Have peace of mind knowing that your pup is staying with us in our home as one of the family! Learn why we are the best at what we do..
Tailored Programs: Every dog is unique, and we believe their training should be too. We tailor our board and train programs to fit your dog’s specific needs and personality, ensuring they get the attention and training they deserve.
Training For Real Life: We take your pup to pet friendly locations throughout their stay. As they progress through training they will visit pet stores and local parks to practice their newfound obedience in the real world.
Reliable Obedience: Your dog will master essential commands, crate training, leash manners, and more, setting them up for success at home. Off-leash recall, Stay, Drop it, Sit/Down and Heel to name just a few. Inquire about what your pup is struggling with and we will tailor a program for you.
Owner Involvement: We believe training is a team effort! We not only train your dog but also equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to continue the training journey at home. You’ll receive personalized tips throughout their stay. Most importantly our lifetime training promise.
Lifetime Training Promise : Once your dog goes home if you are ever struggling with a command that was taught in your program, we can help you get back on track through as needed private lessons at no additional cost. This ensures success long after your pet returns home.
Peace of Mind: We know how special it is that you trust us with your best friend. We send updates throughout each week of photos and videos so you can see just how much they are learning.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for visiting our page. I’m Shane the founder of Wags and Wisdom Dog Training. This dream was born from a passion to continue offering top tier training services to the local Gettysburg community and beyond! My love of dogs started from training our family pets as a child, to continuing to learn with my own dogs as an adult. Learning just the basics was never enough, I always strove for more! I not only wanted a well behaved dog, I wanted to impress people too! I have been an avid competitor in the sport of Schutzhund with my own German Shepherds which has greatly increased my knowledge of reliable obedience. It hasn’t always been easy, I have worked through my own challenges of behavior modification such as aggression and reactivity. I know exactly what it’s like to be the frustrated pet parent just wanting to take their dog on a walk… so my journey began. I spent years learning under experts and traveling all across the country to seminars and events to learn from the best. Slowly building up my knowledge to offer to those around me. I have been privileged to work with the Gettysburg community since 2020 with another company. Now with a heart full of passion for dog training, I am spreading my wings to continue to work with those around me here under Wags and Wisdom. My approach combines positive reinforcement along with balanced training, creating a dog who is eager to learn but understands boundaries and rules. I understand each dog's unique personality and tailor my methods accordingly, making sure every tail wag is a victory. My goal is not only that your dog becomes better behaved but that you and your pup walk away with a deeper understanding of one another.
