The Joy of Wagging Begins

Several years ago I (Mariah) became a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer through The Karen Pryor Academy of Professional Dog Trainers. In my main line of work I go through TONS of treats. We were already making homemade treats for our dogs when I thought about using our treats for the training business.

One thing quickly led to another and in early 2022 we launched The Joy of Wagging, in addition to my training company, The Dog Training Connection. Eric and I are constantly expanding our product line and testing new ideas. Our dogs have become the quality control team, testing and guiding our recipes. Nothing goes out the door without the paws up from our guys.

The Joy of Wagging promise-

  • Make everything in small batches. To achieve high quality products.

  • Use organic and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

  • Use high quality 100% human grade ingredients with ZERO preservatives or fillers.

  • Make it fresh or don’t make it!

  • Make everything as if we are feeding our own lovable dogs….because we do.

  • Only cook when we’re happy….so that’s a lot!

  • And lastly, spread the word about wholesome, fresh, no preservative, high quality dog treats. Because our dogs show us everyday how much they love us.
