Private Dog Training Lessons

Need a special and personalized touch in your dog’s training? The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor offers private training sessions that give your canine friend personalized attention. These classes are uniquely tailored to your dog’s personality and behavior, based on a thorough assessment of your dog by our trainers. They then create a specific training strategy that’s followed through for great results. These private sessions can be held at your home or at our Ann Arbor facility, depending on your needs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the most comfortable environment for both you and your dog.

Lifetime Support

The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor truly understands that learning new skills is just the beginning of any training and new skills your dog acquires. Reinforcing those skills regularly is just as important as the initial training program. And because of this importance, we provide lifetime support to ensure your dog retains and maintains what they’ve learned. After completing your desired training program, you can attend weekly group classes that reinforce skills, foster socialization, and nurture strong bonds.

Board and Train Dog Training

Have you always wanted to enroll your dog in training but never seem to find the time to do so? The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor offers a perfect solution. Perfect for those whose schedules are too tight to attend dog training classes but who want the best for their canine friends, is our board and train program. What it means is your dog stays with our expert trainers full-time for 7, 14, or 21 days. You choose the schedule to suit your preferences. Your pet will receive attentive, professional dog training tailored to their needs right here in Ann Arbor throughout their stay with us.

Dog Day Training

Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Ann Arbor makes it easier. Much like the name suggests, your dog spends the day with our trainers, who work on improving their behaviors and skills. But that’s not all because you will also receive private lessons to reinforce progress at home or in the park. Our options include a 6- or 15-day program, as we aim to suit your lifestyle and goals.

Specialty Dog Training

Want a specialized training experience? Many The Dog Wizard centers in Ann Arbor offer specialty courses like agility training for active dogs, scent detection, therapy prep, and baby safety classes. These are open to all breeds, suitable for beginners and those with some experience.

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

Owners can employ problem-solving techniques to analyze better and comprehend their dog’s behaviors. Seeking assistance from experts like The Dog Wizard to create personalized training programs can be beneficial. Owners can foster a happier and healthier connection with their animals by focusing on specific areas and applying targeted solutions.

Resource Guarding Training

Some dogs are aggressive when guarding food, toys, crates, and places they like to spend a lot of time, such as a couch or bed. This type of guarding behavior can develop instinctually among puppies if they grew up having to compete with others in their litter for food.

Dog Aggression Training

Most people who welcome a dog into their home anticipate many years of happy companionship. But some dogs exhibit aggressive behavior, making it challenging to integrate them into your life. Living with an aggressive dog can cause stress and tension for the entire household. Although your first instinct might be to assume aggression is an innate part of your dog’s personality, in many cases, their behavior is caused by poor socialization, fear, stress, or bad experiences. The good news is that you can find an experienced dog trainer in Ann Arbor who can help address aggression in your pet and work with you to resolve some of these behavioral issues. Read on to learn more about dog aggression training at The Dog Wizard in Ann Arbor and how it can help your pup.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

Separation anxiety is a common issue for dogs, and many dogs suffering from it develop behavior problems, such as destructive behavior or incessant whining and barking when you leave home. There is hope for improvement, though. With help, your anxious dog can learn how to handle being left alone for short periods of time. Our dog separation anxiety training can help area pet owners teach their dogs to be more self-confident and secure. Professional dog trainers at The Dog Wizard will provide in-depth knowledge about treating separation anxiety in dogs.

Dog Socialization Training

Envision your canine companion fearlessly exploring their surroundings, unburdened by anxiety or aggression. Incredible, isn’t it? That’s the empowering transformation The Dog Wizard’s trainers aim to achieve! Through positive interactions with different environments and experiences, dogs can build confidence and learn to navigate the world easily. They’re able to handle stress better and adapt to changes more quickly. Early life socialization doesn’t just make a dog easier to manage; it significantly enhances their quality of life, paving the way for a happier, more content pet.
