Romario Romain

Owner/ Head Trainer

Romario graduated in 2019 with a B.S in Biology, double concentrating in Biomedical Sciences and Zoology. He has always owned and trained dogs, but became seriously invested in the art of dog training when a challenging Cane Corso came into his family's life. While this usually presents a problem for most, working with this challenging dog presented a hidden talent which then blossomed into a passion. Soon after, he made a huge career change from a laboratory research associate, to full time dog trainer where he also developed a love for working dogs. Since then he has become a certified decoy and plans on trialing his personal dogs . His background in science has made it easy to understand how dogs learn and practically apply the theory to acquire target behaviors.

Romario believes that dogs with the right balance of structure and freedom can live happy, healthy, well fulfilled lives which then allows our furry companions to be a greater part of our lives. During his experience as a trainer Romario has worked with many different breeds, sizes and temperaments of dogs both on a professional and voluntary basis. He has also been a part of different dog sports and enthusiasts clubs. He has also had experience with canine enrichment and fitness. His goal is to empower clients with the knowledge and confidence to be great and successful dog owners.

What a great experience! We adopted our dog from the Humane Society. River had abandonment issues, anxiety, and knew zero commands. She destroyed her crate and our bathroom floor when we tried to leave her alone. Tiffany, our trainer, took River for 3 weeks, worked her magic! She came back to us knowing how to calm herself, no longer afraid of her crate, learned basic commands and manners. Tiffany was so loving with her and River obviously felt very secure. Tiffany spent time explaining all the commands to me, taught me how to do everything, and provided me a daily practice session to use with River. I couldn't be happier with The Dog Wizard and the results with River. She's a happy, confident girl and I'm a happy dog owner.

We had such an awesome experience with The Dog Wizard. We started with 6 training sessions at home and then did a 7 day board and train for our foster dog Amani.
Amani has transformed significantly and has become a much more well rounded dog. This will definitely make him more adoptable and ready for his forever home.
I love that they offer continued support classes that we can attend to help with any challenges we may face down the road.
We highly recommend Ro and Tiffany. They are amazing at what they do and are very knowledgeable on the subject.

We had an amazing experience with Ro and the Dog Wizard!! Ro helped us address a lot of behaviors that had room for improvement with our dog, Newt. He worked on anxiety management, over-excitability, greetings, walk etiquette, and overall obedience with our dog. He was incredibly patient with my boyfriend and I and included us in Newt’s training every step of the way, which we greatly appreciated! We were in classes just as much as Newt was :) I can’t recommend the Dog Wizard’s services enough!

We rescued our girl Rue from IACS where she had very little training. She had never been given structure, did not walk well on a leash, and was reactive to anything that moved. The Dog Wizard was highly recommended to us from a previous client and we reached out to Ro. From the first call, Ro listened to us and our concerns and it was evident that he is a very experienced dog trainer. Rue stayed with Ro for the 14 day jumpstart program. We received updates via text and social media posts and quickly saw improvements. In less than a week she was loose leash walking and interacting/playing with other dogs. We had in person training halfway through the program where we got to see first hand the progress and we were blown away. She seemed happy, less anxious, and calm! The second week Rue and Ro worked on E-collar training and made even more progress with some off leash skills. She’s been home now almost 1.5 weeks. We’ve been able to take her out in the community to continue her adventures, something we weren’t sure we would ever be able to do. Ro and Maddie have continued to be supportive and available for questions. You can tell they really care for your pup like their own. We look forward to continuing Rue’s training through pack walks and daycare. This has been the best investment we could have done for Rue!

This team in Indy are great trainers! We had Tabitha as our main trainer along with a couple visits from Romario. Both of them are great at their jobs and did a great job of giving my wife and I the tools to train our dog correctly. No matter the age of your dog, this team can help train your dog into a good boy/girl!

About The Dog Wizard Indianapolis

Our dog training goes beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, and Down. Our approach focuses on helping your dog make better choices and respond to you instead of their impulses.

We cover all the essential obedience commands you need to communicate effectively with your dog. But more importantly, we teach your dog to stay engaged and follow through with these commands, even in the most distracting environments.

Our goal is to enhance your dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior, not just a few tricks they perform when they feel like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dog Wizard Indianapolis offers a free evaluation. Most locations will even come to you to do one! This enables our trainers to meet you and your dog, go over your training goals and find a program that works for you. Give us a call and we will help you set one up.
The Dog Wizard trainers are well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars. We know that not all dogs do well with every tool and we will help you decide what tool is best for your dog as well as what tools you’re comfortable with using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you’re comfortable in using will be the one you’re most consistent in using and that’s what’s most important to us.
It is never too late to start teaching your dog new habits. It will take more time and effort than teaching a new puppy but you will love the outcome.

In order to know how long it will take to train your dog, we will need to do a free consultation. During your consultation, we will get to understand what you are looking to gain from the training as well as evaluate your dog to see what we will need to do to get him where you would like him to be. At that point, we will be able to give you a timeline for his training.

We do not have a one size fits all approach to training. Each dog owner team that has a free evaluation will have a customized program designed to fit your specific needs. Because of this, individualized system pricing varies. Give us a call and we will help you set one up
