Why choose me….
When miso was really struggling to settle at the beginning and I was feeling completely lost, she was always there to offer different methods to help, even well into the evening a couple of times! I couldn’t have done it without her support and expert advice! Would most definitely book more sessions in should we need anything else!
Thanks so much Sarah!
Hi! My name is Sarah Stillwell and I am The Wagologist (previously Waggle). I’ve been working professionally with dogs for over 10 years, helping people better understand and support their canine companions. While I’ve gained many qualifications, I’ve highlighted the ones I’m most proud of below. I’m committed to ongoing learning and am always seeking out new challenges to deepen my understanding of dog behaviour.
‘As an Assessed and Qualified IMDTB Member of The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (www.imdt.uk.com) I am proud to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol’
I have completed the highest certificate with IMDT, Working with Canine Behaviour: Analysis and Application, Level 5. IMDT is the leading education, qualification and membership body within dog training and behaviour set up by Steve Mann who wrote the latest bestseller Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy!
I hold a professional qualification with L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation® course by Kim Brophey (www.dogdoorcanineservices.com). Brophey is an award winning canine behaviour consultant and author of “Meet your dog”. Using cutting edge research, the course has provided me with a ground-breaking system, using four comprehensive elements: learning, environment, genetics and self. The system identifies what your dog is struggling with, why and how to fix it in the most humane way, whilst respecting the dogs specific breed motivators and traits.
I am a Master Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers and have achieved the Higher Certificate in Professional Dog Training together with the Higher Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Psychology with CIDBT (Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training).
Last year, I completed the Master Course in Dog Aggression, with the world leader in dog aggression Michael Shikashio. This course was extremely informative and has given me a deeper insight into dog aggression, along with more possible solutions to this behaviour.
In addition, I offer Training Walks for overstretched clients and Online Courses that contain all the tips I have learnt over the years – making them really great value! I love to simplify dog training and behaviour, cutting out unnecessary jargon. So far there are five courses in total including Wag-tastic Puppy Training (everything you need to know to get off to the best possible start), Wagtastic Dog Training (for dogs over a year), reactivity, separation anxiety and lead walking.
I am based in Chingford and have may clients in Walthamstow. However, I cover many areas so it is always best to check but I am currently serving Higham’s Park, Woodford, Chigwell, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Leyton, Leytonstone, Stratford, Hackney, Stoke Newington, Clapton, Hackney Downs, Dalston, London Fields, Cambridge Heath, Bethnal Green, Old Street, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, De Beauviour, Hoxton, Angel, Highbury & Islington.
