It’s essential for any dog living at home. The program is most common for little puppies, but it works for older dogs as well, for example, rescue dogs who were never potty trained before.
Every fur-baby needs education
78% consider their pet as a ‘fur-baby' ⁽¹⁾. Yet only 4% of dogs in the U.S. take a training class⁽²⁾.

Why do most parents fail in training their dog?
“My dog sits perfectly during the training sessions, but gives a blank stare when I ask her to sit when we’re in the park.”
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “But he does it at home!” when your dog fails to respond in a new environment, your dog has not yet generalized the behavior to all contexts.
The neocortex, also referred to as the association cortex, more developed in humans than in dogs, is specialized in learning the regularities in the environment (Norman & O’Reilly, 2003). It identifies similarities between events and makes it possible to generalize. So once we’ve learned how to drive one car, we can quickly adjust and drive different cars.
A dog’s failure to perform is often seen as the dog’s deliberate choice to not comply. In reality, it means a dog doesn’t know the behavior to the extent you believe he does. That’s a training problem; the training wasn’t consistent enough, the behavior wasn’t generalized and taught to fluency.
Consistent training is the key, and that’s why Wiglo exists. We will walk you through the training day to day until you succeed.
Explore behaviors you can start improving today
Potty Training
14-DAY PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
Solve Reactivity
21-DAY PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
Follow this program to calm down a reactive dog in general, start managing their triggers and avoid further reactivity. Meeting other dogs outside won’t be as stressful, and having guests over will be as pleasant.
Solve Separation Anxiety
28-DAY PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
Due to a year-long lockdown, most dogs forgot what it's like to be alone, and “lockdown puppies” have never been alone in their whole life. By completing this program you will teach your dog how to stay calm at home alone, and avoid howling, barking, and destructive behavior.
Crate Training
28-DAY PROGRAM | 15-25 MIN/DAY
For dogs with destructive behavior or barking, crate training will improve their confidence and often fix their problematic behavior. Also, a crate will keep your nosy puppy safe when you’re not able to supervise, it will help to safely transport your pooch, and most importantly, it can be a lifesaver during emergencies for dogs of all ages.
Recall Training
21-DAY PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
Teach your dog to come every time you call. Protect your dog from running away, getting on a busy road, or approaching not a friendly dog (or a neighbor’s cat).
Stop Scavenging
14-DAY PROGRAM | 15-20 MIN/DAY
Teach your dog to stop eating everything he sees (or sniffs) while out walking. Not only is it often gross, but it can be dangerous. Eating weird things can cause an upset stomach or even require a trip to the veterinarian.
Stop Leash Pulling
14-DAY PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
Teach your dog to walk beside you like a prince or princess. Leash pulling can be not only frustrating but dangerous as well, both for you and your dog.
Solve Attention Seeking
7-DAY PROGRAM | 15-20 MIN/DAY
Follow this program to solve excessive begging, nudging, barking out of jealousy, or an endless need to throw a toy.
Build A Strong Bond
14-DAY PROGRAM | 15-20 MIN/DAY
Strengthen a relationship with your pooch by following a variety of games and activities. It will improve your dog’s concentration, and he will start paying more attention to you, rather than being distracted by everything happening around them.
Keep A Dog Off Your Bed
7-DAY PROGRAM | 15-25 MIN/DAY
Even if you couldn’t resist cuddling with a beloved pooch on your bed or sofa until it got out of control… By following this program you will train your dog that it’s your bed, and the pup has their place to chill.
Puppy Socialization & Basics
8-WEEK PROGRAM | 15-30 MIN/DAY
All-in-one program for a new puppy parent. From socialization to training necessary skills and teaching basic care.
Solve Jumping
12-DAY PROGRAM | 5-15 MIN/DAY
This program is designed for those who have a dog who jumps on people. It is meant to solve this problem by doing various exercises at home and outside.
Solve Puppy Biting
THEORY GUIDE
To be able to stop your pup’s biting, first, you need to know why it happens. In this program, we will teach you how to deal with it and the best way to stop it.

So far its a 5/5 !
“So far, wiglo has been amazing. I am still new here, but everything is laid out amazingly. I am training a PSD service dog who will, once completed training, be certified. These are NOT service dog tasks, but these courses help tremendously to lay a SOLID and reliable foundation. There is everything from potty training to leave it and proper socialization. A total of 12 courses as of now, that are all behaviors any dog should have. Acess to teainer help 24 hours, and there support is AMAZING. I was having some issues and Sara went above and beyond to help!"

Wiglow was excellent in starting off Phoebe's trainingme…
"Wiglow was excellent in getting me started with my puppy. I worked full time and take her to work with me so conventional dog training classes just didn't fit my schedule. Wiglow I was able to use at my own pace and convenience."

