See What Other Dog Owners are Saying
We’re beyond thankful.
Not only did I see immediate progress in my puppy’s behavior, but I also learned so much myself. Dane doesn’t just train your dog, he teaches you how to be a better, more confident handler. The sessions were clear, practical, and tailored to exactly what we needed. I left each one feeling empowered and excited to keep working with my pup.
The improvement in focus, obedience, and overall behavior was noticeable right away, and the foundation we built has continued to pay off as she’s grown.
I highly recommend Dane and the private foundation training to anyone looking to set their dog (and themselves!) up for success. It was absolutely worth it!
With Willie, we focused on reactivity and resource guarding. The structured approach gave me clear, practical steps instead of vague advice. I saw steady improvements in his engagement and stress levels, and I feel much more confident managing situations that used to escalate.
With Emu, we worked on obedience and human reactivity. She’s extremely smart but independent, and the program helped me build consistency and follow-through without creating conflict. Her reliability and responsiveness have improved significantly.
It’s not a quick-fix program, it requires consistency, but the framework is solid and produces real, lasting results.
About The Dog Wizard St. Charles
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.
