Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in North Shore, IL
Group Dog Training Classes
The Dog Wizard in North Shore hosts group classes that cover everything your pet needs to build confidence and manners in a group setting. Our program covers the depth and breadth of training, from essential obedience commands to house training. Your much-loved canine friend will learn all the important skills and behaviors to thrive at home and outdoors in the community. Socializing with other pets will help them build confidence and good manners. Our programs include puppy classes for dogs younger than five months and our foundation courses are perfect for small groups (consisting of five to seven dogs).
Dog Day Training
Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in North Shore makes it easier. Much like the name suggests, your dog spends the day with our trainers, who work on improving their behaviors and skills. But that’s not all because you will also receive private lessons to reinforce progress at home or in the park. Our options include a 6- or 15-day program, as we aim to suit your lifestyle and goals.
Lifetime Support
The Dog Wizard in North Shore truly understands that learning new skills is just the beginning of any training and new skills your dog acquires. Reinforcing those skills regularly is just as important as the initial training program. And because of this importance, we provide lifetime support to ensure your dog retains and maintains what they’ve learned. After completing your desired training program, you can attend weekly group classes that reinforce skills, foster socialization, and nurture strong bonds.
Private Dog Training Lessons
Need a special and personalized touch in your dog’s training? The Dog Wizard in North Shore offers private training sessions that give your canine friend personalized attention. These classes are uniquely tailored to your dog’s personality and behavior, based on a thorough assessment of your dog by our trainers. They then create a specific training strategy that’s followed through for great results. These private sessions can be held at your home or at our North Shore facility, depending on your needs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the most comfortable environment for both you and your dog.
Dog Socialization Training
Perfecting the craft of puppy socialization can be challenging, but fear not – The Dog Wizard is here to guide you! Are you ready to learn some pro tips? Begin socializing your puppy as early as possible, ideally between 3 and 12 weeks of age, by introducing them to diverse environments, unfamiliar people, other animals, dog parks, and dog daycare in a controlled manner. Ensure that your puppy training lessons are positive and stress-free. Maintain a calm demeanor and shower your dog with treats for positive interactions. Remember, patience and consistency are extremely important in this process.
Dog Separation Anxiety Training
Learning how to deal with a dog with separation anxiety can be difficult and sometimes frustrating. Fortunately, dogs with separation anxiety can overcome their issues and become more self-confident. Because these types of dog behavior problems are caused by fear, the key to solving them is to address the underlying nervousness. Behavior modification can only happen once your dog feels comfortable about being left alone. A training program that builds your dog’s self-confidence and reinforces the bond between you and your pet helps your new puppy or dog overcome fears and learn how to cope with everyday stress that can help treat separation anxiety.
Resource Guarding Training
If your dog tends to growl, snap or bite when guarding possessions, you should consult with a dog trainer, particularly if you have children who may be unable to sense warning signs.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
When you adopt a new puppy or dog from an animal shelter or a rescue organization, the history of your pet is generally unknown. Time, patience, and training are essential for solving potential behavior problems and getting your dog familiar with family members. Because structure is so important for dogs, starting a dog obedience class as soon as possible is a good idea.
Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking
Positive reinforcement training is a vital tool in fostering good behavior in dogs. This approach emphasizes rewarding the dog for positive behavior, encouraging them to repeat it. This method has proven to be an easy way to address several behavioral issues successfully.
