Waggingtons - Dog training & behaviour - London NW7 and Hertfordshire

Waggingtons is a trusted, long-established home day care and boarding service founded in 2009 and nestled in the green belt of North West London. Led by Tracie, who has been fully immersed in the dog world for the last 35 years, Waggingtons continues to serve as a cherished home-away-from-home for London’s beloved dogs.

Tracie’s passion for canine welfare and wellbeing sits at the heart of Waggingtons’ values. With extensive study behind her techniques and decades of hands-on experience, she has worked with hundreds of clients, achieving amazing results. Her unique insight into dog behaviour has helped many owners transform their relationships with their dogs — just read the reviews.

Waggingtons provides expert behavioural consultations, bespoke guided pack walks, and a unique overnight boarding service. Whether you are welcoming a new puppy or supporting an older dog, the focus is on positive techniques that show you how to become your dog’s best advocate. The aim is always a more positive, more pleasurable and stable relationship.

Behavioural consultations are one-to-one and cover all aspects of behaviour that may be impacting daily life. From jumping, biting and toileting indoors to pulling on the lead, excessive barking, lunging, reactivity toward dogs or people, or other unwanted behaviours, you will be helped to understand the “why” and given practical tools to move forward with confidence.

Your first session takes place at home and can take up to two hours. During this time, challenges are discussed in depth, tailored guidance is provided, and clear next steps are set out. You will leave with techniques you can apply immediately, designed to support calm, consistent progress for you and your dog.

Overnight boarding at Waggingtons offers a safe, comfortable, home-from-home environment where dogs can enjoy a fun-filled holiday, socialising with other thoroughly vetted and approved companions. With over 18 years of experience caring for London’s dogs, Waggingtons is fully licensed and insured. As the service operates from a home setting, attentive supervision is always available.

Places for boarding are limited to maintain high standards of care. To avoid disappointment, please refer to the integration protocol, which ensures each dog is introduced thoughtfully and set up for success. This careful process supports harmony, safety and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that clients value.

Waggingtons’ unique pack walks invite you and your dog to join daily weekday outings in the local green belt next to the premises, with morning and afternoon sessions. Walks include engaging activities such as ball games and recall practice, while dogs build friendships with the Waggers. Owners gain insight into how the team walk dogs every day.

The pack walk experience is fully guided, integrating your dog as part of the group while you take a back seat. Many owners also use a pack walk as part of their dog’s integration into the Waggingtons family. Clients love this distinctive approach, which blends training, socialisation and structured fun in natural surroundings.

Areas covered include North West London, North London and Hertfordshire, with local areas such as Mill Hill, Hendon, Finchley, Edgware, Stanmore, Barnet, Borehamwood, Radlett, Bushey, Hampstead and Highgate, as well as other surrounding areas. Waggingtons continues to be a one-stop shop for canine needs and a supportive partner for life with your dog.

Additional services include day care alongside the core offerings above, ensuring continuity of care from daily routines through to training and longer stays. With experienced guidance, positive methods and a warm, licensed home setting, Waggingtons helps dogs thrive — and gives owners the clarity and support they deserve.
