Daycare runs from 6:30am to 7:00pm, Monday-Friday. Drop-off times are between 6:30am9:30am, and pick-up times are between 4:30pm7:00pm. At this time, we do not offer half days.

Highly recommend the folks at Dog Wizard Westlake. Kurtis and his staff are obviously committed to bringing out the best in every dog they train. Kira has been wonderful working with Poppi, the little mixed breed that I adopted three months ago. Thanks to private lessons with Kira, Poppi is learning to be the best version of herself. I love that the lessons are tailored to an individual dog’s needs and not one-size-fits-all. For instance, Poppi gets the chance to meet other dogs in a controlled, safe environment and is learning not to react aggressively when she’s on her leash. Perhaps just as importantly, Kira is teaching me to be the kind of “mom” that Poppi needs!

My husband and I worked with Adam to train our dog, Kylo, and the difference in just 5 one-on-one sessions has been incredible! Adam was very knowledgeable and thorough in teaching us the correct ways to continue Kylo's at home throughout each week. We are looking forward to follow up sessions with Adam and are excited to see how much Kylo has improved already!

Had an absolute great experience with Dog Wizard westlake ! Kurtis was very welcoming and made sure we were understanding of how the program works and what to expect ! And now to the trainer Adam..WOW !! What a trainer , I've never met anyone who can speak dog language better than him. Quote (Gaston Phoebus's) our boy Benny absolutely loves Adam and listened so well, Adam wasn't just a trainer but a friend to us and Benny and helped us learn how to positively work with our boy and made sure we understood how to continue practicing the lessons taught in class! We could not be any happier with the end results and all of the great perks along with the training results!

The Dog Wizard is amazing! We have 2 Border Collie - Chihuahua mix litter mates already two and a half years old. Kurtis and Kyra (sp?) are fantastic! We were startled by the results from the first day - and great progress through remaining sessions. Their techniques are effective and they were so patient and generous as they imparted what progress was made at the end of each session so we could continue with the same techniques and commands at home. We are happier and so are the dogs. I HIGHLY recommend Dog Wizard!!
