Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Oak Ridge
Specialty Dog Training
Are you looking for a unique experience for your dog? Many of The Dog Wizard locations in Knoxville offer specialty classes: agility (for high-energy dogs), scent (for improving scent detection), therapy prep (for therapy work) and baby prep classes (for new parents). Classes are open to all breeds and are available at both beginner and intermediate levels.
Group Dog Training Classes
Are you interested in group training in Knoxville for your dog? We offer group dog training classes that cover everything your dog needs to know, from obedience commands to housebreaking. In addition to learning new skills, it’ll have a chance to socialize with fellow canines. Our programs at The Dog Wizard in Knoxville include puppy classes for dogs up to 5 months of age, as well as foundation classes for small groups of five to seven.
American Kennel Club (AKC) Training
The Dog Wizard is pleased to share that our puppy program in Knoxville is also an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. This means that, after passing the program, your dog will be eligible to test for the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate. In addition to receiving certification, you and your puppy will be registered in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and receive a display medal.
Dog Day Training
Finding time to train your dog can be difficult. If you’re too busy during the day, you might benefit from The Dog Wizard Day Training program in Knoxville. Throughout the day, your pet will work with a trainer to improve behavior. Between day schools, you’ll enjoy a private lesson in the comfort of your own home. Depending on your and your dog’s needs, you may choose between 6-day and 15-day programs.
Puppy Training Programs
There’s no doubt puppies are full of energy. While this playfulness provides plenty of entertainment, it can also lead to behavioral problems. From chewing furniture to play biting, there are all sorts of mischief for young puppies to get into. That’s why at The Dog Wizard in Knoxville, we offer comprehensive puppy training. These lessons teach puppies essential skills (such as obedience commands, leash walking and socialization), helping ensure they grow into well-behaved adults.
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 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.
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.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
Adopting from shelters or rescues often means unknown backgrounds for your new dog. Patience, time, and structured training resolve emerging issues and build family familiarity. Dogs thrive with routine, so beginning obedience classes promptly proves wise. The Dog Wizard tailors support for smooth integration.
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.
