Dog Day Training
Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor 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.

Perfect for those whose schedules are too tight to attend dog training classes but who want the best for their canine friends, is our board and train program.

Resource Guarding Training
Dogs are pack animals, so it’s a natural instinct for them to share resources. But sometimes, they have to compete for these with their siblings. As they grow, some will display guarding behavior. This can revolve around food, toys, crates, or favorite resting spots. If this is a challenge you are dealing with, you can rest assured that the experts at The Dog Wizard can help.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
If you’re the proud owner of an adopted or rescue dog, you’ll know that these pets are often accompanied by a unique set of difficulties. At The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor, our expert trainers can handle training for adopted/rescue dogs from a broad range of backgrounds. Many of these dogs are either poorly socialized or are recovering from past trauma.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training
At The Dog Wizard, we know that some dogs experience separation anxiety. When this happens, they tend to react with destructive habits or excessive vocalizing. However, from years of experience, we also know that improvements in these behaviors are very possible. With dedicated support, anxious dogs can build the confidence to spend time alone. The Dog Wizard’s separation anxiety training in Ann Arbor guides pet owners in helping their dogs become more assured when solo. Our experts share valuable knowledge on managing separation anxiety.
