Collin & Madeline McCaskill
Owners
Hi everyone! We’re Collin and Madeline, proud owners of The Dog Wizard Southlake!
Both born and raised in Arlington, Texas, we’ve been married for five amazing years. We actually met back in high school on the golf team and later both attended Texas A&M University.
We’ve both been lifelong dog owners and lovers, and our two sweet Cockapoos, big brother Archie (4) and little sister Winnie (1), are our whole worlds. They’re the inspiration behind our passion for helping other dog parents like us.
When we’re not training pups or spending time with our families, you can find Collin rooting on all the DFW sports teams, golfing, or catching live music. As for Madeline, she loves trying new restaurants, cooking up a storm, and spending time with our fur babies.
We’re beyond excited to bring our love for dogs to the DFW community and help you create stronger bonds with your pups!
Amy Young
Trainer
Hi there!
My name is Amy Young, I’m 23 years old and I’m the lead trainer at Dog Wizard. My passion has always revolved around animals, I have two cats (Mochi and Bug) and a dog (Lando )! They’re my children and the loves of my life.
I spend the majority of my free time fostering animals, and hanging out at home with my “kids.” My goal has always been to advocate for dog’s and cat’s because they don’t have the ability to advocate for themselves.
I’ve always wanted to spend my life bettering the lives of the animals around me. I moved into the animal industry from the service industry, I was a fine dining server for 4 years. Which I absolutely loved, but didn’t serve my passion to the fullest extent.
As your dog trainer, I promise to be available to you as much as possible. While making sure you’re comfortable with the training process, and above all that your dog is comfortable with the training process. This is supposed to be a fun, encouraging process and I want to be your biggest cheerleader!
My goal is to fit your specific lifestyle needs with the specific lifestyle needs of your dog. We want to foster an environment of harmony, and success, while also building your dog’s confidence as well as your own!
Lauren Harper
Administrative & Customer Experience Specialist
Hi, I’m Lauren Harper, a proud DFW native, administrative assistant, and social media manager for The Dog Wizard in Southlake!
At The Dog Wizard, I keep things organized behind the scenes and help share the amazing transformations of our dogs and their humans through social media. Whether I’m coordinating schedules or capturing tail-wagging moments, I’m all about making the experience smooth, positive, and engaging for everyone involved.
When I’m not working, you can find me outdoors hiking, horseback riding, or enjoying local bands and open mics. I love hearing people’s stories, learning what makes each dog unique, and being part of a team that helps build lasting bonds between dogs and their humans.
See What Other Dog Owners are Saying
So I recently took in my puppy of one year Duke to Dog Wizard and I was shocked at how well he listened to Amy the trainer. They know what they’re doing over there and I will be returning in the future. Highly recommend to any “naughty dog” owners!
About The Dog Wizard Southlake
Our dog training goes beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, and Down. Our approach focuses on helping your dog make better choices and respond to you instead of their impulses.
We cover all the essential obedience commands you need to communicate effectively with your dog. But more importantly, we teach your dog to stay engaged and follow through with these commands, even in the most distracting environments.
Our goal is to enhance your dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior, not just a few tricks they perform when they feel like it.
