  • Board and train

The Dog Wizard’s Training Methods & Techniques

The Dog Wizard employs a variety of training methods and tools to help your pup reach its goals. We have the knowledge and experience to help you choose the right training tool and best method to help you reach your goals.

These methods ensure an effective and well-rounded training experience at the training camp, following a sound training philosophy.

Each of these tools and techniques serves a specific purpose in the training process, from guiding your dog’s actions to discouraging unwanted behaviors. Employing a balanced approach and suitable tools, we aid in effective communication with your dog while nurturing a durable, strong bond.

Board & Train vs. Private Lessons: Which One Is Right for You?

Selecting the appropriate training option for your dog hinges on your lifestyle and objectives. Our Board & Train Program is a fantastic option for busy dog owners who need comprehensive education for their pet and noticeable improvements in their dog’s behavior. During this program, your dog stays with the trainers for a set period, learning essential skills and behaviors.

Conversely, our Private Lessons program provides customized instruction and an opportunity to work with your dog in an environment they are familiar with. Both options are designed to help you learn how to effectively communicate with your pup and equip them with the skills to be successful.

Ultimately, the choice between Board & Train and Private Lessons depends on what best suits your needs and your dog’s personality.
