Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Smyrna

Puppy Training Programs

Puppies are absolute bundles of joy teeming with boundless energy as part of their playful nature. This can be entertaining but small, seemingly unnoticeable problems can lead to long-term challenges like chewing or nipping that carry over into adulthood. At The Dog Wizard in Murfreesboro, our thorough puppy training covers everything needed to manage these behaviors. Our courses teach vital puppy skills to help them mature into balanced adult dogs. Examples of these critical skills include following commands, walking on leash, and proper social skills.

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 Murfreesboro 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.

Group Dog Training Classes

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

Board and Train Dog Training

Pet parents: would you like your dog to receive professional training but you simply don’t have the time to attend classes with them? The Dog Wizard in Murfreesboro can help. We have several board and train options that allow your pet to stay with us for either 7, 14, or 21 days. Choose your training time frame and let our certified trainers do their magic. While on-site, your dog will receive daily hands-on instruction from our skilled trainers in Murfreesboro. When the program is over, you’ll be amazed at the transformation. And don’t forget our lifetime support that’s there to help maintain your dog’s progress.

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

The Dog Wizard is proud to announce that our Murfreesboro 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.

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

Positive reinforcement training is a vital tool in fostering good behavior in dogs. This approach emphasizes rewarding the dog for positive behavior, encouraging them to repeat it. This method has proven to be an easy way to address several behavioral issues successfully.

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.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

Learning how to deal with a dog with separation anxiety can be difficult and sometimes frustrating. Fortunately, dogs with separation anxiety can overcome their issues and become more self-confident. Because these types of dog behavior problems are caused by fear, the key to solving them is to address the underlying nervousness. Behavior modification can only happen once your dog feels comfortable about being left alone. A training program that builds your dog’s self-confidence and reinforces the bond between you and your pet helps your new puppy or dog overcome fears and learn how to cope with everyday stress that can help treat separation anxiety.

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.

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.
