About Woof & Wags K-9 Obedience Training

About Sherry and Tom Altman

Did you know that only 5% of dogs ever go through training? To overcome this situation, Sherry and Tom Altman have provided families with pet training along with competition obedience and agility training for over 35 years.

They both have numerous agility, rally obedience and obedience titles. They have also judged dog competition projects at local county 4-H fairs. Tom has judged the 4-H dog agility competition at the Florida State Fair and has trained blind and deaf dogs.  He is also certified by the American Kennel Club to teach and certify puppies in the puppy S.T.A.R. program, (Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility). He is also certified to teach adult dogs the C.G.C. (Canine Good Citizen course).

Woof & Wags K-9 Obedience Training is a member of APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers), which has six thousand members all over the world. Tom graduated from Purdue University with a B.S. degree in Animal Science.

Our goal is to make sure that dogs and humans live in harmony by preventing bad behavior and increasing the success of more adoptable dogs. Training, along with socialization, is very important in building a bridge for the dog and the human to communicate in. Participants in our classes receive a graduation certificate on completing the program successfully.

Our motto is "A dog worth having is a dog worth training"! You can entrust your canine friend with us since we're certified trainers for AKC, AKC evaluators for CGC (Canine Good Citizens) and members of APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers).
