About The Dog Wizard - Dog & Puppy Obedience Training Fort Myers

The Dog Wizard Fort Myers helps dog owners regain control and confidence through structured training that delivers real, lasting change. We work with puppies and adult dogs through board-and-train Jumpstart programs, private lessons, day school, support classes, and ongoing daycare and boarding for graduates. Families often come to us for help with leash pulling, reactivity, anxiety, aggression, destructive behaviors, and everyday manners. Training takes place at our facility, in the home, and out in real-world environments so dogs learn to stay calm and reliable beyond the session. A key part of our process is coaching owners step by step, so progress continues long after training ends.

We have a 5 year old Corgi who has put my wife and I through the wringer. Prior to working with Bri at The Dog Wizard, he was aggressive with both dogs and people, he ruled the house, he was extremely reactive, had food aggression…. You name it. We had tried all sorts of remedies such as even putting him through training previously at “Off-Leash K9” here in Fort Myers. Never getting the change we had hoped for, we saw this training as one last effort before re-homing. I was skeptical of the results we’d see but I’m elated to share that after 3 weeks of working with our Corgi, Bri has reformed him. He no longer rules our house and we can live our lives again! We have guests over now, go for walks in public… all the normal stuff you want to be able to do with your dog! It’s a huge weight off our shoulders and we’re so happy we took the plunge.

We brought our 4 month old German Shepherd Kaya to the 2 week training program. Kat did an amazing job with her. She now walks perfect on a leash and learned basic commands! We are so happy with the results!

My dog's trainer was Kat and she did a wonderful job. I was at wits end with my dog Buddy he was so bad I had even thought of putting him down. This training was the last resort, he chased my small dogs and I was scared he would hurt them, jumped on me and almost knocked me down, ran at me injuring my eye, destroyed everything in sight. I have never had a dog so bad. He wasn't mean but destructive. After his training he was a whole lot better so that now he is part of the family. I can now walk him without him yanking my arm. I no longer believe getting him was a mistake. Thank you dog wizard and his trainer Kat

We had two 1yr old dogs in the jumpstart programs and what a difference it made!! Bri and Kat transformed our dogs into confident, obedient little friends! Prior to the program, we were really struggling with potty training, leash-pulling, and crate training. Now, all those problems are gone! I loved that the trainers came to my home to teach me how to continue my dogs’ training- because I agree that it’s important to utilize what they learned and continue training daily at home. We also love the doggy daycare to give them social interaction with other dogs throughout the week. 10/10, so glad I found this company and I’m very thankful for Bri and Kat!

Bri at Dog Wizard Fort Myers is absolutely incredible. She worked with our two Labs, Luna and Nova, over the summer, and the results have been fantastic. They’re so well behaved now, and we feel confident knowing exactly what to do when those occasional dog behaviors pop up. Traveling with them has become a joy instead of a chore. We can take them to dog-friendly restaurants and on trips without stress—they listen, settle, and stay calm no matter what’s going on around them. The best example? While we were traveling, a few dogs nearby got loose and were acting up. Luna and Nova came straight to me, sat, and waited quietly until it was over. That kind of response only happens with great training, and that’s all thanks to Bri. She truly speaks the language of dogs and connects with them in a way that’s rare to find. If you’re in the Fort Myers area and want real, lasting results with your dogs, Bri and the Dog Wizard team are definitely the ones to call.
