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.

Lauren and Amanda were fantastic with our Tucker! ❤️ He completed a two week board and train in June 2023 and we began Freedom training in October 2023. They have been SO patient and kind. Not only to Tucker, but with my husband and I as well. Our training experience had been individualized to Tucker’s behavioral needs and we have been so happy with our experience. Not to mention that we LOVE the continuous support we recieve through weekly support classes. Thankful for the Dog Wizard team in Ashland! 🐾

If I could give them 10 starts I would. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. My dog is a completely different dog after training. My dog, Duke, had some reactivity to other dogs. Him and one of my other dogs were starting to get into fights. He does so much better now. We haven’t had a single incident since he graduated training. Not only did they teach my dogs new skills they also thought me the skills to continue to build with him. The dog wizard is the best.

Lauren did great with my 10 year old dachshund! In 8 weeks he went from not being able to be in the yard without barking to walking around in stores calmly with people! I cannot recommend them enough and will be signing my puppy up next!

The Dog Wizard Ashland is the best! It has been such a positive experience for Hank and I. Lauren is wonderful to work with and answers all my questions. I feel like we learned so much in a short time and have the tools now to do much more. If you have a puppy you’re considering training, do it! You won’t regret it!

My boyfriend and I signed our puppy up for puppy training with the dog wizard company to fix some behavioral issues, start learning loose leash walking, and general commands. After 5 weeks of classes we couldn’t be happier with the results! Lauren was our trainer and she was the BEST! Our puppy still goes through the motions everyday with what Lauren taught us and it has given us a completely new puppy!
