These sessions offer a chance to reinforce skills, make new friends in Knoxville and strengthen the unique bond between the pet and pet parent.

In turn, this can help you better interpret and address your dog’s habits through our problem-solving strategies.

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.

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 Knoxville, 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 Knoxville 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 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.

Dog Aggression Training

In some cases, your canine friend may show unexpected signs of aggression or be outright aggressive. This can make home life challenging as opposed to joyful and pleasant because an aggressive dog creates stress for everyone in the household. Despite there being some misconceptions that such behaviors are hardwired, at The Dog Wizard, we understand that they often arise from fear, stress, or lack of proper socialization. One of our certified trainers in Knoxville can help pinpoint and address this aggression. Simply reach out to find out how the specialist dog aggression training with The Dog Wizard in Knoxville can help resolve issues and support your dog.
