Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Kirkwood

Dog Day Training

Carving out time in your schedule for dog training isn’t easy. If you’re often busy during the day, The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Clayton could be ideal. Your dog works with a dedicated trainer over the course of the day for behavioral improvement. You also get tailored private lessons in the comfort of your own home. Our options include a 6- or 15-day program. Let your trainer help you decide, based on the main goals you’d like to achieve for your dog.

Puppy Training Programs

Puppies are absolute bundles of joy teeming with boundless energy as part of their playful nature. This can be entertaining but small, seemingly unnoticeable problems can lead to long-term challenges like chewing or nipping that carry over into adulthood. At The Dog Wizard in Clayton, our thorough puppy training covers everything needed to manage these behaviors. Our courses teach vital puppy skills to help them mature into balanced adult dogs. Examples of these critical skills include following commands, walking on leash, and proper social skills.

Group Dog Training Classes

Interested in having your dog participate in group classes in Clayton? The Dog Wizard offers group courses covering essential topics, from basic obedience to house training. Alongside new learning, your pet gets to meet and mingle with other dogs. Our Clayton programs include puppy lessons for dogs under five months and small group foundation courses, typically hosting five to seven dogs.

Private Dog Training Lessons

If your dog benefits from more individualized coaching, The Dog Wizard in Clayton offers custom private sessions. First, our trainers closely observe your dog to understand its habits. Next, we establish a training plan made just for them. These private lessons are available at your home or at our Clayton facility—whichever setting feels best for your dog and you.

Board and Train Dog Training

Pet parents: would you like your dog to receive professional training but you simply don’t have the time to attend classes with them? The Dog Wizard in Clayton can help. We have several board and train options that allow your pet to stay with us for either 7, 14, or 21 days. Choose your training time frame and let our certified trainers do their magic. While on-site, your dog will receive daily hands-on instruction from our skilled trainers in Clayton. When the program is over, you’ll be amazed at the transformation. And don’t forget our lifetime support that’s there to help maintain your dog’s progress.

Dog Socialization Training

Your dog may be the most well-mannered companion at home but all this changes as soon as they see their leash and head outside. They may experience fear or even aggression in these cases, but this is all solvable. Give your dog the gift of confidently exploring new environments. That’s our goal with The Dog Wizard’s socialization training in Clayton. Count on our expert trainers to help with positive exposure to different settings and experiences. This way, your dog will build resilience and adaptability.

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 Clayton offers skilled trainers who work with you to address aggression and improve your dog's behavior for a calmer home.

Resource Guarding Training

The Dog Wizard in Clayton 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.

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 Clayton 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.
