Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Minneapolis

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 Twin Cities, 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.

Dog Day Training

Finding time to train your dog can be difficult. If you’re too busy during the day, you might benefit from The Dog Wizard Day Training program in Twin Cities. Throughout the day, your pet will work with a trainer to improve behavior. Between day schools, you’ll enjoy a private lesson in the comfort of your own home. Depending on your and your dog’s needs, you may choose between 6-day and 15-day programs.

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 Twin Cities, 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 Twin Cities.

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 Twin Cities, 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 Twin Cities and strengthen the unique bond between the pet and pet parent.

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.

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.

Dog Aggression Training

Stressed dogs often display warning signals like growling or posturing to create distance. Barking at children might seem like dislike, but usually reflects inadequate socialization and overwhelm from their energy. The Dog Wizard's skilled trainers collaborate with you to enhance dog-owner dialogue. Building trust in your reassurance allows calmer responses to triggers.

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.
