Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Fruitville

Board and Train Dog Training

Do you want to enroll your dog in training classes but don’t have time to attend? We’ve got you covered. At The Dog Wizard in Sarasota, we offer board and train programs at various program lengths of stay: 7 days, 14 days or 21 days. During the program, your pet will stay with us full-time and learn directly from our dedicated, professional trainers in Sarasota.

Private Dog Training Lessons

Does your dog need one-on-one training support? The Dog Wizard in Sarasota 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 Sarasota — wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable.

Group Dog Training Classes

Are you interested in group training in Sarasota for your dog? We offer group dog training classes that cover everything your dog needs to know, from obedience commands to housebreaking. In addition to learning new skills, it’ll have a chance to socialize with fellow canines. Our programs at The Dog Wizard in Sarasota include puppy classes for dogs up to 5 months of age, as well as foundation classes for small groups of five to seven.

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 Sarasota, 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 Sarasota and strengthen the unique bond between the pet and pet parent.

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 Sarasota, 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.

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.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

Managing separation anxiety proves challenging and occasionally exasperating. Yet dogs can conquer it and gain assurance. Rooted in fear, solutions target the core unease. Comfort with solitude enables true change. The Dog Wizard's program boosts self-reliance, fortifies bonds, and equips pets to handle daily pressures effectively.

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.
