Bri and the team at Dog Wizard have been wonderful helping me make good citizens of my rambunctious rescue pups, Murphy and Chance. After a two week in-house training camp for each of them, Bri made sure I was equipped with the tools and knowledge to reinforce their lessons. Ongoing support classes/availability is a great reassurance for me and was the determining factor for me selecting them. My boys get lots of compliments from other dog parents at the dog park and fellow diners at dog-friendly restaurants. I would highly recommend Dog Wizard and am happy to be their client.

We brought our 7 month old English black lab for the jump start program. He was always a sweet dog, just no manners. Lots of jumping, pulling on the leash (which at 72 lbs almost took me out), and chewing. We have 3 kids under 5 so trying to train him ourselves was super difficult. Patrick was our trainer and he was amazing. He sent tons of pictures and videos during his stay to let us know he was progressing well and having a good time. When he came home, he was a different dog! He no longer pulls, will sit in place while we eat and cook, is no longer chewing on things and is generally just a better behaved dog. We are so grateful for this experience and we can’t wait to continue his learning in the support class! Thanks you for everything Patrick!

We brought our 4-year-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd, Vinnie, for the two week program. Before training, we had difficulty dealing with his reactivity to his surroundings. Since he’s already an adult, we were worried he might be difficult to train, but Briauna did an amazing job with him.

Vinnie is now doing incredibly well with all of his training, both inside and outside the house, and we’re happy to be able to walk him in places where he would have previously been reactive. We’re so grateful for all the time, effort, and care Briauna and the staff invested in Vinnie. They took such great care of him, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

The Dog Wizard was an exceptional experience that we highly recommend. Our four-month-old Lainey spent 14 days working with Briauna (Bri) as part of the board and Jumpstart program. Bri is incredibly knowledgeable, confident, dedicated, and caring. As new and nervous parents, Bri kept us well-informed throughout Lainey’s stay, providing updates and pictures. Upon her return, we immediately noticed a positive difference in Lainey. She learned obedience commands and is now great walking on the leash. We have Bri set her up for success, and we are eagerly looking forward to continuing her training.

Thank you to Corrie, Bri, and everyone at The Dog Wizard for taking such good care of Lainey!

My rescue, Kali, has become more anxious and reactive as she’s gotten older. She just turned five, and I was worried it might be too late, but the Dog Wizard team didn’t hesitate. Patrick was her trainer during the 2 week jumpstart camp and did an amazing job! He gave Kali the confidence she needed and showed us how to keep her training going at home. He was also very patient in ensuring I knew what Kali would need from me to be the best version of herself. Corrie was also very understanding when Kali had a spine injury just a few days before her scheduled training and was so accommodating about her recovery and rescheduled us twice when needed.
We really appreciated all the pictures and updates, they made me feel a lot better when I was missing her the most.
Thank you, Corrie, Patrick, and everyone at the Dog Wizard for taking such great care of Kali!

We came to the Dog Wizard needing some help with our girl Marley. She’s had issues with reactivity towards dogs and people, pulling on the leash and trouble with distractions. We decided on doing the 2 week jumpstart camp. Briauna was her trainer and she did an amazing job! She gave Marley the confidence she needed and deserved. Bri has driven Marley in the right direction and she is so much better with things we used to really stress about. She also gave us the tools we needed so we could continue training Marley ourselves. She provided us with lots of pictures and updates, which gave us comfort and made us so proud of her progress! Thank you Corrie, Bri and everyone at the Dog Wizard for helping and taking care of Marley as well as taking a huge weight off her mom and dads shoulders!

We have had both of our dogs trained at this location. Bri was amazing with our Malinois building confidence and help overcome his insecurities which has changed him for the better. Mike did a wonderful job with instructional training with our goofy Shepherd mix. We boarded them there also. Very nice and clean facility. The staff overall is great!, friendly and supportive. The biggest plus for me is that they continue to offer support after the training is completed. Pack walks, follow up training sessions, pack outings, responsive texting answering questions, etc... Just been an incredible experience

We brought our 4 month old German Shepherd Kaya to the 2 week training program. Kat did an amazing job with her. She now walks perfect on a leash and learned basic commands! We are so happy with the results!

I brought in a 2 year old rescue that had anxiety and a fear of men. Patrick was his trainer. He did a wonderful job teaching him basic commands, building confidence, socializing him and taking my dog on amazing adventures. I’ve done the two week training with two other companies, this experience was exceptional. I’ll be continuing group training, and highly recommend both the dog wizard and Patrick.

About The Dog Wizard Fort Myers

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 Fort Myers 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. While the cost of training is a wide range depending on a myriad of factors and personalization to your and your dog’s needs, training programs start at $250.

Additional questions? We’d love to help.
