Our
Training Ethos
We do not condone any techniques using physical punishment or intimidation, or the use of aversive equipment such as prong or choke collars.
We believe training should be fun and enjoyable, and the relationship between you and your dog should be based on trust and not fear.

About
Lea
I’m Dr Lea Lango-Scholey, I founded Wags at Crags in 2019 with a mission to provide affordable dog training and behavioural services backed by scientific evidence of force-free and reward-based techniques.
My interest in dog behaviour started as early as I can remember. As a teenager I spent many hours walking friends' dogs and helping those involved in the re-homing of street dogs. This passion lead me to study Zoology at the University of Bristol, where I was particularly attracted to their world-famous Animal Behaviour unit.
I spent 8 years in academia doing research in molecular microbiology, including a PhD scholarship in Cork (Ireland) and postdoctoral research positions in Universities of Nottingham and Leicester. Eventually, however, my passion for dogs and the arrival of my daughter lead me to look for a better work/life balance, hang up my lab coat and officially become a dog trainer and behaviourist.
Since founding Wags at Crags I have helped 100s of dogs and their owners with a range of issues and basic manners. I'm passionate about helping humans communicate with dogs in a way that both species understand, and showing how choice-based learning is the best way to achieve long-lasting results whilst maintaining a strong and trusting relationship with your pet.
