I would highly recommend the dog wizard Westlake. They took such good care of Mimi and she has become a much better version of herself. Thank you Gabby for taking such good care of Mimi.

Emily did a wonderful job in training our pup (and us) in a short time. Her knowledge helped us understand his behaviors and how to correct the ones we don’t want! We are very pleased with the results!

The Dog Wiazard & Gabby have been amazing in training my puppy, Bexley! Their patient and knowledgeable trainers used positive reinforcement, and I was impressed by how quickly she learned. The training boosted her confidence, improved her manners, and strengthened our bond. They were always available for support and made the process easy to follow. Highly recommend!

Our dog Max recently went thru the training program. What a difference! He is so much better behaved. He seems happier and he lost ; 5 pounds. We learned how to work with him and his resource guarding is so much better! Gabby is the best. Always answered our questions and took time with us! Extremely happy! Great program