Non- Overwhelming Training!
“I really liked Wiglo. Training a dog can be overwhelming, but they break it down day by day. The lessons were easy to understand for me and my dog. I learned a lot about why my dog acts certain ways in situations and how to help that. I would recommend Wiglo to anyone who wants to train on their own time and have constant support. Plus, the price can't be beat!”

We're both learning!
“Wiglo has been a great tool in teaching my 7 month old rescue. They go over every command you could want to teach and has given some really helpful insight as an owner. Would definitely recommend, only wish they had reminders to keep training!”

Best Socialization Check List
“They have a huge socialization checklist of things to do with a new puppy that I LOVE!! It breaks it down simply with reasoning behind each thing. Also started the crate training one which is the course that convinced me to try Wiglo. It's been a week and although he's still anxious in the crate when we are not in the room, he can now sleep in it all night!!”

This is a great site
“This is a great site. You can train at your own pace. The training didnt fit my needs. The response from the team is excellent I am not sure how they respond so fast. They actually work with you as an individual. They are making more advanced trainings so I will keep them in mind in the future. Honest company.”

Room for improvement, but an incredible, well-thoughtout, clearly cared for product.
“They really go above and beyond. The customer service is great, the planning checklist, the way the individual plan is laid out, it's all very bite sized and I find it as a first-time dog owner, really easy to understand as I go. It does what you need to do: go slow. They clearly understand what it takes to train your dog, they make it easy for the dog owners to be able to get to the basic roots of how to communicate and build a relationship with your dog. Their layout and interaction for each plan is very well managed, and although i see room for improvement in the way this could be integrated into a better dashboard, I think for now, this is an incredible product that I can't wait to see where it goes.”

