I can’t recommend Oliver enough for the 21-day board and train program and for private lessons. He goes above and beyond to make sure you and your dog(s) can succeed together. He is a highly skilled and attentive trainer who can identify issues, provide adaptable long term solutions, and works with you to implement those solutions. We came to Dog Wizard as a last attempt effort to save our reactive dog. We’d been through two other training programs prior to meeting Oliver with limited success. Our dog would randomly attack our more submissive dog and had become possessive of us. We didn’t know what to do with her. She also attacked our new German Shepherd rescue causing him to be extremely reactive towards her. We were afraid we’d have to re-home one or both after our vet recommended doing so. Oliver reassured us otherwise and was very upfront about his expectations and what was realistic. He truly cares about your dog(s) and personally invests in them so they can be the best they can be. And because he does that, we (the dog owners) are able to be the best we can be for our furry family members. Investing in that type of relationship building and trust is worth every dollar. Book your dog’s evaluation. I guarantee it will make you a better dog parent too.

Thank you to the dog wizard and Oliver for working with my sweet Athena during her 21 day board and train! I was so impressed by her progress. Oliver made a home visit and spent time reinforcing what Athena had learned and integrating that into her home environment. I am so impressed by the knowledge they have and love for our dogs!
