The Dog Wizard

I was interested in the 1:1 training because my dog is very aggressive toward other dogs. I filled out the extensive questionnaire detailing the behavior issues and half expected to get rejected. They said they could help so we went ahead. The training didn’t do anything to resolve the issue. We were more than halfway through lessons when the trainer suddenly announced he’d been looking through the paperwork and saw (for the first time?) we needed help with fighting behavior. He also was often late to appointments, sometimes suggested ending early because my dog was hot, and missed the last lesson entirely. Huge waste of money.

I called in the beginning of November to inquire for training for my puppy. Their first availability for a “quick” consult call was nearly 3 weeks later. No biggie, I am understanding that most places are busy! The day of the call, I missed the phone call due to a high severity work situation. Not ideal, but unavoidable. I called back no less than 45 minutes later and left a voicemail. It’s nearly a month after this instance, and I still have not received a single call or email response from Dog Wizard. True bummer because Dog Wizard appears to have great reviews, but ultimately I’d be hesitant to send my dog to an establishment that has a lack of communication.

Greg has been amazing at helping our dog Stella. Since she’s come home she’s been much more obedient and much calmer. She seems happier now, as she used to be a very anxious dog. He also helped us with getting Stella acquainted with our new puppy Piper, and now they are inseparable! He sent us frequent videos updating us on Stella’s progress when she was away, and has sent me tutorials on how to keep up her training at home. Thank you Greg for helping Stella and making her a better, socialized, calmer and overall happier dog!

My husband and I booked 5 private sessions with the Dog Wizard at our home and around our neighborhood to work on our dog Cooper's leash reactivity. Although Cooper did not miraculously become 100% perfect on a leash in five short weeks, he is doing so much better going on walks and following commands, and more importantly, we have the skills we need as owners to continue to work on his walking and to support our dog in having a happier, healthier, more active lifestyle. Overall, this was a really positive experience--the sessions are expensive, and you need to be prepared to work with your dog every single day, but we learned a lot about dog behavior and how to be better dog parents without ever feeling judged or shamed
