Dog Training in Ardmore PA
Wagsworth Manor has proudly offered trusted dog training in Ardmore PA since 2007. Our experienced trainers work with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds through programs like:
Board-n-Trains and Camp-n-Trains:
These flexible options allow dogs to receive dedicated one-on-one training while in our care. From basic cues like sit and stay to behavioral fixes like jumping or barking, we tailor each session to your dog’s needs.
Enrichment Sessions:
Add mental stimulation and structure to your dog’s day through activities like agility, nose work, puzzles, and training games designed to keep their mind engaged.
Puppy Preschool:
Our puppy training program is ideal for early development. We’ll cover potty training, crate training, early socialization, basic commands, and how to manage puppy behaviors like chewing or mouthing.
Private Lessons:
Work closely with one of our trainers in a distraction-free setting. These sessions are perfect for addressing reactivity, refining obedience, or developing custom behavior strategies.
Group Dog Training Classes
Our group classes are friendly, fun, and educational—for both dogs and their owners:
S.T.A.R. Puppy Class
Perfect for pups who are 10 weeks to 7 months old, this early training and socialization program for puppies and their parents helps to establish some good habits and healthy relationships right out of the gate. In this 6-week class, we will help cultivate basic manners and help your puppy achieve an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification and ribbon upon graduation. We will also address how to handle some of those more common puppy behaviors such as crate training, proper greetings, and mouthing.
Good Manners I
Perfect for dogs over 6 months old who have already graduated puppy preschool or an equivalent course. This group training class will help lay the foundation for a well-mannered dog, and includes all the basic cues needed to make your dog the talk of the town! We will cover the basic cues (sit, down, stay), while also working on refining behaviors from both verbal and hand cues/gestures. We will also cover recall, walking on a leash, jumping, “leave it”, “drop it”, and an introduction to “settle”.
Good Manners II
Perfect for dogs over 6 months old who have already completed Good Manners I or an equivalent course. This group training class is a great continuation of training for a more reliable and focused dog. This series includes the basic cues, recall, walking nicely on a leash, walking through a crowd, passing other dogs, handling, jumping, calm even with distraction, and a 3 minute separation training with supervision.
Intro to Agility
Perfect for dogs over 1 year old who have already completed Good Manners I or an equivalent course. Agility isn’t just about your dog learning how to navigate obstacles, it’s also about refining communication and teaching your dog that paying attention to you is the real gateway to fun! As part of this series your dog will learn training skills such as hand and object targeting, shaping, back chaining, body cues, refining basic behaviors, body awareness, obstacle skills, and more.
Intro to Scent Work
Unleash your dog's sense of adventure with our Scent Work Class that takes you step by step to birch detection! Our comprehensive program is designed to nurture your dog's innate scenting abilities, starting from the basics and working all the way up to birch detection. Our experienced trainers will guide you and your furry friend through each stage, building confidence and skill along the way. Whether you're planning to compete or simply want to engage your dog's senses, our class is perfect for all levels. Join us on this exciting journey and watch your dog's abilities blossom as they master the art of scent detection. As part of this series your dog will work towards building your dogs desire to hunt for a scent, prompting your dog to search for a treat or an essential oil scent, and show your dog how you would like them to indicate the presence of the treat or scent, whether that be a bark, a sit, eye contact, placing their paw on top of the item, or another action. Enroll today and take the first step towards unraveling your dog's incredible sense of smell!
