Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Minneapolis

Board and Train Dog Training

Every pet owner wants a well-trained dog in the house. Such dogs promptly obey commands, can spend time alone without being destructive, safely bond with people in the home and don’t get spooked when they encounter strange dogs and people during outings. Since dogs require a lot of positive training to reach this point, dog owners nationwide trust The Dog Wizard’s board and train dog training programs to teach their pets crucial commands and manners.

Dog Day Training

Our dog day training program promises a comprehensive education for your dog. This stimulating experience covers various areas, including basic obedience classes, teaching tricks, and achieving and maintaining optimum health. A training example is counter-surfing. Put an end to your dog jumping on the kitchen counter to steal food!

Puppy Training Programs

No matter what breed they are, when left untrained, puppies get up to all sorts of mischief. This is fine when they’re young and learning, of course, but not so much when they’re older and bigger. That’s why it’s important to take them to dog training classes to teach them what is and isn’t okay right from the beginning. Our puppy training programs are designed to help your furry friend develop good habits, manners and social skills.

Lifetime Support

The success of your dog depends on the commitment of your follow through after graduation. We not only teach your dog the skills it needs to be well-behaved, but we teach you, your spouse, your kids, and anyone else how to best use those skills so you can have a long, healthy,and happy relationship with your dog. We will give you all the tools necessary to make things clear and simple to make sure everything sticks long term. While we have taught your dog a foundation, it ultimately comes down to your (and your family’s) relationship with your furry friend to ensure your new and improved family member continues to improve. We are successful because we provide dog training that works , it is that simple.

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.

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.

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.

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.
