About Savanna
Savanna Tolley is the Director of Marketing at The Dog Wizard and a certified professional dog trainer. Over three years of hands-on work with dogs and their owners, she’s focused on puppy socialization, behavior modification, and a balanced approach to training. Her take on it is pretty simple: training works best when you stop trying to get the dog to speak your language and start learning theirs.
She writes across a range of dog training topics — from everyday obedience and communication to the bigger behavioral challenges owners don’t always know how to talk about. Because she’s worked directly with dogs and families, not just in a marketing capacity, what she writes comes from actual experience. The Dog Wizard is an Accredited Training & Education Provider, recognized by the American Accreditation Association (AAA) for its standards in dog training and education — and that same commitment to doing things right carries through to everything she puts her name on.
