Wag the Dog

• Wag the Dog isn't named for the 1997 movie starring Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman, in which a spin doctor creates a made-up war to distract the public from a potential presidential scandal. This Wag the Dog offers urban dog training with proven results--there is nothing phony about it. The company has group classes in Brooklyn and private training in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. There are three group classes---Basic Manners for dogs 5 months and older, Puppy Kindergarten and Reactive Dog Classes. The Reactive class teaches behaviors to help dogs stop growling, lunging and barking at others. The class employs reward-based methods as opposed to physical corrections like pinch collars.
