Group Dog Training Classes

Interested in having your dog participate in group classes in Knoxville? 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 Knoxville programs include puppy lessons for dogs under five months and small group foundation courses, typically hosting five to seven dogs.

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 Knoxville 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.

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

The Dog Wizard is proud to announce that our Knoxville puppy program qualifies as an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. Once your dog has completed training, it’s eligible to attempt the AKC S.T.A.R. test for certification. You and your puppy will then be registered in official AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and awarded a commemorative medal.

Private Dog Training Lessons

If your dog benefits from more individualized coaching, The Dog Wizard in Knoxville offers custom private sessions. First, our trainers closely observe your dog to understand its habits. Next, we establish a training plan made just for them. These private lessons are available at your home or at our Knoxville facility—whichever setting feels best for your dog and you.

Specialty Dog Training

Looking for a special program for your dog? The Dog Wizard locations throughout Knoxville offer unique specialty classes: agility for energetic pups, scent work for honing detection skills, therapy prep for emotional support work, and baby prep for families expecting a child. All of our specialty classes are open to any breed and any age, and they are available for both beginners and those with prior experience.

Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking

Different dogs have different challenges that need to be worked on. Sometimes it’s digging other times it’s leash pulling. But there are many others. If you want to better understand and manage problem behaviors, you need the right targeted solutions. At The Dog Wizard, your assigned trainer will create a customized training plan that focuses on specific issues to improve your dog’s conduct.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

If you’re afraid of leaving your dog alone for extended periods of time, we get you and you’re not alone. We know that separation anxiety often leads to disruptive behaviors like chewing or barking and that can leave you feeling stressed. The good news here is that this is entirely manageable and can improve with proper training. The Dog Wizard’s program helps dogs build confidence and learn to cope with alone time, supported by expert guidance from our trainers.

Dog Socialization Training

Your dog may be the most well-mannered companion at home but all this changes as soon as they see their leash and head outside. They may experience fear or even aggression in these cases, but this is all solvable. Give your dog the gift of confidently exploring new environments. That’s our goal with The Dog Wizard’s socialization training in Knoxville. Count on our expert trainers to help with positive exposure to different settings and experiences. This way, your dog will build resilience and adaptability.

Dog Aggression Training

Aggressive behavior in dogs can cause significant household stress. Some believe that this is part of their innate personality characteristics, but our expert trainers know better. We understand that aggression is often linked to fear, poor socialization, or trauma. That’s why The Dog Wizard in Knoxville offers skilled trainers who work with you to address aggression and improve your dog's behavior for a calmer home.

Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program

Training adopted or rescue dogs requires special care and the right approach. Rest assured that the trainers at The Dog Wizard in Knoxville are experienced in this. They can help under-socialized, abused, or hyperactive dogs learn new or adapt current behaviors for greater confidence and a smoother, more joyful life together. We tailor training programs to each rescue dog’s unique history and needs for the best outcomes.
