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.

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.
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.
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.

Lifetime Support
It’s one thing for your dog to learn new skills. It’s another for your dog to retain those skills for years. At The Dog Wizard in Nashville, we offer lifetime support as part of our training programs. After your dog graduates, you can continue to bring it in for weekly group classes. These sessions offer a chance to reinforce skills, make new friends in Nashville and strengthen the unique bond between the pet and pet parent.

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.
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 Nashville 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.
Dog Aggression Training
Aggressive behavior in dogs can cause significant household stress. Some believe that this is part of their innate personality characteristics, but our expert trainers know better. We understand that aggression is often linked to fear, poor socialization, or trauma. That’s why The Dog Wizard in Nashville offers skilled trainers who work with you to address aggression and improve your dog's behavior for a calmer home.
Resource Guarding Training
The Dog Wizard in Nashville 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.
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 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 Nashville. Count on our expert trainers to help with positive exposure to different settings and experiences. This way, your dog will build resilience and adaptability.
