FirstBarkWe brought Bambi as a 12 week old puppy and Kaylee was wonderful helping us teach her basic commands and good behavior. She focused on specific needs of us and Bambi and not just the curriculum of the program. We look forward to continuing working with Bambi as she grows up and using the skills learned from Kaylee and Dog Wizard.

Highly recommend The Dog Wizard for your dog training needs. Mallory was an incredible instructor who really understands your specific dog's needs and explains everything in the way I could understand! Thank you Mallory for everything!

When I got Sebastian his separation anxiety was unreal. Whining, crying and chew thru his crate was an eye opener. I reached out to Mike and he immediately responded. He went above and beyond by taking him a few days early to begin his program. Kaylee and Mallory were amazing and so gentle with him while training him. Kaylee responded to my texts immediately, both her and Mike kept in the loop the entire time. When it came time to take him home, I was so nervous but Kaylee kept me positive and answered every text immediately helping me with reinforcing all he had learned. If I could give this a thousand stars I would. Don’t wait if your pup needs a place to be trained humanely. This is you place. I have truly enjoyed this and will be at the support groups they offer! They even arranged for a mobile groomer to groom him before take home day! Mike,Kaylee and Mallory you are now part of our family. Thank you.
Mike and Mallory are AWESOME! So very, very glad that we brought our rescue pup to The Dog Wizard! They helped our girl find confidence in herself…she had the best time in “school” with Ms. Mallory! THANK YOU for a great experience! Very highly recommend!
Mallory is a true dog whisperer! My two dogs had a lot to work on as they work on becoming a pack of three with my fiance's dog. They are nearly unrecognizable as their former selves.

Mallory is a true dog whisperer! My two dogs had a lot to work on as they work on becoming a pack of three with my fiance's dog. They are nearly unrecognizable as their former selves. I took them to my niece's flag football game recently and they calmly sat there, despite people, dogs, crowds, and a number of things competing for their attention. I loved the easily broken down steps and how much my dogs have changed for the better. Can't recommend them enough!
