Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Maywood
Puppy Training Programs
No matter what breed they are, when left untrained, puppies get up to all sorts of mischief. This is fine when they’re young and learning, of course, but not so much when they’re older and bigger. That’s why it’s important to take them to dog training classes to teach them what is and isn’t okay right from the beginning. Our puppy training programs are designed to help your furry friend develop good habits, manners and social skills.
Lifetime Support
The success of your dog depends on the commitment of your follow through after graduation. We not only teach your dog the skills it needs to be well-behaved, but we teach you, your spouse, your kids, and anyone else how to best use those skills so you can have a long, healthy,and happy relationship with your dog. We will give you all the tools necessary to make things clear and simple to make sure everything sticks long term. While we have taught your dog a foundation, it ultimately comes down to your (and your family’s) relationship with your furry friend to ensure your new and improved family member continues to improve. We are successful because we provide dog training that works , it is that simple.

Dog Day Training
Our dog day training program promises a comprehensive education for your dog. This stimulating experience covers various areas, including basic obedience classes, teaching tricks, and achieving and maintaining optimum health. A training example is counter-surfing. Put an end to your dog jumping on the kitchen counter to steal food!
Private Dog Training Lessons
One-on-one training sessions allow our professional dog trainers to tailor programs effectively, addressing each dog’s behavior and unique needs. Private training allows for a more focused and personalized approach, ensuring your dog receives the individual attention required to achieve optimal results. Flexibility is another key benefit of private training. At The Dog Wizard, we understand that your schedule may be busy. That’s why we offer customized scheduling options, allowing you to choose training sessions that fit seamlessly into your routine.
Dog Aggression Training
Aggressive behavior in dogs can cause significant household stress. Some believe that this is part of their innate personality characteristics, but our expert trainers know better. We understand that aggression is often linked to fear, poor socialization, or trauma. That’s why The Dog Wizard in Elmhurst offers skilled trainers who work with you to address aggression and improve your dog's behavior for a calmer home.
Dog Separation Anxiety Training
If you’re afraid of leaving your dog alone for extended periods of time, we get you and you’re not alone. We know that separation anxiety often leads to disruptive behaviors like chewing or barking and that can leave you feeling stressed. The good news here is that this is entirely manageable and can improve with proper training. The Dog Wizard’s program helps dogs build confidence and learn to cope with alone time, supported by expert guidance from our trainers.
Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
Training adopted or rescue dogs requires special care and the right approach. Rest assured that the trainers at The Dog Wizard in Elmhurst are experienced in this. They can help under-socialized, abused, or hyperactive dogs learn new or adapt current behaviors for greater confidence and a smoother, more joyful life together. We tailor training programs to each rescue dog’s unique history and needs for the best outcomes.
Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking
Different dogs have different challenges that need to be worked on. Sometimes it’s digging other times it’s leash pulling. But there are many others. If you want to better understand and manage problem behaviors, you need the right targeted solutions. At The Dog Wizard, your assigned trainer will create a customized training plan that focuses on specific issues to improve your dog’s conduct.
Resource Guarding Training
The Dog Wizard in Elmhurst offers training to safely address and modify resource guarding to ensure peace in your home. Resource guarding is when certain dogs guard their food, toys, or favorite spots aggressively. This behavior stems from early competition with their littermates but it can be worked on with great results for your dog, you, and everyone in your household.
