Daycare runs from 6:30am to 7:00pm, Monday-Friday. Drop-off times are between 6:30am9:30am, and pick-up times are between 4:30pm7:00pm. At this time, we do not offer half days.

Our Duke and Banks completed the 14 day stay and train program. We loved the communication and all the help we got with the process. We will continue to utilize available support groups and look for ways to continue to support our pups with the great trainers.

Beau graduated from training! We are all getting there after two years since the trauma. It’s a blessing to have come this far in such a short time.
Only a few people truly understand what I have been through and the dogs as well. It’s unconscionable to believe my story but it happened. God redeems and He is the final judge.
So very thankful for The Dog Wizard Westlake (North Ridgeville) Kurtis and now Megan. They say you have golden connections that are God’s way of matching you up when you need it. Kurtis talked to me on the phone at my worst time just months after the departure of my “residents” and Abbie was as broken as I was, tense and so full of anxiety from all the screaming and yelling for four years. She actually was protecting me going behind me on the couch just above my head and I never knew that is what it meant. We were all on eggshells every day and it was in my house! I own it, I pay for it, I pay the utilities but it was destroyed by people who didn’t care and wanted to live like pigs and do it on my dime.
Well, it’s a new season. Two years ago, this Sunday there was a new life coming and we have done a lot of work. Abbie, me and Beau. Samuel went through it just as bad and he was my champion.
We had pup cups tonight to celebrate Beau’s great work. I had to work on what the trainer did every morning and night and it was hard work. Now we continue the work with The Dog Wizard group walks every other Saturday and continue the growth journey.
I am truly grateful to God for bringing such wonderful people into my life. We are now part of the pack.

Incredibly knowledgeable and patient staff! Gabby was fantastic with our extremely anxious dog. She was patient and kind with him and treated him like her own. He is much more relaxed and focused and we are so grateful for the help! Also very excited about the support offered after training is finished. True professionals - highly recommend!
