Customer Reviews
I reached out to Wiggle Butt Academy for help with one of my dogs showing aggressive behavior. I’ve started working with Nicole, the owner, and even after just a few sessions, I’ve already seen encouraging progress. While we still have work ahead, I feel hopeful. Nicole uses a kind, positive reinforcement approach. No e-collars, and took the time to understand my goals and tailor the training accordingly. She’s knowledgeable and clearly passionate about helping pets succeed. - Plano, TX - October 2025
- Kristi NWe’re just getting started with Wiggle Butt Academy and already our experience is great. We are paired with trainer Mads, who is extremely knowledgeable and great with our Frenchies. In just the first orientation they recognized behaviors and got us started on managing environment, exercises, homework, new tools and also posted some very interesting educational material related to our behavior challenges. What we’ve learned is already paying off! Wiggle Butt has a multidimensional approach for training and a virtual classroom to communicate and document homework, educational resources, etc. I love this approach. All their trainers are highly credentialed. I’ll post an update as we get through training! - Plano, TX - September 2025
