Dog Day Training

Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Twin Cities makes it easier. Much like the name suggests, your dog spends the day with our trainers, who work on improving their behaviors and skills.

Lifetime Support

The Dog Wizard in Twin Cities 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.

After completing your desired training program, you can attend weekly group classes that reinforce skills, foster socialization, and nurture strong bonds.

Let us help you bring out the best in your dog’s personality. Through our Dog Socialization Training, your canine friend can handle change more smoothly and you can enjoy life much more together.

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.
