Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Franklin
Board and Train Dog Training
Do you want to enroll your dog in training classes but don’t have time to attend? We’ve got you covered. At The Dog Wizard in Nashville, we offer board and train programs at various program lengths of stay: 7 days, 14 days or 21 days. During the program, your pet will stay with us full-time and learn directly from our dedicated, professional trainers in Nashville.

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 Nashville, 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.
American Kennel Club (AKC) Training
The Dog Wizard is pleased to share that our puppy program in Nashville 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.

Private Dog Training Lessons
Does your dog need one-on-one training support? The Dog Wizard in Nashville has you covered with our personalized, private dog training sessions. First, our professional trainers will get to know your pet’s unique habits. Then, they’ll design a training plan that meets their precise needs. These lessons may take place at your home or our facility in Nashville — wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable.

Group Dog Training Classes
Are you interested in group training in Nashville 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 Nashville include puppy classes for dogs up to 5 months of age, as well as foundation classes for small groups of five to seven.
Resource Guarding Training
The Dog Wizard in Nashville offers training to safely address and modify resource guarding to ensure peace in your home. Resource guarding is when certain dogs guard their food, toys, or favorite spots aggressively. This behavior stems from early competition with their littermates but it can be worked on with great results for your dog, you, and everyone in your household.
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 Nashville. Count on our expert trainers to help with positive exposure to different settings and experiences. This way, your dog will build resilience and adaptability.
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.
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 Nashville 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.
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.
