Resource Guarding Training

If your dog tends to growl, snap or bite when guarding possessions, you should consult with a dog trainer, particularly if you have children who may be unable to sense warning signs.

Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program

When you adopt a new puppy or dog from an animal shelter or a rescue organization, the history of your pet is generally unknown. Time, patience, and training are essential for solving potential behavior problems and getting your dog familiar with family members. Because structure is so important for dogs, starting a dog obedience class as soon as possible is a good idea.

Dog Socialization Training

Perfecting the craft of puppy socialization can be challenging, but fear not – The Dog Wizard is here to guide you! Are you ready to learn some pro tips? Begin socializing your puppy as early as possible, ideally between 3 and 12 weeks of age, by introducing them to diverse environments, unfamiliar people, other animals, dog parks, and dog daycare in a controlled manner. Ensure that your puppy training lessons are positive and stress-free. Maintain a calm demeanor and shower your dog with treats for positive interactions. Remember, patience and consistency are extremely important in this process.

Dog Aggression Training

An uncomfortable dog usually responds with intimidating or threatening behavior as a way of warning others to back off. You might feel your dog doesn’t like children when it barks loudly at your neighbors’ kids, but it’s more likely it hasn’t been socialized in these situations and is feeling stressed by the children’s loud and unpredictable behavior. At The Dog Wizard, our knowledgeable dog trainers work with you to improve communication between you and your canine companion. Once your dog knows it can trust you when you tell it that it’s safe, your pet can start responding to these situations in different ways.
