Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Whitmore Lake

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.

Group Dog Training Classes
The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor hosts group classes that cover everything your pet needs to build confidence and manners in a group setting. Our program covers the depth and breadth of training, from essential obedience commands to house training. Your much-loved canine friend will learn all the important skills and behaviors to thrive at home and outdoors in the community. Socializing with other pets will help them build confidence and good manners. Our programs include puppy classes for dogs younger than five months and our foundation courses are perfect for small groups (consisting of five to seven dogs).

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.
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.
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.
Resource Guarding Training
Growling, snapping, or biting over items signals a need for professional help, especially in homes with children who miss cues. The Dog Wizard addresses these instincts safely.
Dog Separation Anxiety Training
Managing separation anxiety proves challenging and occasionally exasperating. Yet dogs can conquer it and gain assurance. Rooted in fear, solutions target the core unease. Comfort with solitude enables true change. The Dog Wizard's program boosts self-reliance, fortifies bonds, and equips pets to handle daily pressures effectively.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
Adopting from shelters or rescues often means unknown backgrounds for your new dog. Patience, time, and structured training resolve emerging issues and build family familiarity. Dogs thrive with routine, so beginning obedience classes promptly proves wise. The Dog Wizard tailors support for smooth integration.
Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking
Positive reinforcement shapes desirable dog conduct effectively. Owners reward good actions to encourage repetition. This technique reliably resolves common behavioral challenges.
Dog Socialization Training
Mastering puppy socialization takes effort, but The Dog Wizard provides expert direction! Ready for key strategies? Introduce puppies early, from 3 to 12 weeks, to varied settings, strangers, animals, parks, and daycare under supervision. Keep sessions upbeat and low-stress. Stay composed, reward good encounters generously. Patience and steadiness drive results.
