FirstBarkWe were struggling with naughty behaviors from our more recent rescue dog. Adam is an amazing trainer and was very patient with our pup. Also, the techniques, advice, and education he provided us was invaluable. We made great progress in just a handful of lessons. I would highly recommend him and the Dog Wizard team.

Kurtis was very thorough when discussing the training with us. Gabby trained Jax and she was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. She kept us up-to-date on his training. I would highly recommend this company to everybody after seeing what progress my Chihuahua has done in the little time that they had him.
Instructor Gabrielle was great! She was very informative and understanding to all dogs and owners individual situation. I have a doberman pinscher puppy and putting her through training with Dog Wizard has made a huge difference with her behavior. I don't know who learned more me or my dog! Dog wizard teaches owners the skills to continue to train your dog to be their best!
Absolutely recommend the Dog Wizard to anyone in need of top notch training!! All of the trainers are super knowledge and do amazing with the dogs. The continued support after training has been a game changer. We are so grateful to them, and Lucille loves her new pack 😊

The Dog Wizard was heaven sent. Hi, my name is Kathy and my little girl is Bella. I was at my wits end with Bella and my mobility is not so good. So I called and talked to Kurtis who had a calming affect on my nerves after a few calls. So I decided to give it a try and man I'm glad I did. Adam was Bella's trainer, he taught her how to socialize, follow commands and enjoy being her. She met many doggy friends and even found a bestie. Thank you Kurtis and Adam for all your expertise training, videos, and love. You're the best, peace and love Bella and Kathy
