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.

We sent our four month old puppy, Cannoli, to the Dog Wizard for the 2 week board and train. Our ultimate goal was just to make sure Cannoli could be the best version of herself and also to get training for us to ensure we can help her do that. As you can imagine, it’s very difficult leaving your dog for two weeks with strangers but at the initial evaluation, you will quickly learn how thorough and kind everyone that works there is. Kat was amazing with our baby and has laid an amazing foundation for us. I knew Cannoli was getting a lot of love and all the training she needed. She went on more field trips and had more fun than I do! When Kat brought Cannoli back to our house for our last training, she showed me how to do all commands and made sure I was comfortable before she left. While I have all faith in my puppy, I was very impressed with how well she knows her commands and how great she is on the leash. I know the rest is up to me now :) I highly recommend Kat and the dog wizard for anyone considering getting their dog trained.
Kat did a wonderful job training my fur baby. When I dropped her off, she jumped, didn’t listen to recoil and pulled on the leash everywhere we went. When I got her back she was a completely different dog, she is perfect on a leash, listens to commands and has a much calmer demeanor. I couldn’t be happier with the progress that Kat has made. Highly recommend The Dog Wizard.

We adopted a beautiful 4 1/2 month old bloodhound puppy, who was smart and stubborn. She was incredibly fearful of any noise, and of all other dogs. We had several friends recommend Bri and her team at The Dog Wizard to us for help. We met with them with our puppy, and mutually decided the best course of action would be a two week immersion into training. It was a huge decision, as when my wife and I married we had 6 dogs, and had never had one formally trained, nor had we even ever had one of our pups boarded, choosing instead to have friends or family stay with our doggies. We met at The Dog Wizard Facility, where were immediately impressed with the cleanliness and loving, caring staff, but more importantly our puppy loved everyone there, and wanted to stay. We took her back the following week to drop her off over our tears and fears, but left knowing she was in great hands. During our two weeks apart, Bri started a text group with us for regular updates from her training and field trips, and we could see the transformation happening. She was out with people and other dogs, and seemed completely comfortable! When the day came for her “graduation”, she came home to us with Bri and two of her team members. The transformation was astounding and wonderful. They took their time to explain the training she had undergone, and our responsibilities to keep it going. Honestly we were overjoyed for our puppy, as she came home happier, unafraid, and on a path to a life where she can come with us to parks, restaurants, shopping, road trips, or anywhere else we choose to take her, without fear of her jumping on people, chewing our furniture, being afraid of other dogs, and just having a safer, happier life. Initially we had been afraid they might train the fun and puppy out of her, but nothing could be further from the truth! She is the same sweet, fun loving, curious puppy, just without the bad habits and fear. Thank you will never be enough to Bri and her amazing team! We highly recommend anyone who wants a better life for themselves and their dog to go see the team at The Dog Wizard!!

We found you on Google and are very pleased. Bri is an awesome trainer, very responsive in communicating, very knowledgeable and experienced. We had to move our mother here and that came with an untrained dog of 3 years. Bri was able to break her of her VERY Stubborn habits, train her on all the basic commands and we received a new dog back. We hope that we can continue Bri's hard work and continue to have a happy well behaved dog for many years. I would highly recommend The Dog Wizard and Bri for your dog. Thank You so much Bri as the last thing we wanted was to have to rehome Zena and I believe we will now be able to keep her and also have her coexist with Chicka as well. Let our home training begin. Hope to make you proud when we see you for the follow up .
