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.
Private Dog Training Lessons
Need a special and personalized touch in your dog’s training? The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor facility, depending on your needs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the most comfortable environment for both you and your dog.
Board and Train Dog Training
Have you always wanted to enroll your dog in training but never seem to find the time to do so? The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor offers a perfect solution. 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. What it means is your dog stays with our expert trainers full-time for 7, 14, or 21 days. You choose the schedule to suit your preferences. Your pet will receive attentive, professional dog training tailored to their needs right here in Ann Arbor throughout their stay with us.
Specialty Dog Training
Want a specialized training experience? Many The Dog Wizard centers in Ann Arbor offer specialty courses like agility training for active dogs, scent detection, therapy prep, and baby safety classes. These are open to all breeds, suitable for beginners and those with some experience.
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.
Dog Separation Anxiety Training
If you’re afraid of leaving your dog alone for extended periods of time, we get you and you’re not alone. We know that separation anxiety often leads to disruptive behaviors like chewing or barking and that can leave you feeling stressed. The good news here is that this is entirely manageable and can improve with proper training. The Dog Wizard’s program helps dogs build confidence and learn to cope with alone time, supported by expert guidance from our trainers.
Dog Aggression Training
Aggressive behavior in dogs can cause significant household stress. Some believe that this is part of their innate personality characteristics, but our expert trainers know better. We understand that aggression is often linked to fear, poor socialization, or trauma. That’s why The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor offers skilled trainers who work with you to address aggression and improve your dog's behavior for a calmer home.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
Training adopted or rescue dogs requires special care and the right approach. Rest assured that the trainers at The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor are experienced in this. They can help under-socialized, abused, or hyperactive dogs learn new or adapt current behaviors for greater confidence and a smoother, more joyful life together. We tailor training programs to each rescue dog’s unique history and needs for the best outcomes.
Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking
Different dogs have different challenges that need to be worked on. Sometimes it’s digging other times it’s leash pulling. But there are many others. If you want to better understand and manage problem behaviors, you need the right targeted solutions. At The Dog Wizard, your assigned trainer will create a customized training plan that focuses on specific issues to improve your dog’s conduct.
Resource Guarding Training
The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor offers training to safely address and modify resource guarding to ensure peace in your home. Resource guarding is when certain dogs guard their food, toys, or favorite spots aggressively. This behavior stems from early competition with their littermates but it can be worked on with great results for your dog, you, and everyone in your household.
