Dog Training and Coaching solutions in the comfort of your home!
All services require an initial assessment from which a proposed coaching and education plan is developed.
The initial assessment will consist of an assessment of your dog, their health, lifestyle, likes and dislikes, daily routines, behavior, relationship with the guardian and other household or family members and the environment they live in.
Based on the assessment a proposed coaching and education plan will be developed.
Based on the initial assessment, in these sessions we will work on the specific areas of attention to help your dog thrive.
The session takes place in the comfort of your home or a suitable outdoor space. A session takes about 60 minutes.
After the session you will receive a write-up of the session with an overview of all the items we discussed, video material and items to work on.
An initial assessment is required prior to the dog coaching session.

"We were so excited to rescue a shelter dog but we knew we could have some issues on our hands. One just never knows what to expect.
We wanted to give our Lily every opportunity we could, she was timid and a worried little 1year old.
I turned to Noortje
Noortje spent time assessing our Lily, from that first meeting a plan was put into place for both Lily and I .
So many valuable tips for walking Lily , leash training , avoiding confrontations with other dogs etc.
Lily’s confidence grew after each session.
I never knew how much went into ensuring your dog feels safe and adjusted to it’s new home.
If you want to give you and your dog every possible opportunity for for a cohesive relationship, don’t hesitate to contact Wag Wise!
Lily is thriving !"
"I could actually write a book about the behavior changes and successes with Bella.
I have enjoyed every-part of the program – every session seems to have targeted the needs of Bella and me.
I am loving all the comments from friends, coworkers and the Vet about Bella.
They are noticing immediately that she is much more calm and more confident.
Your training has been extremely helpful with us!"
"We had a great experience working with Noortje at Wag Wise! She was very knowledgeable, patient and kind when working with our pup and our family. She taught us a lot of great games that we were able to build on during each session. Noortje taught us some calming activities for our very active pup and some really great techniques to work towards stress free walks for our pup. She was always available if we had any questions between sessions. We learned a lot and now have a lot of great tools that we can continue to use. I would highly recommend working with Noortje and I think our pup Tilley would agree, as she was always very excited to see Noortje!"
" Diesel has been smart, curious, energetic, determined, athletic, and utterly stubborn since the day he arrived at our house as an 8-week old pup. After 16-months of training and getting used to one another, we realized that Diesel was far too smart and driven to go any longer without some sort of formal training. Noortje is PASSIONATE about dogs, and her coaching approach is unique and effective. The focus was always on teaching the human how to understand the dog’s body language, reactions to stimuli, natural and learned behaviors, and basic needs. Noortje designed the training program to be progressive for both my son and Diesel, and the training was normally performed on public trail systems, or in our yard. I’ve gone from being a dog “grandparent” who constantly worried about Diesel’s behavior and people’s safety, to being quite confident taking him in the car, to town, for walks in the neighborhood, or trail running on public trails. He is still a high-energy, work-driven, young dog, but has really grown into be a pleasure to have around. Noortje helped us learn so much about Diesel’s needs and the signs he gives us when he is feeling happy versus stressed. "
" The 7 day challenge was perfectly paced with achievable objectives - It became a fun daily exercise and took us out of our usual routine." Kohl and Heather
"Noortje is open and friendly in her videos. It is evident that she knows what she's talking about. My favorite part of the challenge was more insight into a dog's thought process and their needs and, perhaps, even ways to meet those needs -- my dog and I need more practice on that!"
Dobbs and Sue
My favorite part of this challenge was how Noortje discussed how dogs need to be given a choice. I mean, Finnegan's life is spoiled rotten, but I never thought about asking him which direction he wanted to walk, or which treat he would prefer (he chose the bully stick over the tarter buster this morning)!
