The Leader of the Pack
The Dog Wizard™ is a mobile dog training and facility-based franchise designed to give dog owners a better choice in dog training. We are a company that focuses on the individual needs of the dog and the dog owner. The Dog Wizard uses a balanced and open minded approach that is based on the learning style of the dog in front of us. We then teach pet owners how to take the learning to a level that strengthens the bond between them and their best friend.
Why Dog Wizard?
Balanced Training
We train using a motivational method based around an intricate marker system, with the thoughtful use of pressure based on clear communication, consistency, trust and mutual respect.
We understand that naturally there are two types of behaviors that dogs will exhibit: self-rewarding and neutral. Self-rewarding behaviors are behaviors that lead to self-preservation and/or food acquisition such as running, jumping, barking, biting, chasing and eating. Neutral behaviors are all the rest like sitting, lying down, and coming when called. We believe that you cannot reward away self-rewarding behaviors. We have learned that dogs can be taught that neutral behaviors are not only worth doing but are a great path to good things.
Genuine Love of Dogs
First and foremost, we are in this business because we love dogs. We love seeing dogs’ lives improve because of training. We love seeing owners’ lives improve because of their dog’s training. It never gets old.
Unmatched Customer Service
Our goal is to make both the dog and human client ecstatically happy. We do this with great communication, processes, and training. We answer and return your phone calls and emails. We also make it easy to schedule training sessions. We are always here when you need us.
Proven & Successful Training Methods
We have processes, techniques, and tools that we use to solve behavioral problems and teach obedience. These systems have created a lot of happy clients (both human and dog). However, we also understand that every dog is unique, and every now and again, we will use a technique or tool in a different way that just fits an individual dog to achieve the desired result. Our training methods’ objective is to create a happy, confident, and reliable dog.
Thousands of Client Testimonials
The proof is in the pudding when it comes to dog training. Anyone can claim anything, but achieving it is a different story. We strive to not just teach the dog obedience commands or behavioral modification, but to make sure these obedience commands and behavioral modification work for the owner (when the trainer is not there). And most importantly they work around distractions, aka “when you need them to work the most”. Because of this, we have thousands of testimonials to hang our dog wizard hat on.
Murphy went through training over a year ago and is still the well-mannered dog he came home as. Training is easy and simple to maintain. The Dog Wizard is always available to answer any questions that we have had and explain things in a way that is very easy to understand. Thank you for taking our crazy and uncontrollable puppy and transforming him into our loving family pet and our son’s best friend!

Core Values
Teamwork
Teamwork
The combined efforts of The Dog Wizard dog trainers and the dog owner are what makes the training work. We work with dog owners to achieve the goals they have for dog training. We then engage the dog owner in the training program so that the results are long-lasting and achieve the goals they have for dog training.
We then maintain an ongoing relationship so that the dog owner continues to enjoy the long-term benefits of engaging with The Dog Wizard for their dog training needs.
Patience
Patience
We utilize an open-minded and balanced approach toward training. We understand that no two dogs are alike. We also understand that, like children, every dog has their own behavioral style and needs.We get to know each dog in front of us, tailoring our instruction to the needs of the dog owner and the learning capacity of the dog. We do not push dogs beyond their attention capacity. We take them from where they are to the place the dog owner would like their dog to be, and at a pace that is best for the dog. This approach is not only best for the dog, but it also achieves long-lasting results.
Acceptance

Because each dog has its own personality and learning style, we accept them for who they are. We also accept that each dog will learn at their own pace.
Therefore, we take each dog from where they are to the place their owner wants them to be by implementing an individualized training plan. We assess each dog and map a plan designed for success as determined by their owner and their individual personality.
Care

We take care to implement a balanced training program that is destined to achieve desired results. We also take care to handle each dog in the most professional and ethical manner possible.

Integrity
