Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs near West Indianapolis
American Kennel Club (AKC) Training
Initiate with our S.T.A.R. Puppy program. This foundational course sets the stage for subsequent AKC obedience training. With hands-on sessions, interactive modules, and a focus on real-world scenarios, your pup is poised for growth. Our seasoned trainers provide personalized feedback, ensuring a lasting bond between you and your canine.
Board and Train Dog Training
Every pet owner wants a well-trained dog in the house. Such dogs promptly obey commands, can spend time alone without being destructive, safely bond with people in the home and don’t get spooked when they encounter strange dogs and people during outings. Since dogs require a lot of positive training to reach this point, dog owners nationwide trust The Dog Wizard’s board and train dog training programs to teach their pets crucial commands and manners.
Dog Day Training
Our dog day training program promises a comprehensive education for your dog. This stimulating experience covers various areas, including basic obedience classes, teaching tricks, and achieving and maintaining optimum health. A training example is counter-surfing. Put an end to your dog jumping on the kitchen counter to steal food!
Group Dog Training Classes
In the dynamic world of canine companionship, group dog training classes offer an avenue for teaching obedience while establishing a solid bond between you and your furry friend. It’s a universe where dogs don’t just learn to sit, stay, or roll over; they develop lifelong behavior skills. This vibrant learning environment fosters a synergy of cooperation, communication, and respect between pets and their owners.
Lifetime Support
The success of your dog depends on the commitment of your follow through after graduation. We not only teach your dog the skills it needs to be well-behaved, but we teach you, your spouse, your kids, and anyone else how to best use those skills so you can have a long, healthy, and happy relationship with your dog. We will give you all the tools necessary to make things clear and simple to make sure everything sticks long term. While we have taught your dog a foundation, it ultimately comes down to your (and your family’s) relationship with your furry friend to ensure your new and improved family member continues to improve. We are successful because we provide dog training that works , it is that simple.
Private Dog Training Lessons
One-on-one training sessions allow our professional dog trainers to tailor programs effectively, addressing each dog’s behavior and unique needs. Private training allows for a more focused and personalized approach, ensuring your dog receives the individual attention required to achieve optimal results. Flexibility is another key benefit of private training. At The Dog Wizard, we understand that your schedule may be busy. That’s why we offer customized scheduling options, allowing you to choose training sessions that fit seamlessly into your routine.
Puppy Training Programs
No matter what breed they are, when left untrained, puppies get up to all sorts of mischief. This is fine when they’re young and learning, of course, but not so much when they’re older and bigger. That’s why it’s important to take them to dog training classes to teach them what is and isn’t okay right from the beginning. Our puppy training programs are designed to help your furry friend develop good habits, manners and social skills.
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.
Dog Aggression Training
An uncomfortable dog usually responds with intimidating or threatening behavior as a way of warning others to back off. You might feel your dog doesn’t like children when it barks loudly at your neighbors’ kids, but it’s more likely it hasn’t been socialized in these situations and is feeling stressed by the children’s loud and unpredictable behavior. At The Dog Wizard, our knowledgeable dog trainers work with you to improve communication between you and your canine companion. Once your dog knows it can trust you when you tell it that it’s safe, your pet can start responding to these situations in different ways.
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.
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.
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.
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.
