TCOTC is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening the relationship between you and your dog. We provide quality training in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities in basic obedience, agility, flyball, tracking and therapy dog work, using principles of positive reinforcement and operant conditioning. Positive reinforcement training uses praise and/or treats to reward your dog for doing something you want him/her to do. Because the reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing behavior. Additionally, this method can strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

We offer Board & Trains, Private lessons, In-home lessons, Day Care, Day Training, Tracking, Detection & many other Speciality programs. Our Obedience B&T Program consist of 2 week basic, 3 week intermedie, 4 week advanced, and a 6 week Master Program. We have service dog programs with certified papers. When it comes to training, we believe that establishing communication for both the dog and owner is the key to success. We’ve developed a learning method based initially on positive reinforcement (food, toys and praise). At the appropriate stage of training, we use negative reinforcers to teach the dog consequences of unwanted behavior. In the end, it’s about creating a mutual understanding between dog and owner that will last a lifetime.

At The Dog Wizard Twin Cities, we take the guesswork out of dog training by creating clear, proven training plans tailored to each dog and family. We help puppies and adult dogs build safe, reliable obedience through private lessons, group classes, and immersive Board & Train programs. Using positive reinforcement, fair corrections, and preventive structure, we address everything from leash pulling and impulse control to reactivity, fear, and anxiety. Training doesn’t end with the dog, we coach owners through follow-ups and alumni support classes so skills transfer into real life. Our goal is simple: confident dogs, informed owners, and lasting results across the Twin Cities.

Great things happen when we study dogs and teach ourselves. Our puppy classes teach dog owners to transform into dog parents. Learning how to responsively relate and communicate in a meaningful way with our puppies creates amazing outcomes. For those looking for puppy kindergarten, obedience or puppy socialization classes, you have come to the right place. :)
