However as soon as you take them out on a walk it’s like they’ve forgotten everything they’ve been taught, they are deaf to your calls and seems almost out of control. They have no recall out on walks, despite having perfect recall during their training classes, and people are beginning to moan at you. You start to worry about going out on walks with your dog as you feel they just don’t listen, despite making their way through the obedience awards at dog training.

The problem here is that an inside venue is an artificial environment. There’s limited noise, smells and distractions so of course your dog finds it easier to listen during training. However you are not teaching them how to overcome the natural distractions they will come across when out and about on walks.

Training your dog outside means that from day one you are training your dog to listen in the environment that they will need to listen. Our sole use, purpose built training field is in the countryside where there will be the smells of wildlife, the sound of nature (as well as the sounds of cars and farm vehicles), the space for your dogs to run and learn and to achieve.

Do we sometimes get wet?! Yes we do. Is it cold in the winter? No more than when you’re out walking your dog. My moto is that there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes! And although a village hall might seem tempting at times, both you and your dog will benefit so much more from the outdoor training environment in the long run.

Meet Bella, Michelle’s 12 year old Cavapoo 🐾

Bella is the ultimate lap dog. She has cuddled us and plodded along next to us for 12 years now and I must admit, she is my baby. Now pretty much completely deaf and wondering why puppy Tilly has so much energy, Bella prefers to sleep the days away on her favourite chair. Saying that though, if you show her the lead for walkies, or walk into the kitchen at dinner time, the old girl gets a brand new lease of life! 🐶

Meet Tilly, Michelle’s 18 month old Brittany 🐶

Tilly has been making her way through the many different Wigglewags courses, starting Foundation at 11 weeks old and is now proving to be pretty impressive on the UK Sniffer Dog scent detection classes. She is also doing well at agility, and is often used as a “guinea pig” when her mum is creating new games and exercises for her classes!

🐾 Brittany’s are working dogs so she keeps us on our toes, but we wouldn’t have it any differently. She’s added a bit of mania in our lives however will also curl up on my lap every evening for a cuddle.

Copper is Charlotte’s 11 year old chocolate Labrador 🐶

As a pup he grew up coming to work with his mum at the Veterinary Surgery. Now in his retirement you might occasionally see him hanging out at Wigglewags when his mum is working. He’s even completed our ‘fun agility’ and ‘sniffer training’, proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

He loves nothing more than doing ‘wormies’ anywhere he can, movie nights with popcorn, snoozing, and enjoying the big outdoors preferably with water involved…..muddy puddles, lakes, the sea, he’s even enjoyed paddling with his buddy ‘Nessie’ in Loch Ness 😉

🐶 Miley is Emma’s 3 year old Sprocker Spaniel and a typical crazy spaniel full of energy when out and about. At home however she loves to chill in her bed or on the sofa where she can also be on neighbourhood watch!

🐾 Miley has been through the Pet Gundog levels at Wigglewags and is retrieving obsessed! The classes have made a massive difference to her steadiness and self control in everyday life - something that can be very challenging for an active spaniel brain!
