Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Lafayette

Puppy Training Programs

There’s no doubt puppies are full of energy. While this playfulness provides plenty of entertainment, it can also lead to behavioral problems. From chewing furniture to play biting, there are all sorts of mischief for young puppies to get into. That’s why at The Dog Wizard in Walnut Creek, we offer comprehensive puppy training. These lessons teach puppies essential skills (such as obedience commands, leash walking and socialization), helping ensure they grow into well-behaved adults.

Private Dog Training Lessons

Does your dog need one-on-one training support? The Dog Wizard in Walnut Creek has you covered with our personalized, private dog training sessions. First, our professional trainers will get to know your pet’s unique habits. Then, they’ll design a training plan that meets their precise needs. These lessons may take place at your home or our facility in Walnut Creek — wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable.

Lifetime Support

It’s one thing for your dog to learn new skills. It’s another for your dog to retain those skills for years. At The Dog Wizard in Walnut Creek, we offer lifetime support as part of our training programs. After your dog graduates, you can continue to bring it in for weekly group classes. These sessions offer a chance to reinforce skills, make new friends in Walnut Creek and strengthen the unique bond between the pet and pet parent.

Dog Day Training

Finding time to train your dog can be difficult. If you’re too busy during the day, you might benefit from The Dog Wizard Day Training program in Walnut Creek. Throughout the day, your pet will work with a trainer to improve behavior. Between day schools, you’ll enjoy a private lesson in the comfort of your own home. Depending on your and your dog’s needs, you may choose between 6-day and 15-day programs.

Dog Aggression Training

Stressed dogs often display warning signals like growling or posturing to create distance. Barking at children might seem like dislike, but usually reflects inadequate socialization and overwhelm from their energy. The Dog Wizard's skilled trainers collaborate with you to enhance dog-owner dialogue. Building trust in your reassurance allows calmer responses to triggers.

Resource Guarding Training

Growling, snapping, or biting over items signals a need for professional help, especially in homes with children who miss cues. The Dog Wizard addresses these instincts safely.

Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program

Adopting from shelters or rescues often means unknown backgrounds for your new dog. Patience, time, and structured training resolve emerging issues and build family familiarity. Dogs thrive with routine, so beginning obedience classes promptly proves wise. The Dog Wizard tailors support for smooth integration.

Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking

Positive reinforcement shapes desirable dog conduct effectively. Owners reward good actions to encourage repetition. This technique reliably resolves common behavioral challenges.

Dog Socialization Training

Mastering puppy socialization takes effort, but The Dog Wizard provides expert direction! Ready for key strategies? Introduce puppies early, from 3 to 12 weeks, to varied settings, strangers, animals, parks, and daycare under supervision. Keep sessions upbeat and low-stress. Stay composed, reward good encounters generously. Patience and steadiness drive results.
