American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

The Dog Wizard is pleased to share that our puppy program in Ashland is also an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. This means that, after passing the program, your dog will be eligible to test for the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate. In addition to receiving certification, you and your puppy will be registered in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and receive a display medal.

Puppy Training Programs

There’s no doubt puppies are full of energy. While this playfulness provides plenty of entertainment, it can also lead to behavioral problems. From chewing furniture to play biting, there are all sorts of mischief for young puppies to get into. That’s why at The Dog Wizard in Ashland, we offer comprehensive puppy training. These lessons teach puppies essential skills (such as obedience commands, leash walking and socialization), helping ensure they grow into well-behaved adults.

Dog Day Training

Finding time to train your dog can be difficult. If you’re too busy during the day, you might benefit from The Dog Wizard Day Training program in Ashland. Throughout the day, your pet will work with a trainer to improve behavior. Between day schools, you’ll enjoy a private lesson in the comfort of your own home. Depending on your and your dog’s needs, you may choose between 6-day and 15-day programs.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

Separation anxiety is a common issue for dogs, and many dogs suffering from it develop behavior problems, such as destructive behavior or incessant whining and barking when you leave home. There is hope for improvement, though. With help, your anxious dog can learn how to handle being left alone for short periods of time. Our dog separation anxiety training can help area pet owners teach their dogs to be more self-confident and secure. Professional dog trainers at The Dog Wizard will provide in-depth knowledge about treating separation anxiety in dogs.

Dog Socialization Training

Envision your canine companion fearlessly exploring their surroundings, unburdened by anxiety or aggression. Incredible, isn’t it? That’s the empowering transformation The Dog Wizard’s trainers aim to achieve! Through positive interactions with different environments and experiences, dogs can build confidence and learn to navigate the world easily. They’re able to handle stress better and adapt to changes more quickly. Early life socialization doesn’t just make a dog easier to manage; it significantly enhances their quality of life, paving the way for a happier, more content pet.

Dog Aggression Training

Most people who welcome a dog into their home anticipate many years of happy companionship. But some dogs exhibit aggressive behavior, making it challenging to integrate them into your life. Living with an aggressive dog can cause stress and tension for the entire household. Although your first instinct might be to assume aggression is an innate part of your dog’s personality, in many cases, their behavior is caused by poor socialization, fear, stress, or bad experiences. The good news is that you can find an experienced dog trainer in Ashland who can help address aggression in your pet and work with you to resolve some of these behavioral issues. Read on to learn more about dog aggression training at The Dog Wizard in Ashland and how it can help your pup.

Some dogs are aggressive when guarding food, toys, crates, and places they like to spend a lot of time, such as a couch or bed. This type of guarding behavior can develop instinctually among puppies if they grew up having to compete with others in their litter for food.