Easy to follow programs, big difference!
"Easy to follow training program you can complete at your own pace. The lessons are easily digestible, small amounts of information delivered at a time and they build upon previous lessons. We would review a lesson each morning and apply the trainings throughout the day. Some days we repeated trainings from the previous day if our beagle didn't seem to grasp the concept. After just a week of focused training we noticed our dog was much more responsive to our cues and calmer on walks! Love how simple the programs were to follow!!"
Frequently asked questions
General
Why is in-person training not necessary?
No matter how good (or expensive) a trainer is, a dog's behavior couldn’t be fixed in a few in-person training sessions. The real change happens at home, during your daily routine.
That’s why we provide you with day-to-day training programs that you could follow as if a trainer would be standing beside you every single day.
And if you get stuck or have a question, you can write on a discussion board to receive an answer from a professional trainer in 24 hours, usually in less than 15 minutes.
Is Wiglo online training programs for me?
Our online day-to-day training programs are based on science, positive reinforcement methodology and designed to be simple, short, and clear.
Wiglo is a perfect choice for new dog parents who wish to:
Save money by not spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on in-person training
Save time by not reading books full of theory without any clear action plan
Save energy by not doing the guesswork researching various sources online
Are these training programs for young puppies or older dogs?
Wiglo training programs work for dogs of all ages, and no matter if you have a purebred or a mixed rescue. All dogs are welcome to be trained!
Who made Wiglo training programs?
Every training program was made by our team of highly certified professional dog trainers who have many years of experience in the field.
They’ve trained hundreds of dogs in person and now joined Wiglo to help hundreds of thousands of dogs. In a digital age, and with the help of online training programs that every beginner can follow themselves – it became possible.
When can I expect results?
It depends on the behavior you’re trying to improve, but generally speaking, by doing 10-15 minute training sessions daily for a few weeks you will wonder where your dog is, and who this good boy (or girl) is. It’s all about consistent training!
What if I get stuck during the training or have a question?
Each day’s training has its discussion board where you can ask questions, upload a video if needed, and receive an answer from a professional trainer in 24 hours, usually in less than 15 minutes.
Can I get a refund if I already paid?
We offer a full refund within the subscription’s first 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund.
Technical
How will I receive access to online training programs?
After completing the payment for the subscription, you will receive a welcome email to set up a password for your account at school.wiglo.dog
After you’ve set up your account password, you could access all of our training programs on any device (phone, tablet, laptop, or PC) by visiting school.wiglo.dog
If you encounter any issues regarding access to training programs, please contact us at hello@wiglo.dog and we will help you out!
How do online training programs work?
The training programs are based on a single-tasking methodology which makes it easier to stay consistent, more easily achievable, and less stressful.
Each training program is divided into short daily training sessions that unlock each day. After succeeding in today’s training and marking it as complete, you will continue to the next day's training.
If you didn’t succeed on today’s task, we recommend you repeat it the next day, until you reach the day’s training goal and only then move to the next training.
This way, you will steadily improve your dog’s behavior day after day.
Which devices can be used to access training programs?
Our online training platform can be accessed on any mobile device, a tablet, laptop, or PC. You may even change devices and the progress will be saved, so you would always know where you have left off.
Subscription
If I subscribe now, will I have access to all future training programs?
Yes! By being a member at Wiglo, you will have access to all current and future training programs that we launch every month.
How does the subscription work?
After subscribing for a monthly, quarterly or annual membership, you will have access to all current and future Wiglo training programs. You will be automatically charged repeatedly every month, every 3 months or every 12 months (depending on a membership) on the day of your purchase, until you decide to cancel or change your subscription.
How can I cancel my subscription?
If you want to cancel or change your subscription, you can do it at any time. Your subscription confirmation email has a link to your subscription settings. You can manage your subscription from there. Also, you may contact us by email at hello@wiglo.dog in order to cancel or change your subscription.
Canceling your subscription won't refund past payments, but will stop all future payments. You'll keep any badges you earned while subscribed. Work you did in unfinished courses will reappear if you subscribe again.
What if I couldn’t afford the subscription price?
We want to make the training programs accessible for everyone, so if you wish to join Wiglo but for some reason couldn't pay the full price, do not hesitate and reach out via hello@wiglo.dog, and we will work something out.
Why do people cancel their subscriptions?
Usually, it’s dog parents that are looking for some secret quick fix for their dog’s unwanted behavior and are not willing to put effort (or don’t have the patience) in general.
Then, some clients decide to try out in-person training, but they usually come back after getting the same training guidance but many times more expensive.
And some simply don’t let us know why they’ve left. So if you do decide to cancel, please let us know why – we strive to continuously improve our training programs and service in general to satisfy every client’s needs.
Personalized roadmap
I purchased a membership but didn’t get a personalized roadmap
We can create a personalized roadmap only after completing a survey about your pup. If you haven’t done the survey yet, you can do it here: https://wiglo.typeform.com/roadmap
After completing the survey, please let us know at hello@wiglo.dog because we’re manually checking if a newly subscribed member has completed a survey or not.
If you purchased a membership, and then later completed a survey, it would be a great help for us if you would let us know about that so we could get to work right away.
I completed the survey but didn’t get a personalized roadmap
We create personalized roadmaps only after purchasing a membership.
As we’re manually reviewing surveys and designing roadmaps ourselves, creating them for everyone who completes the survey (and didn’t become a member) wouldn’t be physically possible.
If you have already completed a survey, and you’re ready to sign-up, you can choose a membership here: https://wiglo.dog/collections/membership
I completed the survey, purchased a membership but didn’t get a personalized roadmap
It might have happened if you used a different email address when completing a survey and making a purchase.
Simply email us at hello@wiglo.dog and let us know the email you used when completing a survey and we will create a personalized roadmap for your pup – you don’t need to re-do the survey.
If you have completed a survey, purchased a membership, and didn’t get a personalized roadmap in 24 hours, please email us at hello@wiglo.dog and we will fix it.
Improve dog's behavior one day at a time
Is your dog reactive (barking, growling) towards people, other dogs, cars, or any other triggers? It should be the first behavior to improve as it’s the base of the dog’s mental state – to be comfortable with the surroundings. We recommend doing the 21-Day program for solving reactivity unless your fur-baby isn’t potty trained yet.
The training programs are listed by the recommended priority. Although each case is different and you should start from any behavior that needs improvement. The training itself is already a win for a doggo. If you’re willing to tackle a few behaviors at once, that’s perfect! You may combine any programs.
Want a personalized training roadmap for your dog? Email hello@wiglo.dog with the subject line “Need a training roadmap for (your dog’s name)”.

