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.

Group Dog Training Classes

In the dynamic world of canine companionship, group dog training classes offer an avenue for teaching obedience while establishing a solid bond between you and your furry friend. It’s a universe where dogs don’t just learn to sit, stay, or roll over; they develop lifelong behavior skills. This vibrant learning environment fosters a synergy of cooperation, communication, and respect between pets and their owners.

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

Initiate with our S.T.A.R. Puppy program. This foundational course sets the stage for subsequent AKC obedience training. With hands-on sessions, interactive modules, and a focus on real-world scenarios, your pup is poised for growth. Our seasoned trainers provide personalized feedback, ensuring a lasting bond between you and your canine.

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 Separation Anxiety Training

Separation anxiety is a common issue for dogs, and many dogs suffering from it develop behavior problems, such as destructive behavior or incessant whining and barking when you leave home. There is hope for improvement, though. With help, your anxious dog can learn how to handle being left alone for short periods of time. Our dog separation anxiety training can help area pet owners teach their dogs to be more self-confident and secure. Professional dog trainers at The Dog Wizard will provide in-depth knowledge about treating separation anxiety in dogs.

Resource Guarding Training

Some dogs are aggressive when guarding food, toys, crates, and places they like to spend a lot of time, such as a couch or bed. This type of guarding behavior can develop instinctually among puppies if they grew up having to compete with others in their litter for food.

Dog Socialization Training

Envision your canine companion fearlessly exploring their surroundings, unburdened by anxiety or aggression. Incredible, isn’t it? That’s the empowering transformation The Dog Wizard’s trainers aim to achieve! Through positive interactions with different environments and experiences, dogs can build confidence and learn to navigate the world easily. They’re able to handle stress better and adapt to changes more quickly. Early life socialization doesn’t just make a dog easier to manage; it significantly enhances their quality of life, paving the way for a happier, more content pet.

Dog Aggression Training

Living with an aggressive dog can cause stress and tension for the entire household. Although your first instinct might be to assume aggression is an innate part of your dog’s personality, in many cases, their behavior is caused by poor socialization, fear, stress, or bad experiences.
