We recently finished 10 sessions with Polaris for our 1 year old Cavapoo, Louie, and couldn’t be happier with the progress! Louie has made huge improvements in being able to settle in public, managing his reactivity, and properly socializing with other dogs. Polaris not only helped Louie, but also taught us so much as owners — we feel more confident and equipped thanks to her guidance. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable, she’s also super personable and easy to work with. Polaris truly went above and beyond, and honestly, she deserves a raise! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who gets results and genuinely cares.

When we first brought Timon home, we were not ready for all of his behaviors. He would get stuck in anxious loops where he would counter surf, and try to pull things off the counters for hours. On our walks he wouldn't pull, but he would get the zoomies and direct all of his energy at me with jumping and biting. He was expelled from his first two Rover daycares because he would not settle or take breaks and exhibited possessiveness over toys. We also couldn't leave him alone, because he could break out of his crate within 10 minutes. We were really having an "Oh no, what have we done?" moment.
After looking at many different training facilities, we decided to go with Dog Wizard because we liked that they offered continued support even after training is done, and they make home visits. We are incredibly grateful that Tim was our trainer because he went above and beyond to help all of us find stability and balance. He is definitely someone you can trust to set you and your dog on the right path and will think outside the box with whatever your dog is struggling with. The expectation definitely should not be that Tim comes and fixes your dog, but more that he will give you any tool you need with plenty of guidance and support, so you can continue training your dog between sessions.
Timon still has his moments, as he is a pretty anxious guy, but he regulates a lot faster, is more redirectable, has not been expelled from his current daycare (lol), and has finally settled, so our home is a stable environment for all parties involved. We are excited to start group sessions soon. Thank you to Tim and Dog Wizard!

We are very happy with the Private Freedom program for our dog Chloe who was having issues with lunging and barking at stranger humans and dogs. Didn’t know what to expect since nothing we did on our own worked, but our trainer Polaris was a skillful guide. She rocks! It exceeded our expectations of how quickly Chloe was able to learn new skills and improve her behaviors. The program also taught us how to be better dog parents and to provide a safe and consistent environment for her. Appreciate the post graduation ongoing support meetups. Highly recommend Dog Wizard Milpitas 🧙🏻

A few months ago I took my dogs Wrigley & Ducky to meet with The Dog Wizard Milpitas for dog training and I highly recommend their services. The trainer treated my two fur babies with an incredible level of care. They’re fantastic, have a deep passion for dogs, and it shows. It was evident from the start that they’ve had lots of experience with pets and understand dog psychology very well. What sets them apart is their ability to provide tips for necessary exercise and mental stimulation to keep them engaged and happy. It’s also good for dog’s socialization. You can trust them to provide your dog with the same level of care and attention that they provided my dogs with.

About The Dog Wizard Milpitas

Our dog training goes beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, and Down. Our approach focuses on helping your dog make better choices and respond to you instead of their impulses.

We cover all the essential obedience commands you need to communicate effectively with your dog. But more importantly, we teach your dog to stay engaged and follow through with these commands, even in the most distracting environments.

Our goal is to enhance your dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior, not just a few tricks they perform when they feel like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dog Wizard Milpitas offers a free evaluation. This enables our trainers to talk with you, in depth, learn about your dog, go over your training goals, and find a program that works for you. Give us a call and we will help you set one up.
The Dog Wizard trainers are well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars. We know that not all dogs do well with every tool and we will help you decide what tool is best for your dog as well as what tools you’re comfortable with using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you’re comfortable in using will be the one you’re most consistent in using and that’s what’s most important to us.
It is never too late to start teaching your dog new habits. It will take more time and effort than teaching a new puppy but you will love the outcome.

In order to know how long it will take to train your dog, we will need to do a free consultation. During your consultation, we will get to understand what you are looking to gain from the training as well as evaluate your dog to see what we will need to do to get him where you would like him to be. At that point, we will be able to give you a timeline for his training.

We do not have a one size fits all approach to training. Each dog owner team that has a free evaluation will have a customized program designed to fit your specific needs. Because of this, individualized system pricing varies. Give us a call and we will help you set one up
