They are really knowledgeable about all kinds of dogs, I can tell! My dog is a senior (11yo), with separation anxiety and some bad behaviors, such as barking, wanting to attack other dogs… my dog stayed with Glenda for a week since I have a busy schedule, and she helped me not only understanding everything about his age and respecting that he’s a senior but also teaching me on how to be the actual boss in my house. I know it’s an on-going training and it’s too soon to say, but so far I really liked it. She gave me clear instructions, she’s always available when I need and the communication overall with Glenda, Mia and Thiago has been great! It’s been 3 weeks since I started with the trainings and I’ve been feeling confident and WAY less anxious about him! It was a pleasure and it’s completely worth the money. Totally recommend it.

Mia was so wonderful training Buddy. She knew just what to do in a loving way. He was so excited to learn from her. Because of her he got adopted into a family with another dog. He is loved and happy in his new home because of Mia’s training.

My dog Stella (Australian Shepard) suffers from severe anxiety while walking. Whenever she saw a cat or dog she would begin yelping and causing a scene. This has been going on for years and I feel like I’ve tried everything to fix this issue. She also had some issues with over excitement at guests coming over. After training with Glenda, I can confidentially say that Stella is much better and barely yaps or screams at other animals. She also reacts nicely to guests and in general is much more obedient and calm. Thanks to Glenda, my relationship with my dog feels stronger and less stressful.

Tinto went for the 7-day jumpstart with Glenda and not only had a blast but learned so much! He is a rescue and had some behavioral issues but he came back much calmer and obedient. Not only that but the support she gave us after the 7 days was amazing! She was always very responsive and helpful even afterwards. 10/10

Glenda is the best dog trainer and Ive had some trainers before. The minute she and Lily met they had a great connection. Glenda was patient and really took the time to explain step by step on how to walk with Lily without her pulling me. She's a very strong dog and now I can walk her without stess. Also, Lily barks at othet dogs and now she is calmer around them. It was such a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her. She has great techniques and I follow everthing she taught me. Now Lily is a different girl. Thank you Glenda
Betty is behaving much better and I have learnt how to train her. We now enjoy our walks and she can sleep through the night in her crate🙂

We had a great experience with Glenda from The Dog Wizard! 🐾 She helped my dog so much during obedience training. Glenda was very flexible with our schedules and accommodated our needs and even took classes to real places like parks and restaurants, which made my dog’s improvement immediately. The program has its cost, but it was a good investment for our dog’s behavior and my peace of mind. They also were very flexible with ways of payments. I now feel much more comfortable taking my dog out in public. The manual and goodies we got at the end were also very helpful. My dog also received a certificate and made it official Overall, we’re very happy with the results and highly recommend Glenda! 🐕 💛

We sent our puppy Arya, who’s almost 6 months old, to stay with Glenda for a 7-day training, and I can honestly say it made such a positive difference. Arya came back noticeably calmer, more attentive, and so much more in tune with routines and boundaries, all while keeping her sweet and playful personality.
It’s clear Glenda puts so much heart and care into what she does. She created a space where Arya could learn and grow, and we felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such loving and capable hands.
If you're looking for someone who’s experienced, kind, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I absolutely recommend working with Glenda and The Dog Wizard! Arya and I are both better for it! Thanks so much!

We had a fantastic experience! Glenda was absolutely wonderful with our dog — patient, knowledgeable, and caring. Our pup learned obedience, fun tricks, and improved so much with potty training. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective dog trainer!

About The Dog Wizard Coral Gables

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 Coral Gables 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
