Curriculum ranges from puppy basics to advanced competitive skills, with multi-week courses included in our Training for Life program. All instructors follow positive reinforcement methodologies developed through 20+ years' industry experience.
24/7 Care
Continuous staffing ensures emergency support and scheduled care at all times. Both facilities maintain veterinary partnerships for after-hours needs while providing regular potty breaks and health monitoring. This availability extends to late pickups, boarding supervision, and urgent training consultations throughout holidays and weekends.

My Bernese Mountain Dog has gone to Wags & Wiggles since he was a puppy. He is now 11 years old. The staff provide excellent daycare as well as overnight visit. I'm always greeted with a friendly smile. Thank you Wags for taking such good care of my pup.

We have nothing but great things to say about Wags and Wiggles. We love our puppy and trust the team there to take great care of him when he goes for daycare or boarding. All the team members seem to truly love animals and go out of the way to be friendly and helpful. Our puppy wags his tail every time we drop him off and sometimes attempts to get back in and play with friends when we pick him up. Dogs don't lie and he confirms that it's always a great day at Wags and Wiggles.

We love wags and wiggles The facilities are amazing with built in doggy day care cams so you can check in on your pup and their new friends when you're hundreds of miles away. We received daily report cards twice a day with updates on how our doggo was doing. We were nervous at first because our dog has a nervous temperament especially in new places with new people and dogs. When we brought her in for the meet and greet, she was very scared but when we picked her up two weeks later, she looked and acted like a totally new dog. Shoutout to Zed for being the lead trainer who worked with her and took a genuine interest in our pups success, and even came to our house a week later and followed up with the training in our home. I would totally recommend Wags to any dog owner looking for a reliable and beneficial solution to board and train.

I've had nothing but absolutely positive experiences so far here! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and I can tell they care about every dog that comes in. The first time I came in, I had just had a really horrible experience the day before with a different trainer. I was nervous as I didn't want to traumatize my dog again. I met with Zed for the meet and greet and my puppy took to him immediately. Zed was patient and listened to my concerns as well as my goals.

I left feeling like my pup was in good hands and was surprised to get a call later in the afternoon updating me on how my dog's day was going and some behavioral goals they identified. Since then, I have brought my puppy in for day care, grooming, and one training session. I can tell my dog always leaves happy and when I drop him off he is always excited! The staff always gives me personalized overviews of how my puppy did as well as what we can work on if anything specific arose. There are other facilities in Orange County, but Wags & Wiggles is the best!

We've been coming to Wags & Wiggles ever since our puppy received all of her shots. The socialization for her has been great and she gets excited everytime we pull up to class. It's so helpful to get all her puppy energy out throughout the day. We did the Puppy Raising program with Corey Long and he's been absolutely amazing. Very helpful with teaching us out to train a very active (and vocal) Vizsla. Cannot say enough good things about this place and their staff!
