Tricia Fiorio

Head Trainer

Tricia, a Manufacturing and Operations Engineer, has been training and working with dogs for nearly two decades. She has assisted foster organizations and families with dogs that many had given up on and rehabilitated them to comfort and confidence, to be the pets they were meant to be. Tricia joined The Dog Wizard in early 2024, launching the franchise in the area with Jen. Tricia is certified in canine first AID and CPR. She lives with her two dogs, Lemon & Rumi and remains very active in the rescue community.

Jennifer Rossi, PhD

Owner & Operations Manager

With a PhD in molecular biology & biochemistry, Jen had been working in the life science start-up industry for nearly 20 years, growing, leading and bringing companies to successful exits. A constant animal lover, Jen was introduced to The Dog Wizard and decided that launching this new franchise would be her next exciting start-up!
When she is not thinking about dogs or science, Jen enjoys watching all types of sports, especially hockey. She also sits on the board of several non-profit organizations. Jen lives with her husband, teenage daughter, dog, Scarlett and cat, Loki.

We loved the Dog Wizard. We did the training with our dog Murray and learned the basics for leash walking. We receive lots of compliments on his behavior and walking skills.

We have been working with Tricia over the last few months and have seen significant progress with our almost 3 year old Cavapoo. He used to pull so hard on walks and bark at passer bys, lunge at other dogs, and bark / jump at guests. It was causing a lot of frustrations for all of us, including our dog. With their training our dog no longer pulls, walks are fun again and his barking has significantly decreased. He is better able to tolerate noises/guests and sits to be pet when we or anyone else comes into the house. Older dogs can learn new tricks!! This was our 3rd trainer over the last few years and happy to report she will be our last. This training was so worth it.

I've had 4 sessions so far with Tricia and my dog has completely transformed. She has even learned to walk past other dogs, as well as with them -- 1 month ago, she had to be pulled over to the side whenever we saw another dog! She and I are so much more confident now. I finally feel like I know the right things to do and can communicate with my rescue dog.

Tricia gave me the kind of 1:1 instruction I'd been dreaming of -- detailed, kind, and timely. She is so easy to work with and will help you level up your dog skills.

Life changing, life saving group! Highly recommend.

My son and I worked with Tricia. She is fantastic. We learned so much from her in such a short time. Oakley is taking commands so much better and he’s become easier to control. She also offered personalize tips to both of us in terms of giving commands, tone etc. It’s so satisfying to see the changes in our dog, and us, in so little time. We really look forward to future sessions both individual and group. I highly recommend investing the money to get your sweet dog trained. It makes a world of difference.

I am impressed with our training with Tricia! Our dog, Bella's behavior has really improved. My young daughters can walk her without being pulled over and she no longer jumps on everyone she meets!

About The Dog Wizard Burlington

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 Burlington 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
