We have an eight month old Rottweiler named Harley, and she's a stubborn girl. She likes to push…read morethe boundries of obedience. She will try to get away with anything she can. As a result of this I didn't have high expectations when sending her for the 2 week obedience off leash training. We met Tara while she was training a five month old German Shepherd at Topsail Island and we're very impressed with how well the dog was trained. I thought if Harley could only be half that good it would be amazing. Terra took Harley for two weeks and I knew she'd have her work cut out for her. She was definitely up to the challenge. We picked up Harley after the 2-week training and were blown away with how well trained she was. Don't get me wrong she's still very stubborn and it's going to still require continued work for the training to become part of Harleys normal routine given that she still so stubborn. I mean let's be realistic nobody's going to take your dog for two weeks and give it back to you perfectly obedient pet. But what Tara was able to do with Harley is astounding. To watch our 10 year old son have control over a 80lb Rottweiler puppy that used to jump on him and knock him down was amazing. To see her sit, stay, heel, lay down on command is the Wow factor we were hoping for. Thanks Tara for an amazing job! We will keep building on the foundation you have laid with Harley! Thanks to you she is now a great pet!

We could not be more pleased with the time spent with Jan and the behaviors our dog Ted has…read moredisplayed since training. Each hour together provided an opportunity to help us understand how to be good masters and to teach Ted some new behaviors (and tricks). Our main goal was to increase our confidence in control of Ted while off leash (hence the name of the company) and to eliminate nuisance barking when people walk by our home. Since our lessons concluded we are able to relax in peace when people walk by (no excessive barking and no worry Ted will approach people to say "hello" as they walk by). If you want a more positive experience in pet ownership, give Jan a call and look forward to your "new" dog!

What I wanted was photos of Sammy and I together. As soon as I saw Cathy's photos on the web site (Cathy is Wiggle Butts owner) it was clear that she had the ability to capture great images as well as the emotions that connect us with our beloved pets. We did a photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. Mother Nature provided a nice morning fog over the lake at our shoot location. I am thrilled with the results and especially happy with the attention Cathy pays to every detail. The online client review and ordering process was easy to follow and turn-around time was very fast (2 days for prints). I highly recommend Wiggle Butts to anyone wishing to capture special images and memories - both of and with their pets.
