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.

I was super nervous about leaving my dog at a training camp since Axel and I were glued to the hip, but I’m so glad I chose The Dog Wizard. Bri was phenomenal with our Boxer! Axel came back like a brand new dog—still his goofy self, but now with confidence and calmness. In just 2.5 weeks, his reactivity and insecurity transformed.
The bond Bri and Axel built was amazing & they’re truly BFFs now! (& Axel doesn’t like very many people lol) At my first training class after graduation, it was clear how much the trainers genuinely care; they remembered each dog’s name, personality, strengths, and areas to improve. Plus, the graduate classes are an awesome way to stay consistent and keep growing together.
What really stood out was the ongoing support. Bri even scheduled a follow-up after drop-off, which helped so much. To this day, she’s still continuing to answer my questions that I’ve probably already asked dozen of times already.
I highly recommend Bri and The Dog Wizard—you’ll get lasting results and lifelong support!☺️

After his graduation, Romeo has been well-behaved, and we are most appreciative of the fact that we can now take him out with us with confidence that he will obey our voice commands.

We took our 3-1/2 yr old poodle mix to The Dog Wizard for behavioral issues. The experience we had was far beyond what we expected or imagined. Everyone was so nice and Briauna, Griffin’s trainer, was the best!! When he was brought back into the home, Bri was very thorough and patient in teaching us all the commands and was always available if we had questions afterwards. This company is dedicated on making sure all issues are resolved even after your pup leaves the facility. I would 100% highly recommend The Dog Wizard for your training needs!

We have a stubborn 6 year old pitbull who was scared of his own shadow but after a few weeks working with Patrick we have seen significant changes in his behavior and self confidence. Great experience, communication and service from both our trainer and the facility. Will be using again with our other dog and future pets !
