About The Dog Wizard - Dog & Puppy Obedience Training Fort Myers
The Dog Wizard Fort Myers helps dog owners regain control and confidence through structured training that delivers real, lasting change. We work with puppies and adult dogs through board-and-train Jumpstart programs, private lessons, day school, support classes, and ongoing daycare and boarding for graduates. Families often come to us for help with leash pulling, reactivity, anxiety, aggression, destructive behaviors, and everyday manners. Training takes place at our facility, in the home, and out in real-world environments so dogs learn to stay calm and reliable beyond the session. A key part of our process is coaching owners step by step, so progress continues long after training ends.

My Janny's trainer was Bri. There are many reasons for Bri's success in training. She is caring, patient, great communicator and highly skilled. Janny was excited from drop off to pickup. The program is very interactive which includes field trips. A safe and positive environment is always at the forefront which is so important. Pet owners are guided every step of the way to continue this journey at home. I highly recommend The Dog Wizard if you are considering pet training.

We came to the Dog Wizard needing some help with our girl Marley. She’s had issues with reactivity towards dogs and people, pulling on the leash and trouble with distractions. We decided on doing the 2 week jumpstart camp. Briauna was her trainer and she did an amazing job! She gave Marley the confidence she needed and deserved. Bri has driven Marley in the right direction and she is so much better with things we used to really stress about. She also gave us the tools we needed so we could continue training Marley ourselves. She provided us with lots of pictures and updates, which gave us comfort and made us so proud of her progress! Thank you Corrie, Bri and everyone at the Dog Wizard for helping and taking care of Marley as well as taking a huge weight off her mom and dads shoulders!
Kat is professional and courteous and it's obvious she knows what she's talking about. Recommend ☑️

We have had both of our dogs trained at this location. Bri was amazing with our Malinois building confidence and help overcome his insecurities which has changed him for the better. Mike did a wonderful job with instructional training with our goofy Shepherd mix. We boarded them there also. Very nice and clean facility. The staff overall is great!, friendly and supportive. The biggest plus for me is that they continue to offer support after the training is completed. Pack walks, follow up training sessions, pack outings, responsive texting answering questions, etc... Just been an incredible experience
