Dog training for separation anxiety in Minnesota

At The Dog Wizard Twin Cities, we take the guesswork out of dog training by creating clear, proven training plans tailored to each dog and family. We help puppies and adult dogs build safe, reliable obedience through private lessons, group classes, and immersive Board & Train programs. Using positive reinforcement, fair corrections, and preventive structure, we address everything from leash pulling and impulse control to reactivity, fear, and anxiety. Training doesn’t end with the dog, we coach owners through follow-ups and alumni support classes so skills transfer into real life. Our goal is simple: confident dogs, informed owners, and lasting results across the Twin Cities.

Here at The Family Fido, we believe in making training fun, easy, and positive, all while helping to create top quality family dogs. Dogs and humans communicate very differently, and learn differently from one another. Our goal is to educate the dog, but more importantly, educate the human on how to learn their dogs behaviors and mannerisms so they can be efficient teachers. When you are able to understand your dog and use positive, appropriate training techniques, you are able to create a stronger bond with your dog, all while creating a well mannered dog in your home and out in public. All of our training techniques are 100% positive reward-based, and will never use any form of punishment that could inhibit your dog's success.

Programs include canine good citizen preparation, obedience training and puppy training.
