Day two of our Therapy Dog Trainer Program focused on a crucial skill: how to select the right dog for therapy work. Temperament, confidence, and a gentle nature are all key factors we assess.

In partnership with Charlie's Animal Rescue Centre (CARE), we hosted this Dog Aggression Seminar. It was designed for rescuers, foster parents, and anyone wanting to learn how to safely approach and handle fearful or aggressive dogs.
This seminar on Aggression Handling and Rehabilitation offered years of hands on experience to the community. Understanding and managing aggression is a critical skill for anyone working with dogs.
About this collection
Our courses are hands-on, not just classroom theory.

Learn from Certified Experts
At Wag-ville, we believe education is the key to a stronger bond between pets and people. We have moved beyond just boarding to create a center for learning in Bangalore, where experience meets science.
Therapy Dog Trainer Certification
Our exclusive program is designed for trainers, psychologists, and pet parents who want to help others through animal-assisted therapy. This certification covers the entire journey: from assessing a dog’s temperament and confidence to practical work with neurodiverse individuals. You will learn the principles of canine psychology and the specific requirements for training dogs for therapeutic roles.
Canine Aggression & Rehab Seminars
Understanding aggression is a critical skill for any foster parent or rescuer. We host comprehensive seminars that teach you how to read body language, recognize triggers, and safely handle fearful or aggressive dogs. We use a problem-solution framework to show you how to manage and rehabilitate rescues, making the integration process safer for everyone involved.
Canine Open Houses
We host free, monthly 'Let's Talk Dog' sessions at our Jakkur facility. These are open forums where you can bring your questions about puppy raising, separation anxiety, leash pulling, or general obedience. It is our way of ensuring that every pet parent has access to professional guidance, regardless of their training goals.