You will be able to keep a dog off your bed or sofa by:
Setting up a calm and safe place for your fur-baby
Teaching a cue to get off your bed or sofa
Teaching a cue to go to her bed (place)
- Rewarding for spending time off your bed or sofa
Teaching a cue for jumping on bed or sofa (only when it’s allowed)
You will strengthen your bond by:
Finding what motivates your fur-baby
Surprising your dog for no reason
Hand-feeding
- Using treats for teaching
Praising for ...nothing!
Encouraging your pup to look into your eyes
Understanding that not every touch is pleasant to a dog
Not disturbing a dog when she is sleeping, resting
Comforting your pup when she is afraid
Training fun tricks
Doing agility exercises
Gradually desensitizing not so pleasant activities (nail clipping, brushing fur or teeth)
You will solve excessive attention seeking by:
Teaching a dog to relax on their own, in their bed, or in a sanctuary
Managing both good and bad attention towards a dog. For dogs, there is no bad or good attention, they value it as much
Setting a daily routine of activities. When a dog asks for attention, it doesn't necessarily mean that she lacks attention. It might mean a lack of schedule, and dogs love routine
- Gradually teaching a dog to spend more time alone, play with toys, chew bones, or sleep
Finding out new activities that both you and your dog could enjoy
You will stop leash pulling by:
Learning that allowing your dog to sniff can work as a praise
Playing a “tight-leash” exercise will teach your dog to look back at you when the leash gets tight
Using a different leash when your dog is most likely to pull so it wouldn’t affect the training
- Doing “Heeling” exercise to show your dog that walking next to you is fun and rewarding
Playing “Loose leash” game so your dog would come back at you without asking
Teaching your dog the “look at me” cue that helps to get the dog’s attention
Teaching the “Touch” cue, which is very useful when you need to walk your dog through the trigger while keeping the attention, and the leash loose
Playing the “No sniffing” game would help out when you’re in a rush
You will stop your dog from eating off the ground by:
Teaching the cue “Leave it”
Improving the “Leave it” cue in different situations and locations. Dogs don’t generalize, meaning if a dog learns to do the cue at home, it doesn’t mean he knows how to do it outside
Teaching to drop a toy or food from the mouth by exchanging it with another toy or a treat. It works great for times when a dog is chewing something that’s unhealthy or dangerous
- Teaching to drop anything from the mouth after the cue, without giving anything in exchange
Teaching to leave the food on the ground
Teaching to wait for your cue after finding some food on the ground
You will teach a perfect recall by:
Building your dog’s food drive
Teaching your dog the “look at me” cue that helps to get the dog’s attention
Improving the success rate of the “look at me” cue in various conditions, e.g. near other dogs, cyclists, or any other triggers
- Teaching the “Jackpot” cue which works great for situations when you feel that your dog will lose focus because of an upcoming trigger
Building your dog’s prey (toys) drive as toys can be as good a reinforcer as treats
Teaching “Grab it” and “Leave it” cues for safe and happy playing
Playing the “Fetch-game” which shows your dog that being near you means getting a treat (food or a toy)
Playing “Hide-and-seek” for teaching your dog to come even when you’re out of sight
Gradually shortening the training leash for a dog to get used to carrying less and less weight, then being off-leash
You will crate train your dog by:
Gradually building dog’s confidence towards the crate
Gradually increasing the time a dog can stay calm and relaxed in the crate
Showing a dog that the crate is the best place to get praised
- Setting a cue for a dog to go inside the crate
Getting a dog used to a closed gate of the crate
Creating a cave out of the crate, it can reduce anxiety and stress
Getting a dog used to spend time in the crate while you’re doing something, e.g. working out, eating or cooking, reading, watching TV, etc.
Desensitizing departure triggers, e.g. putting on a coat or shoes, getting keys
You will solve separation anxiety by:
Getting your dog used to a sanctuary area (a limited space in the room usually made using a pet gate)
Lowering dog’s stress to triggers that set off the anxiety when you leave home (putting on shoes or a coat, getting the keys or your bag)
Gradually increasing the time your dog spends calm alone in the sanctuary
Getting your dog comfortable spending time alone when you’re out of sight
- Teaching your dog to play or rest alone in the sanctuary when you leave home
Desensitizing triggers that set off when you leave home or come back
You will solve reactivity by:
Understanding which situations triggers your dog’s reactivity
Knowing what collar and leash is the best for your dog
Learning the list of specific behaviors to understand how your dog is feeling in different situations
- Building your dog’s food drive
Teaching your dog the “look at me” cue that helps to distract and calm down a dog, and put the dog’s attention off the trigger
Improving the success rate of the “look at me” cue in various conditions, e.g. near other dogs, cyclists, or any other triggers
Teaching the “Jackpot” cue which works great for situations when you feel that your dog will stress out in a second
Building your dog’s prey (toys) drive as toys can be as good a reinforcer as treats
Teaching “Grab it” and “Leave it” cues for safe and happy playing
Teaching your dog to “Find it” works great as a cue to calm down an aroused dog
Teaching the “Touch” cue, which is very useful when you need to walk your dog through the trigger while keeping the attention
Understanding how to continuously desensitize your dog’s triggers
You will potty train your dog by:
Setting up a stable timetable for your pup
Adjusting the home environment
Finding your dog’s favorite spot outside for doing business
- Setting a cue for pottying
Understanding and keeping track of potty incidents for adjusting the timetable
Learning dog’s body language to know when it’s time to go out
Gradually adjusting the timetable as your pup grows and can hold for longer
