Dog Aggression Training

Stressed dogs often display warning signals like growling or posturing to create distance. Barking at children might seem like dislike, but usually reflects inadequate socialization and overwhelm from their energy. The Dog Wizard's skilled trainers collaborate with you to enhance dog-owner dialogue. Building trust in your reassurance allows calmer responses to triggers.

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.

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.

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.
