Ally Booth, a professional dog trainer based in West Michigan, is giving couples a unique way to include their beloved furry family members in one of the most memorable days of their lives — their wedding. Through her successful business, Captivated Canine, Ally helps dog owners with training and behavior management. But she’s taken her passion to the next level by launching Wags & Weddings, a specialized service that allows couples to “rent” a dog trainer who ensures that their four-legged friend can be part of their wedding festivities.

Ally’s passion for helping dogs and their owners bond has led to an exciting new venture — Wags & Weddings. This specialized service allows couples to seamlessly include their pets in their wedding ceremonies, ensuring that their furry family members play an unforgettable role on their big day. From coordinating an adorable dog wedding entrance to ensuring that your pup behaves impeccably throughout the event, Ally’s team ensures that your pet gets the VIP treatment they deserve.
Wags & Weddings goes beyond simply bringing your dog to the wedding. Ally’s services are designed to create stress-free, joyful experiences for both pets and their owners. On the day of the wedding, Ally or one of her highly trained professionals will arrive with everything your pup needs to stay happy and comfortable throughout the festivities. Whether it’s a bag full of treats, favorite toys, or cozy chews to keep them entertained, Wags & Weddings ensures that your furry friend enjoys the celebration just as much as you do.
For many couples, pets are more than just animals — they’re family. They’ve been by your side through life’s ups and downs, offering unconditional love and support. So, when it’s time to celebrate one of the most important days of your life, why not include your loyal companion in the festivities?
Ally Booth understands the deep emotional connection between people and their pets, which is why she created Wags & Weddings. Her goal is to ensure that couples can honor their beloved pets in a meaningful way, without the stress or worry of managing them during such a busy day.

To ensure that your pup feels comfortable and secure on the big day, Wags & Weddings offers pre-wedding meet-and-greet sessions. This step allows the trainer to develop a bond with your dog and assess their temperament. Building familiarity beforehand helps reduce anxiety and makes your dog feel more at ease when surrounded by crowds and unfamiliar environments.
If your dog has specific behavioral needs or anxiety triggers, the trainer can develop a customized plan to accommodate them. For dogs that may be nervous in loud or crowded settings, Wags & Weddings can even establish a designated “safe space” where they can retreat for a break if needed. This thoughtful touch ensures that your furry friend enjoys the day just as much as you do.
Whether your pup is walking down the aisle, posing for timeless photos, or simply being there to support you during your vows, Wags & Weddings makes it possible to include your furry best friend in every magical moment. By taking care of every detail, Ally and her team ensure that both pets and their owners can savor every second of the celebration without distractions.
Every couple’s wedding vision is unique, and Wags & Weddings tailors its services to match your specific needs. Whether you want a simple ceremony appearance or a full-day VIP experience for your pet, Ally works closely with you to customize the experience to perfection.

Your wedding day should be filled with joy, laughter, and love — and that includes your fur baby! With Wags & Weddings, you don’t have to choose between celebrating with your guests and including your pet. Ally Booth’s passion for creating meaningful experiences ensures that your furry family member will be part of your most cherished memories.
Let Wags & Weddings handle the details while you focus on enjoying every moment. From ensuring your dog’s grand entrance to capturing those perfect candid shots, Ally and her team bring your dream of a pet-inclusive wedding to life.
