Board and Train Dog Training

Pet parents: would you like your dog to receive professional training but you simply don’t have the time to attend classes with them? The Dog Wizard in Richmond can help. We have several board and train options that allow your pet to stay with us for either 7, 14, or 21 days. Choose your training time frame and let our certified trainers do their magic. While on-site, your dog will receive daily hands-on instruction from our skilled trainers in Richmond. When the program is over, you’ll be amazed at the transformation. And don’t forget our lifetime support that’s there to help maintain your dog’s progress.

Lifetime Support

Acquiring new skills is important for your dog, but maintaining them over time matters even more. With The Dog Wizard’s lifetime support in Richmond, our programs offer you ongoing access to weekly group sessions after graduation. These meetups help reinforce training, provide socialization for you and your dog in Richmond, and strengthen the special bond between pet and owner.

Private Dog Training Lessons

If your dog benefits from more individualized coaching, The Dog Wizard in Richmond offers custom private sessions. First, our trainers closely observe your dog to understand its habits. Next, we establish a training plan made just for them. These private lessons are available at your home or at our Richmond facility—whichever setting feels best for your dog and you.

American Kennel Club (AKC) Training

The Dog Wizard is proud to announce that our Richmond puppy program qualifies as an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. Once your dog has completed training, it’s eligible to attempt the AKC S.T.A.R. test for certification. You and your puppy will then be registered in official AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records and awarded a commemorative medal.
