Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in East Ridge

Group Dog Training Classes

The Dog Wizard in Chattanooga hosts group classes that cover everything your pet needs to build confidence and manners in a group setting. Our program covers the depth and breadth of training, from essential obedience commands to house training. Your much-loved canine friend will learn all the important skills and behaviors to thrive at home and outdoors in the community. Socializing with other pets will help them build confidence and good manners. Our programs include puppy classes for dogs younger than five months and our foundation courses are perfect for small groups (consisting of five to seven dogs).

Dog Day Training

Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Chattanooga makes it easier. Much like the name suggests, your dog spends the day with our trainers, who work on improving their behaviors and skills. But that’s not all because you will also receive private lessons to reinforce progress at home or in the park. Our options include a 6- or 15-day program, as we aim to suit your lifestyle and goals.

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

Our Chattanooga puppy program is proud to be an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program, meaning your dog can qualify to earn the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate after program completion. Along with certification, your puppy will be registered in the AKC records and receive a special display medal.

Private Dog Training Lessons

Need a special and personalized touch in your dog’s training? The Dog Wizard in Chattanooga offers private training sessions that give your canine friend personalized attention. These classes are uniquely tailored to your dog’s personality and behavior, based on a thorough assessment of your dog by our trainers. They then create a specific training strategy that’s followed through for great results. These private sessions can be held at your home or at our Chattanooga facility, depending on your needs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the most comfortable environment for both you and your dog.

Board and Train Dog Training

Have you always wanted to enroll your dog in training but never seem to find the time to do so? The Dog Wizard in Chattanooga offers a perfect solution. Perfect for those whose schedules are too tight to attend dog training classes but who want the best for their canine friends, is our board and train program. What it means is your dog stays with our expert trainers full-time for 7, 14, or 21 days. You choose the schedule to suit your preferences. Your pet will receive attentive, professional dog training tailored to their needs right here in Chattanooga throughout their stay with us.

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.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

If you’re afraid of leaving your dog alone for extended periods of time, we get you and you’re not alone. We know that separation anxiety often leads to disruptive behaviors like chewing or barking and that can leave you feeling stressed. The good news here is that this is entirely manageable and can improve with proper training. The Dog Wizard’s program helps dogs build confidence and learn to cope with alone time, supported by expert guidance from our trainers.

Resource Guarding Training

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

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 Chattanooga 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.
