Bethany did a wonderful job with our very reactive dog. My girlfriend and I opted to do the day board combined with training afterwords. We have tried to get our dog trained through PetSmart and another private trainer and never really had success. Bethany did a great job helping us with our insecurities as dog owners, but also did a great job building our dog’s confidence so she could be less reactive to the things of the unknown around her. Whilst teaching us a few things at a time, she was teaching our dogter all the tools necessary to be successful. Our dog has had reduced anxiety, is more confident, more obedient, and Bethany even was able to get her to be playing around other dogs. The dog wizard is the BEST handsdown and I truly believe that their pricing is beyond worth it due to the success that we have seen. We are even going to start partaking on the every other Saturday dog support that they provide for a lifetime after you purchase their training program. The one we paid for costed us $2100 which felt steep, but now seems was underpriced for the results we got! Great job Bethany and thank you to all of the Dog Wizard team for taking care of our puppy, reassuring our validity as dog parents, and always being on top of communication in a kind and warmly matter.

We had a great experience working with Bethany! My husband and I never had dogs before we brought Ace into our family. We attended puppy training class to build some skills but after months of trying to maintain the skills, we realized that Ace was still missing some foundational training. We knew the best thing for Ace and us was to have him work with the pros - and Bethany was just that! She helped Ace with leash pulling, jumping, barking, his confidence, and more. When we picked Ace up from Board and Train, she took extra time to make sure that we were equipped with the skills to maintain and expand upon Ace’s training. We know we can reach out to her if we have questions in the future, and are excited to attend Dog Wizard pack walks!

We were lucky enough to work with Bethany for our black lab mix Phoenix (1.5 years old and has a lot of energy!). We chose the 6 day-day train and were impressed every evening after her training when she returned home and showed us what she learned. Our Phoenix came to us from the shelter and has a lot of fear around men, including my partner. Bethany’s work with Phoenix had helped her feel safer with him and we’ve seen a marked improvement in her comfort level when I’m not home. We still have a long way to go, but I’m very thankful we chose The Dog Wizard for our training.

We did the intensive training of 2 days a week for 3 weeks with our young dog Buddy. The trainers calm knowledgeable and experience with dogs was amazing! We would highly recommend her for any challenging dog!
