With certified dog trainers, nationwide coverage, and lifetime support, we’ve helped thousands of families create calmer, happier dogs since 2005.\n\nHappy Dogs, Happy Owners\n------------------------\n\n> **I can’t tell you how much a difference The Dog Wizard has made in our lives.** I highly recommend them! Our dog Roxy was a bolter, and we chased her countless times around our neighborhood. Several times she would run up to the main road, and we were terrified Roxy was going get hit by a car. However, after her training at the Dog Wizard, she is like a new dog. We can now take her outside with us and not be afraid she will bolt off. I can also take her to my kids games and let her run and have fun. As much time as we like to spend outdoors, it has been life changing for us to be able to include Roxy in all our family activities without the anxiety of her taking off. Thanks Dog Wizard!\n\n**Reanna, Sean, Carter, Carol Ann, and of course Roxy**\n\n> **Contacting Patrick with Louisville Dog Wizard was one of the greatest things I could have done for my dog!** Obedience was never the issue for us, but rather reactivity and anxiety that resulted in some fear-based aggression. I’ve been through several trainers, but Patrick gave me the most realistic approach to handling the issues that were inherited with adopting an older dog. He fully understood what we needed to accomplish, and guided us in establishing a training plan with goals that didn’t overreach her capabilities. I learned so much about how to better communicate with my dog, thereby strengthening our relationship, and giving me a sense of confidence in her and my ability to handle her. Two thumbs up from a happy customer here!!!\n\n**Tiffany O**\n\n> **I brought my 8 year old beagle Eli to the Dog Wizard and completed the 4 day fundamentals program.** All I can say is WOW. I was at a loss of what to do as anytime Eli saw another dog on walks he would bay and howl uncontrollably which was really stressful for us both and other people walking their dogs. We had done private training lessons before at another place but it did not improve his behavior. I was scared that since he is an older dog, the behavior would be so engrained in him that it could not be corrected. I was completely wrong! I couldn’t believe the transformation that took place within a few days. When I came to pick him up he was around 5 other dogs but his focus was solely on me while walking on leash. He now walks on a leash well at home and when he sees other dogs is able to remain calm. Most importantly the trainers gave me the tools to refocus Eli if he gets off track so I don’t feel nervous bringing him on walks anymore, I actually thoroughly enjoy it. My boyfriend and I still can’t believe this is the same dog! Cannot wait to bring him on a hike in a few weeks, which I thought would never be possible! Truly life changing. Can’t wait to participate in pack walks!\n\n**Jessica J**\n\n> **AMAZING! AMAZING! You know in life how you always buy services that turn out to be a waste of money?** This is the first time in a LONG time I can honestly say it was WORTH every cent! At first I was a NERVOUS wreck leaving my Gator from 2 weeks for the homeward bound program. Our trainer did a fabulous job with follow up calls, texts and on facebook posts. Immediately my husband and I were blown away seeing what he was doing online. When we went to pick him up it was such a happy teary day! My dog blew our minds! Just like anything in life our dog Gator’s success is dependent on our follow through and practicing with him. Before you couldn’t even walk our dog without your arm being pulled out of its socket, now he calmly trots in heel beside us. I highly recommend DOG WIZARD. For those reading this whose dog is at DOG WIZARD now and are missing your dog so so much… trust me… he/she will remember you and be so happy to see you when you pick them up. Such a great moment. GOOD LUCK DOG LOVERS! I am writing this now 2 months post dog wizard. The examples of how he is calm when the doorbell rings, walks perfect, stays in “place” for LONG periods of time continues to amaze me. I gladly boast about Dog Wizard on a weekly basis. Best investment. The key is you the owner HAVE to be dedicated to work with your dog once they get home. We go to the free classes on Saturdays. They really mean it when they say “free training for the life of your dog.”\n\n**Danielle E**\n\n> **Our 15th month old German Shepherd was a bundle of energy with no structure.** It has been years since we’ve had a puppy in our home and we were frazzled. After doing extensive research, we called Matt and discussed our issues with chaos. After a evaluation we decided to go with the 2 week program they offered. Matt was excellent with chaos and with us. Chaos now has the structure he needed and we learned how to provide that structure for him. Best decision we ever made! For anyone looking for an excellent trainer, I highly recommend Matt and The South Atlanta Dog Wizard.\n\n**Deborah D**\n\n> **The Fort Collins Dog Wizard and Jess is an AMAZING trainer and I highly recommend her!** I have been very pleased with her services both for my own dogs and for my client’s dogs. Her attention to detail and down-to-earth approach is great.\n\n**Molly A**\n\n[](#)[](#)[](#)[](#)[](#)[](#)\n\nStart Your Dog’s Transformation.

