Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in La Vergne

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

Our Murfreesboro 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.

Dog Day Training

Busy days often leave little time for dog training, but The Dog Wizard’s Day Training program in Murfreesboro 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.

Adopted/Rescue Dog Training Program

When you adopt a new puppy or dog from an animal shelter or a rescue organization, the history of your pet is generally unknown. Time, patience, and training are essential for solving potential behavior problems and getting your dog familiar with family members. Because structure is so important for dogs, starting a dog obedience class as soon as possible is a good idea.

Problem Solving: barking, chewing, jumping, begging, counter surfing, digging, leash pulling, play biting, marking, door bolting, housebreaking

Positive reinforcement training is a vital tool in fostering good behavior in dogs. This approach emphasizes rewarding the dog for positive behavior, encouraging them to repeat it. This method has proven to be an easy way to address several behavioral issues successfully.

Dog Separation Anxiety Training

Learning how to deal with a dog with separation anxiety can be difficult and sometimes frustrating. Fortunately, dogs with separation anxiety can overcome their issues and become more self-confident. Because these types of dog behavior problems are caused by fear, the key to solving them is to address the underlying nervousness. Behavior modification can only happen once your dog feels comfortable about being left alone. A training program that builds your dog’s self-confidence and reinforces the bond between you and your pet helps your new puppy or dog overcome fears and learn how to cope with everyday stress that can help treat separation anxiety.

Resource Guarding Training

If your dog tends to growl, snap or bite when guarding possessions, you should consult with a dog trainer, particularly if you have children who may be unable to sense warning signs.

Dog Socialization Training

Perfecting the craft of puppy socialization can be challenging, but fear not – The Dog Wizard is here to guide you! Are you ready to learn some pro tips? Begin socializing your puppy as early as possible, ideally between 3 and 12 weeks of age, by introducing them to diverse environments, unfamiliar people, other animals, dog parks, and dog daycare in a controlled manner. Ensure that your puppy training lessons are positive and stress-free. Maintain a calm demeanor and shower your dog with treats for positive interactions. Remember, patience and consistency are extremely important in this process.
