American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

The Dog Wizard is proud to announce that our Gastonia puppy program qualifies as an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. Once your dog has completed training, it’s eligible to attempt the AKC S.T.A.R. test for certification. You and your puppy will then be registered in official AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and awarded a commemorative medal.

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 Gastonia 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.

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 Gastonia can help.
