Marc is the Best dog trainer I recommend 100%
We can’t be happier with Marc at The Dog Wizard! He did amazing with Sal our Belgian Malinois in 2 weeks. We were worried about two brand new grand babies so we didn’t want to take any chances and other trainers that had worked with him on just a day to day basis were not able to get these results! His care and love for the dogs is evident. I cannot recommend him enough!

I can't say enough good things about The Dog Wizard! My dog, Charlie, was a total terror and didn't listen to a word I said. I was at my wit's end, but then I started working with Marc, and the transformation has been incredible. Marc's expertise and patience have turned Charlie into an amazing, well-behaved dog. It's like night and day! I also have to give a huge shout-out to Jessica, who leads the support classes. She's fantastic and makes every session enjoyable and productive. Her tips and guidance have been invaluable. Just a few short months ago, I was afraid to have people over because of Charlie's reactivity. Now, I can't believe that I'm going to be able to take him to a baseball game! It's a dream come true to have a dog that I can trust and enjoy spending time with in public. Thank you, The Dog Wizard team, for giving me the tools and support to make this happen!

I can't thank Jessica and The Dog Wizard enough for the incredible progress we've made with our dog, Max. Jessica's hands-on approach during our private lessons was exactly what we needed. She was incredibly thorough and patient, teaching us how to be consistent with Max to build a healthy, respectful relationship. Jessica's guidance has been invaluable. She didn't just train Max; she trained us too, ensuring we understood how to maintain the progress in our everyday interactions. Thanks to her, Max is now well-behaved and can come with us to the coffee shop without any issues. It's such a joy to be able to include Max in our outings and know he'll be calm and well-mannered. Thank you, Jessica, for your dedication and expertise. You've made a world of difference for our family and Max!
