If you’re the proud owner of an adopted or rescue dog, you’ll know that these pets are often accompanied by a unique set of difficulties. At The Dog Wizard in Grand Rapids, our expert trainers can handle training for adopted/rescue dogs from a broad range of backgrounds.

Our training plans for rescue dogs at The Dog Wizard in Grand Rapids are customized for each canine’s personal history and behavioral needs so you can have a confident and well-mannered companion throughout your life together.
Resource Guarding Training
Dogs are pack animals, so it’s a natural instinct for them to share resources. But sometimes, they have to compete for these with their siblings. As they grow, some will display guarding behavior. This can revolve around food, toys, crates, or favorite resting spots. If this is a challenge you are dealing with, you can rest assured that the experts at The Dog Wizard can help.
