At The Dog Wizard Ashland, we help dogs and their owners create real, lasting change. As Ashland, Kentucky’s trusted balanced training program, we work with puppies, adult dogs, and multi-dog households through customized private lessons, structured day training, immersive Board & Train programs, and weekly graduate support classes. Clients come to us for leash pulling, reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and high-energy behavior, and stay because they see a true transformation. Through our partnership with Tin Woof Inn, we also provide boarding, daycare, and grooming in a safe, professional environment. Most importantly, we train owners alongside their dogs, giving families the tools and confidence to build a calm companion for life.

I couldn’t say enough about The Dog Wizard. From the first meeting we had about what goals we wanted for our dog to the day we picked our fur baby up, the experience was nothing less than excellent.
We met with the owner and Lauren Ross for the initial consultation and you could tell right off that they genuinely cared about the dogs and the people.
They have a high priority of exceeding all expectations of what we had thought they would deliver and they take pride in doing it.
Lauren Ross upon the drop off day, built a relationship with our dog. Upon Lauren’s visits, Maggie (our fur baby) will still greet her as family.
A big shout out of thanks to Lauren Ross for getting Maggie where she needs to be.
Honestly, I believe that you can’t go wrong with taking your dog to “The Dog Wizard” for any or all of your training needs. The Tin Woof in is also there to house and feed your baby during off hours so they always have company.
Thank you Dog Wizard once again for everything

Our Golden Retriever puppy Laken attended the 2 week board and train, and she truly came back a different dog! She learned multiple commands and is now an obedient puppy who we enjoy being around! Lauren and Amanda were amazing and we would highly recommend them! We are excited to continue to work with them through the lifetime support program they offer. Worth every penny!

We loved our experience at The Dog Wizard! Our Corgi, Ollie, learned so much. He came back to us a much calmer and more disciplined pup. He seemed to enjoy his time there, also. He made some new friends, both human and doggie. We had some hiccups in his “stay”, but the staff at TDW was excellent in taking care of both Ollie and us people. They sent Ollie home, making sure we were (almost) as trained as he was. Lauren was our trainer, and she was superb! I feel like we have new family. I am excited for our dog loving future. I highly recommend The Dog Wizard for any of your doggie needs!

I brought my puppy Anastasia for private puppy lessons, and loved it! They are all so nice, and helpful. She definitely learned a lot, so quickly! They are so good about going over what your dog struggles with, or what you feel your dog/ puppy needs to work on! Definitely recommend!