We look at factors such as age, temperament, and behaviour challenges to determine and recommend the best program that ideally fits your dog’s needs and your goals as an owner.\n\n[What’s the difference between puppy training, obedience training, and behaviour modification?](#255abe43139bc5ffe)\n\nPuppy training focuses on crate training, potty training, and socialization. On the other hand, obedience training works on commands, manners, and leash skills for dogs of all ages. Meanwhile, behaviour modification is designed for dogs that are struggling with anxiety, reactivity, or aggression.\n\n[Is my dog too old to start obedience training?](#8e7abb1a0a9ed5e67)\n\nNot at all. At The Dog Wizard, we know from experience that dogs of any age have the capacity to learn new things. While puppies learn quickly because of their impressionable minds, adult and senior dogs also benefit greatly from our training programs that build confidence and good manners.\n\n[Should I choose group classes, private lessons, or board-and-train?](#112ce7d3f7cf64883)\n\nThis decision depends on your goals. Group classes are best for socialization and learning in a distracting environment. Private lessons offer one-on-one attention for specific behaviours. And our board-and-train program provides immersive learning where our trainers work intensively with your dog for faster progress.\n\n[How long does it usually take to see results?](#d032f0800c12dd8eb)\n\nMany owners notice improvements within the first few sessions. However, to see lasting results, will depend on your consistency as an owner, reinforcement at home, and the program you choose. It’s important to note that all dogs are different and that some dogs may progress faster than others.\n\n[What if my dog struggles with aggression or anxiety?](#b71fa6b9ccbedcb88)\n\nWe recommend our behaviour modification and aggression rehab programme for dogs with severe behavioural issues. Our trainers use proven, balanced techniques to help dogs overcome such challenges safely.\n\n[Do I need to participate in the training sessions?](#28dd0f75a4f516bf0)\n\nOwner involvement is essential for long-term success. Even if your dog attends board-and-train, we teach you how to continue reinforcing the training at home so the results are long-lasting.\n\n[Can I switch programs if my dog’s needs change?](#75e5da6b02e79f267)\n\nAbsolutely. If your dog needs more advanced training or additional support, we can adjust the program to make sure you both get the best outcome.\n\n[What happens after the program ends?](#bd3d9b4dbd6a49fed)\n\nWe offer lifetime support, including access to free group classes. That means you can keep reinforcing your dog’s skills and get help if new challenges arise.\n\n[Do you work with all breeds and sizes of dogs?](#2ba00a230ce4b1591)\n\nYes, definitely. From small breeds to large working dogs, our trainers are experienced in adapting techniques to fit the unique personality and needs of every breed.\n\n[How do I get started?](#05be9befaab2d9df0)\n\nThe first step is to book a free evaluation with us. One of our trainers will meet with you to better understand your goals, and they’ll then recommend the most effective training plan for your dog.\n\n \n\n![](https://cdn-fnkki.nitrocdn.com/GcJvucszkpmDNZgyFYNGWGJEqdEvmoPN/assets/images/optimized/rev-5609c86/thedogwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/dogs-min.jpg \"dogs-min\")\n\nReady for Dog Training?\n-----------------------\n\n![](https://cdn-fnkki.nitrocdn.com/GcJvucszkpmDNZgyFYNGWGJEqdEvmoPN/assets/images/optimized/rev-5609c86/thedogwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Vector-1.png \"Vector 1\")\n\n![](https://cdn-fnkki.nitrocdn.com/GcJvucszkpmDNZgyFYNGWGJEqdEvmoPN/assets/images/optimized/rev-5609c86/thedogwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/One-icon.png \"One icon\")\n\n#### Tell Us About Yourself\n\n![](https://cdn-fnkki.nitrocdn.com/GcJvucszkpmDNZgyFYNGWGJEqdEvmoPN/assets/images/optimized/rev-5609c86/thedogwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/two-icon.png \"two icon\")\n\n#### Tell Us About Your Dog\n\n![](https://cdn-fnkki.nitrocdn.com/GcJvucszkpmDNZgyFYNGWGJEqdEvmoPN/assets/images/optimized/rev-5609c86/thedogwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/three-icon.png \"three icon\")\n\n#### Find Out How We Can Help\n\n### Let’s Get Started\n\nWe know your dog is unique.
