Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program
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 Gastonia, our expert trainers can handle training for adopted/rescue dogs from a broad range of backgrounds. Many of these dogs are either poorly socialized or are recovering from past trauma. Our training plans for rescue dogs at The Dog Wizard in Gastonia 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.
Dog Separation Anxiety Training
At The Dog Wizard, we know that some dogs experience separation anxiety. When this happens, they tend to react with destructive habits or excessive vocalizing. However, from years of experience, we also know that improvements in these behaviors are very possible. With dedicated support, anxious dogs can build the confidence to spend time alone. The Dog Wizard’s separation anxiety training in Gastonia guides pet owners in helping their dogs become more assured when solo. Our experts share valuable knowledge on managing separation anxiety.
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.
Dog Socialization Training
Picture your dog freely exploring its surroundings, free from stress or fear. That’s the precise outcome that The Dog Wizard’s trainers strive for. Through balanced training, we encourage positive interactions and expose dogs to new environments. This way, your pet gains confidence and adaptability. Let us help you bring out the best in your dog’s personality. Through our Dog Socialization Training, your canine friend can handle change more smoothly and you can enjoy life much more together.
