I have only great things to say about this place and everyone that works here. Fantastic obedience training experience! We chose to do 6 drop-off day sessions over 3 weeks. Kurtis, Junie, and Ben were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Junie was especially great to work with as our primary trainer! They even sent us a cute extra graduation day photo while the place was decorated for the holidays. And we plan to take advantage of the extra maintenence training sessions, and the boarding opportunity they offer as well. Looking forward to continued fun! Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing experience with The Dog Wizard dog training! Our dog, Luna, struggled with anxiety, and the results have been incredible. Gabby, our trainer, was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about Luna’s progress.
Thanks to their professional and effective dog training, Luna is now calmer and more confident. If you’re looking for expert help with dog anxiety or overall dog training, I highly recommend The Dog Wizard—especially Gabby!

Can't recommend Dog Wizard enough! Our dog, Biff, was a timid little guy who had been moved around a lot before we got him. He spent 2 weeks training with Bethany and came back with so much more confidence and less noticeable anxiety. Not gonna lie, it takes a LOT of work afterward and doing exactly what she tells you to do. It's a lot of ignoring your own instincts and, instead, speaking his language. We are so grateful she taught us that language. Since he's come home, our daily routine has been so much smoother, and it makes us both proud of him and proud of ourselves to see him thriving! We also love that they tell you that you've "joined their pack" and that there's ongoing support and boarding. Best investment you could make in your dog.

We adopted our precious Tilly from a rescue group,she had a sweet fun goofy personality .But within a week of her coming home
her behavior became overwhelming for us and our other dog.Jumping, chasing, biting..no self control,soothing or boundaries. After researching for dog behaviorists and trainers we felt that dog wizard was a good fit for us .Junie ,our trainer ,worked with us and was flexible on all of our concerns She gave ue practical advice and suggestions along with her training.We also discovered Tilly was a young puppy and not the adult we believed which gave us another perspective on training her.Tilly is now a welcome Loving member of our family who has been transformed into the fur baby we had dreamed she would be.hange We get to truly see her shine and enjoy her unique fun-loving personality.We look forward to taking advantage of the perks that The Dog Wizard offers for graduated students..especially the group dog walks...Thanks
