American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

Puppy records and awarded a commemorative medal.

Dog Day Training

Carving out time in your schedule for dog training isn’t easy. If you’re often busy during the day, The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Cincinnati could be ideal. Your dog works with a dedicated trainer over the course of the day for behavioral improvement. You also get tailored private lessons in the comfort of your own home. Our options include a 6- or 15-day program. Let your trainer help you decide, based on the main goals you’d like to achieve for your dog.

Puppy Training Programs

Puppies are absolute bundles of joy teeming with boundless energy as part of their playful nature. This can be entertaining but small, seemingly unnoticeable problems can lead to long-term challenges like chewing or nipping that carry over into adulthood. At The Dog Wizard in Cincinnati, our thorough puppy training covers everything needed to manage these behaviors. Our courses teach vital puppy skills to help them mature into balanced adult dogs. Examples of these critical skills include following commands, walking on leash, and proper social skills.

Group Dog Training Classes

Interested in having your dog participate in group classes in Cincinnati? The Dog Wizard offers group courses covering essential topics, from basic obedience to house training. Alongside new learning, your pet gets to meet and mingle with other dogs. Our Cincinnati programs include puppy lessons for dogs under five months and small group foundation courses, typically hosting five to seven dogs.

Dog Aggression Training

In some cases, your canine friend may show unexpected signs of aggression or be outright aggressive. This can make home life challenging as opposed to joyful and pleasant because an aggressive dog creates stress for everyone in the household. Despite there being some misconceptions that such behaviors are hardwired, at The Dog Wizard, we understand that they often arise from fear, stress, or lack of proper socialization. One of our certified trainers in Cincinnati can help pinpoint and address this aggression. Simply reach out to find out how the specialist dog aggression training with The Dog Wizard in Cincinnati can help resolve issues and support your dog.

Through balanced training, we encourage positive interactions and expose dogs to new environments. This way, your pet gains confidence and adaptability. 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.

Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program

If you’re the proud owner of an adopted or rescue dog, you’ll know that these pets are often accompanied by a unique set of difficulties. At The Dog Wizard in Cincinnati, our expert trainers can handle training for adopted/rescue dogs from a broad range of backgrounds. Many of these dogs are either poorly socialized or are recovering from past trauma. Our training plans for rescue dogs at The Dog Wizard in Cincinnati are customized for each canine’s personal history and behavioral needs so you can have a confident and well-mannered companion throughout your life together.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

At The Dog Wizard, we know that some dogs experience separation anxiety. When this happens, they tend to react with destructive habits or excessive vocalizing. However, from years of experience, we also know that improvements in these behaviors are very possible. With dedicated support, anxious dogs can build the confidence to spend time alone. The Dog Wizard’s separation anxiety training in Cincinnati guides pet owners in helping their dogs become more assured when solo. Our experts share valuable knowledge on managing separation anxiety.

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.
