Cheryl Kolatorowicz

Cheryl Kolatorowicz

Trainer
About Me:
Cheryl is a natural born helper. She graduated from The Ohio State University and has been working as a nurse for the past decade but always had a passion for animals, most especially dogs. She has recently blended her love of helping and teaching with her love of dogs by joining The Dog Wizard as a trainer. Cheryl has first hand knowledge of how heart-wrenching it can be when your furbabies don’t get along and/or create chaos in your household and in your relationships. She has seen from the client side of things how magical it is when training pays off and the work you put in starts to show. She loves how rewarding it is to grow your bond and your confidence through obedience! She and her husband, Adam, are the loving parents of a Blue Heeler named Kaz and a recently adopted senior MinPin they aptly named Krusty, since he is a whopping 25 years old (according to Young Williams)! When she isn’t working, Cheryl and Adam love to go on adventures, try new craft beers, and find the best places to eat wherever they go!

Owner and Trainer
About Me:
Trent Steele is the Owner/Head Trainer of The Dog Wizard Savannah. He has been training professionally for 7 years. The way he got into training was through his own dog Alex. See, Alex was this rescue Weimaraner that Trent came across in 2009. He adopted him and it was a match. Alex started dock diving in local ponds in Knoxville, TN. They both went to a DockDogs event in North Carolina. They became hooked. They have been across the country competing as well as started a club, Smoky Mountain DockDogs, in Knoxville. They met a lot of people, including the ones who started The Dog Wizard. He joined them, and the rest is history. Trent currently owns Knoxville, Savannah, Tri-Cities, Huntsville, Maryville, and East Memphis He has one dog now named Camille (pictured). She travels everywhere he goes. Camille is the demo dog. She loves dock diving (personal best 25’4”), frisbee, and long walks on the beach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with a dog training program through The Dog Wizard Knoxville?

The Dog Wizard Knoxville offers a free evaluation. Most locations will even come to you to do one! This enables our trainers to meet you and your dog, go over your training goals and find a program that works for you. Give us a call and we will help you set one up.

What methods do you use in your dog training?

The Dog Wizard trainers are well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars. We know that not all dogs do well with every tool and we will help you decide what tool is best for your dog as well as what tools you’re comfortable with using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you’re comfortable in using will be the one you’re most consistent in using and that’s what’s most important to us.

When is it too late to train a dog?

It is never too late to start teaching your dog new habits. It will take more time and effort than teaching a new puppy but you will love the outcome.

How long does it take to train a dog?

In order to know how long it will take to train your dog, we will need to do a free consultation. During your consultation, we will get to understand what you are looking to gain from the training as well as evaluate your dog to see what we will need to do to get him where you would like him to be. At that point, we will be able to give you a timeline for his training.

How much does it cost to train a dog?

We do not have a one size fits all approach to training. Each dog owner team that has a free evaluation will have a customized program designed to fit your specific needs. Because of this, individualized system pricing varies. Give us a call and we will help you set one up

Additional questions? We'd love to help.
