About The Dog Wizard

The Dog Wizard is a Charleston dog training company that seeks to make humans' lives easier and dogs' lives better. It's a tragedy how many dogs are discarded into shelters due to behavioral problems that most of the time can easily be fixed. We know that if these dogs had the opportunity to be trained and socialized properly, they would be beautiful additions to the right family. We know all dogs have the potential to be great companions and we want to give every dog the chance to reach that potential. Don't let yourself become a statistic or "put up with" an unruly dog.

We had a fantastic experience working with Sarah. Our dog (an accidental COVID puppy) had issues related to a lack of confidence and needing socialization, and we had struggled to help her with this. In six weeks (5 sessions) of working with Sarah, we saw incredible progress in her confidence. We also really appreciated how much the course was customized around behavior modification techniques for our dog’s unique needs. I am very glad to have found this program, and would recommend to anyone.

I had such a good experience with The Dog Wizard. Our 1-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix has been reactive towards people for the past few months, and we were really starting to feel a bit hopeless about it. I truly didn't think 5 training sessions would be enough to remedy this, but Sarah was seriously incredible. She taught me everything I needed to know to build a really solid foundation with my dog. By week 3, I had multiple people tell me she just seemed like a different dog all around. The fact that they allow you to come to the group classes once you finish training is also amazing. Knowing that we can have lifetime support is invaluable. I really can't say enough nice things about Sarah and about JR (who I only spoke to on the phone, but made me feel like I had called the right people IMMEDIATELY). Affordable, effective, and, most importantly, empathetic.

We had such a great experience with our Minnie at The Dog Wizard! Sarah was wonderful and made us (first time dog parents leaving their dog for 7 days) feel very comfortable throughout the experience. She sent regular updates on how Minnie was progressing and some videos of her training. Minnie came back with much more knowledge and much sharper on her commands. She LOVES to train and we have been enjoying working through the commands Sarah taught us. Sarah came back in for a check-up and it was super valuable to us to run through some additional training together. Would highly recommend this program!

Sarah was amazing! She really helped me and my dog start our new journey together. We did the 2 week board and train program. I am very busy through out the week so this was a perfect way to jump start our training journey and Sarah made it all worth it for us. When you complete there programs you have access to the twice a month support group training meeting. Makes us feel like we will always be supported.

Sarah is absolutely wonderful and has worked wonders for my lab. I highly recommend her and everyone I have come in contact with at the Dog Wizard.
