Dog Training, Behavioral and Obedience Programs in Franklin
Puppy Training Programs
There’s no doubt puppies are full of energy. While this playfulness provides plenty of entertainment, it can also lead to behavioral problems. From chewing furniture to play biting, there are all sorts of mischief for young puppies to get into. That’s why at The Dog Wizard in Nashville, we offer comprehensive puppy training. These lessons teach puppies essential skills (such as obedience commands, leash walking and socialization), helping ensure they grow into well-behaved adults.
American Kennel Club (AKC) Training
The Dog Wizard is pleased to share that our puppy program in Nashville is also an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. This means that, after passing the program, your dog will be eligible to test for the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate. In addition to receiving certification, you and your puppy will be registered in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and receive a display medal.

Group Dog Training Classes
Are you interested in group training in Nashville for your dog? We offer group dog training classes that cover everything your dog needs to know, from obedience commands to housebreaking. In addition to learning new skills, it’ll have a chance to socialize with fellow canines. Our programs at The Dog Wizard in Nashville include puppy classes for dogs up to 5 months of age, as well as foundation classes for small groups of five to seven.
Private Dog Training Lessons
Does your dog need one-on-one training support? The Dog Wizard in Nashville has you covered with our personalized, private dog training sessions. First, our professional trainers will get to know your pet’s unique habits. Then, they’ll design a training plan that meets their precise needs. These lessons may take place at your home or our facility in Nashville — wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable.

Board and Train Dog Training
Do you want to enroll your dog in training classes but don’t have time to attend? We’ve got you covered. At The Dog Wizard in Nashville, we offer board and train programs at various program lengths of stay: 7 days, 14 days or 21 days. During the program, your pet will stay with us full-time and learn directly from our dedicated, professional trainers in Nashville.
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 Nashville guides pet owners in helping their dogs become more assured when solo. Our experts share valuable knowledge on managing separation anxiety.
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 Nashville, 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 Nashville 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 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 Nashville can help pinpoint and address this aggression. Simply reach out to find out how the specialist dog aggression training with The Dog Wizard in Nashville can help resolve issues and support your dog.

It does happen that some dogs struggle with certain problem areas but that doesn’t have to mean you’re on your own. At The Dog Wizard, we help by building a happier, healthier bond with your dog through proven balanced techniques. Your assigned Dog Wizard trainer will design a custom training plan for your dog’s specific challenges. 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.
