I recently adopted a rescue dog who was in a bad hoarding situation and he was terrified of…read moreabsolutely everything and had lots of issues. I had him for four VERY LONG weeks. Things were awful. I was miserable, frankly depressed, and felt like I'd made one of the biggest mistakes of my life adopting Fred. I love dogs, and thought long and hard before adopting one. Despite that, it took all I had to not send him back...something I never thought I'd consider. Three weeks in I was at my wit's end and literally about to text the foster mom who had Fred before me, just minutes before my free consultation with Tara at The Dog Wizard. Tara talked me off a ledge and told me she's dealt with extremely difficult cases like Fred before - one in particular who is now thriving today. So I gave her a chance and enrolled him in the 3 week program. She offered to keep him longer if needed without additional charge if she felt he needed it. You could tell she wanted to help him (and me) and cares deeply about the dogs she works with. Long story short, Fred spent 6 weeks there (just to show you how much help he needed)! I got Fred back today and I am absolutely shocked at the change in him. I don't want this post to get too long, but he doesn't constantly shake anymore, he'll go up to strangers and act comfortable around them, he's less anxious around other dogs, he knows and follows commands, he doesn't dart away from me all the time, and just seems so much more comfortable, confident, and relaxed overall. I honestly was prepared to still take him back to the rescue, that's how bad things were (I felt very hopeless). Not only do I not see that happening now, but I see hope for lots of bonding in our future. And Tara offers ongoing support after training - group classes, continued training, etc. I can't say enough good things about Tara and her staff at The Dog Wizard! If you're hesitating, don't! I promise you it's worth every penny. The picture is Fred resting his head on my belly tonight. Before The Dog Wizard he'd be hiding in another room by now if I even shifted an inch, and probably would be shaking. You can see he is the opposite of that here

I felt so at ease knowing my two dog babies were well cared for during the 14 day Board & Train. I received a very detailed and thorough check-in call every 3 days while they were gone. They posted photos daily - so I never felt out of touch as to what was going on. At the end of our 14 days, we had a one on one training that has prepared me to continue growing my dog's new skills. I feel so confident moving forward taking both dogs out for long walks and to social gatherings. I look forward to many more group training sessions and hangs with the team. Definitely get your pups registered here!

They even will take a picture every now and then of my dog and send to me on his walks.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible party to walk their pet during the day!

She has separate fenced zones for little dogs and big, they can go in and out to play, and she made sure that my large new rescue, a young and tall lab mix, had the company of a wise older Great Dane and a playful younger dog. My older dog had his own safe area. That fellow is an escape artist in storms, but Michele was alert to his nervous behavior and looked after him. You just feel like the dogs are minded well and loved. We will return. Our dogs seemed happy and not at all eager to leave their canine camp-out! One note, she is not grooming large dogs anymore, she maybe does smaller breeds. Best inquire.

The first time around we did not follow the directions to maintain Zeus's training but learned how important the maintenance of the training actually was.

John even stopped by from time to time when he was in the area to see how we were doing.

John and Tonya are just great with the dogs! Huge improvement with our Anatolian Shepherd after…read morethe initial training. K9 Good Manners guarantees their training by ensuring the dog can pass the test of a list of commands by the end of the course. Ours was maybe a little slow, so John kept him for an extra couple of weeks at no additional charge to work with him some more. Yes, the dogs are crated when not being worked during short training sessions several times a day, so if that burns you, then go elsewhere. But really, where is the training facility or kennel for that matter that doesn't have to leave dogs mainly confined for safety reasons? I like to think of it as a dog boot camp. Your dog won't come back after 6 weeks completely fixed from every bad behavior and able to do everything a trained LEO dog can do. But you'll have a great baseline to continue to build obedience as you work and grow with your dog.
