Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Harrisburg

Board and Train Dog Training

Every pet owner wants a well-trained dog in the house. Such dogs promptly obey commands, can spend time alone without being destructive, safely bond with people in the home and don’t get spooked when they encounter strange dogs and people during outings. Since dogs require a lot of positive training to reach this point, dog owners nationwide trust The Dog Wizard’s board and train dog training programs to teach their pets crucial commands and manners.

Specialty Dog Training

Every dog has unique talents waiting to shine. Our specialty dog training ensures your pet can unveil them, be it agility, scent detection, or therapy work. Backed by continuous skill updates, our trainers use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to ensure your dog receives the best training methods. Dog training is more than just teaching commands; it’s about understanding, adapting, and fostering a lifelong bond. As owners, the bond you’ll forge with your pet through these training classes is irreplaceable. The joy of seeing a puppy grow into a well-trained dog under professional guidance is unparalleled.

Lifetime Support

The success of your dog depends on the commitment of your follow through after graduation. We not only teach your dog the skills it needs to be well-behaved, but we teach you, your spouse, your kids, and anyone else how to best use those skills so you can have a long, healthy,and happy relationship with your dog. We will give you all the tools necessary to make things clear and simple to make sure everything sticks long term. While we have taught your dog a foundation, it ultimately comes down to your (and your family’s) relationship with your furry friend to ensure your new and improved family member continues to improve. We are successful because we provide dog training that works , it is that simple.

Puppy Training Programs

No matter what breed they are, when left untrained, puppies get up to all sorts of mischief. This is fine when they’re young and learning, of course, but not so much when they’re older and bigger. That’s why it’s important to take them to dog training classes to teach them what is and isn’t okay right from the beginning. Our puppy training programs are designed to help your furry friend develop good habits, manners and social skills.

Private Dog Training Lessons

One-on-one training sessions allow our professional dog trainers to tailor programs effectively, addressing each dog’s behavior and unique needs. Private training allows for a more focused and personalized approach, ensuring your dog receives the individual attention required to achieve optimal results. Flexibility is another key benefit of private training. At The Dog Wizard, we understand that your schedule may be busy. That’s why we offer customized scheduling options, allowing you to choose training sessions that fit seamlessly into your routine.

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

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 Charlotte 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.

Resource Guarding Training

The Dog Wizard in Charlotte 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.

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 Charlotte. Count on our expert trainers to help with positive exposure to different settings and experiences. This way, your dog will build resilience and adaptability.
