About Wag the Dog and Company – Dog Training

Behavior consulting in Milwaukee

Wag the Dog and Company is a Milwaukee behavior consulting and training business founded by Jennifer Pratt. It works with families whose dogs show anxiety, fear, aggression or phobias, and serves clients in person in the Milwaukee metro area and online anywhere.

Private training

Work starts with an online behavior consultation, then continues online, in the home or at a vet clinic. The site lists fear or aggression toward people, dog-dog aggression, resource guarding, handling sensitivity for grooming and vet visits, and general fear of sounds or objects. It notes that in-person spots for new clients are currently very limited.

Separation anxiety

A separation anxiety program uses a systematic desensitization plan that is updated from the owner's daily log, with weekly live video check-ins.

Method and credentials

The site lists CTC, CDBC, CSAT and CSAP-BC credentials and Fear Free certification, and says it uses humane, science-based methods with no choke, pinch or electronic collars.

What to ask

Ask whether in-person sessions are open in your part of the metro and how long behavior cases usually take. Contact is by email.
