Jeremiah

Trainer

"There's so much we can learn from our dogs''patience, unconditional love, forgiveness'' and how to eat a burger in five seconds. I train dogs to be obedient, but they?ve taught me how to be a better human."

Dominique

Jeremiah has been wonderful to work with. He is educating us on how to help bring our anxious/reactive dog to a more calm state. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Jeremiah at the Dog Wizard! We did the 8-week program and our boy Max went from a scared new rescue to being confident and blossoming into a whole new dog. Jeremiah helped to teach both us and Max on how to have obedience while still maintaining his freedom of a dog. Our biggest issue was crate training, as max was an escape artist. The biggest breakthrough is that Max now WILLINGLY goes and enjoys his crate. Throughout the process, Jeremiah was incredibly helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. We also really appreciated how he taught us to better support our dogs and continue the training at home. Jeremiah gives great recommendation for tools beyond what the program supported. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend their services! We have two happy dogs (through this training he taught us how to give our older dog a refresher training).

We had an amazing experience with Jeremiah at the Dog Wizard! Our two dogs, Remi and Lennon, spent two weeks in their train-and-board program, and the results have been incredible. We can now take them for walks off-leash, and they listen so well! Throughout the process, Jeremiah was incredibly helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. We also really appreciated how he taught us to better support our dogs and continue the training at home. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend their services!”

I cannot save one negative thing about Jeremiah, Chesty’s trainer. Such a calming presence to me and our situation. Moving, being around others and other’s dogs was something I could not get a handle on. But here arrived our hero. Explained my dog in ways I had not considered. We know have better communication and I understand him better as well. If anyone in the Glen Allen community needs help, Dog Wizard and Jeremiah are a winning ticket. THANK YOU!😊

I have a 8 month old French bulldog who is full of energy and extremely strong. If you are a Frenchie parent you know how hard it is with a Frenchie.

I want to thank Jeremiah for working with Zeus for 2 weeks while he boarded with him at his home. He did such an amazing job with him, he came back such a calmer dog which I love.

My biggest issues with Zeus was that he was tugging and dragging on the leash while getting walks, running to other dog and people without invite. I am working with him currently to transition home with the training he received while with Jeremiah. I loved that the trainer was attentive and took the time to address the things that is of great concern to me.

I love that the training is ongoing, and I will always be able to reach out to Jeremiah if needs be. I am extremely happy with his improvement and I am looking forward to helping him get better as well.

This was definitely an investment for me, I do not regret spending any of the money it cost.

Thank You Jeremiah, you’re truly a gem. 🐾💙

About The Dog Wizard Glen Allen

Our dog training goes beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, and Down. Our approach focuses on helping your dog make better choices and respond to you instead of their impulses.

We cover all the essential obedience commands you need to communicate effectively with your dog. But more importantly, we teach your dog to stay engaged and follow through with these commands, even in the most distracting environments.

Our goal is to enhance your dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior, not just a few tricks they perform when they feel like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dog Wizard Glen Allen offers a free evaluation. Most locations will even come to you to do one! This enables our trainers to meet you and your dog, go over your training goals and find a program that works for you. Give us a call and we will help you set one up.
The Dog Wizard trainers are well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars. We know that not all dogs do well with every tool and we will help you decide what tool is best for your dog as well as what tools you’re comfortable with using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you’re comfortable in using will be the one you’re most consistent in using and that’s what’s most important to us.
It is never too late to start teaching your dog new habits. It will take more time and effort than teaching a new puppy but you will love the outcome.

In order to know how long it will take to train your dog, we will need to do a free consultation. During your consultation, we will get to understand what you are looking to gain from the training as well as evaluate your dog to see what we will need to do to get him where you would like him to be. At that point, we will be able to give you a timeline for his training.

We do not have a one size fits all approach to training. Each dog owner team that has a free evaluation will have a customized program designed to fit your specific needs. Because of this, individualized system pricing varies. Give us a call and we will help you set one up
