Definitely Please Read!!!!…read more I was EXTREMELY cautious about who I wanted to train my dog Bandit (German Shepherd) who is 2 years old. We were told by our Veterinarian that Bandit has severe anxiety, fear and can be aggressive. I knew I would rather not work with a negative reinforcement training company. The training at Medina Dog Wizard is not negative at all in my experience. Steve and Aurelia began with them teaching Bandit boundaries that we could utilize at home. They also send guides to read to assist you at home after the training. Medina Dog Wizard also establishes rules and commands to help establish a good relationship with your dog. I was able, with the trainer's help, to figure out what works best for handling Bandit. I tried another dog trainer in the county, paying a lot of money. That company told me to get a harness, but my dog pulled severely, and my wife had very little control of him on our walks. We dropped off Bandit for two weeks at Medina Dog Wizard, they worked with him. Through working with Steve, the owner and trainer, we've learned that he reacts *extremely well* to wearing a prong collar, and slip leash and makes things much safer for the dog, my family and me. We also established commands for Bandit like lay down, place, heel, free, and kennel. They help you figure out what works best for your dog and you! That being said, I can't say enough outstanding things about Steve and Aurella at the Medina Dog Wizard. From talking to them on the phone and at the consultation, I immediately felt like they understood why Bandit was behaving the way he was. Even when training is complete, you go to Saturday's walks. During the walk, you have interactions with other dogs and have mini training where the trainer's assists you. Medina Dog Wizard goes above and beyond just the lessons. I have reached out to Medina Dog Wizard when Bandit was anxious when I was going to the store or putting him in his cage at night. Steve had some great tips that made it easier for us to handle these situations with my dog. They also offer boarding for the day if you go on vacation. I am so appreciative and thankful that I found Medina Dog Wizard. This is the best investment I have made in my dog (Bandit's) training.

The Dog Wizard hit my dog and threw a bottle of rocks at the dog cages!!!…read more I took my dog to The Dog Wizard in Medina, Ohio because I was promised that they could train him to my disabilities. However, they trained him like every other dog and I now have a dog I can't control because I'm physically unable to. They did not have handicap accessibility, so when we picked him up we had to stand out in the sun on a 90* day to get instructions on his training. When confronted about not training him to me they offered to come to my home 2x to make it better, but, seriously, what can be done in 2 days!?! I chose to try it and the trainer came in and when my dog would not cooperate she smacked him on the side of his face right in front of me! What!?! When my husband and daughter went to the dog wizard facility for day 2 they witnessed a bottle of rocks being thrown at the dog cages to get them to quiet down. Now I know why my dog is now afraid of noises he wasn't afraid of before. When I asked for a refund I was told, in a not very nice way, absolutely not that it's my fault his training did not work. I just threw $2525.00 down the toilet.

We met Jennifer while she was helping foster a cat we wanted to adopt. Several months later when we…read moreadopted our dog and discovered his nearly debilitating separation anxiety, we asked her for help. She came to our home and helped train him in some basic commands (turns out you *can* teach an old dog new tricks), as well as training us to recognize signs of stress in him and helping us cope with his anxiety. My fiancée had never had a dog before, and even when it looked like we would have to return Tank to the rescue, Jennifer reassured us that things just take time. Finally, through a combination of training with Jennifer and some puppy Prozac (also at Jennifer's suggestion), Tank is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. Also, when we adopted a second cat who did NOT get along with the first cat, Jennifer taught us how to give both cats enough reassurance and sense of safety to make them comfortable with each other. As I write this they're playing together and chasing each other up and down the hall (for such small cats they make a LOT of noise). All of this is to say that without Jennifer we would not be the family that we are. She brought us our first cat, helped us rescue and rehabilitate our dog, and made sure our second cat was safe in our home. We are very grateful to her and would 100% recommend her business to anyone in need of assistance with any pet related issues. She has always been there for us to answer questions or offer support and we can't thank her enough.

Being a retired university professor, I know a little about teaching and training. Remember the teaching is primarily for the owner - with the recipient being the dog. Patience and repetition is the key, of which we here need more of. :) Costs are going up for all business and whether they are reasonable is in the eye of the beholder. A customer should give Cathy and themselves at least one sequence of training to see if there's a fit. She's a good person with good skills, and would not take advantage of anyone. We will continue with Cathy because it's working, albeit not at warp speed. .... and that's because of us, not her. We would recommend her and have already done so on Nextdoor Heckman.

My young Siberian Husky attended the training for a week last year. When I picked him up, he literally clung to me during my training. At the end, I was concerned about a few things but not enough to speak up during my training for the e collar use. My boy was behaving but something felt off. Once I got him in the car to go home, I gave him his toy that he supposedly had access to all week. He literally whimpered and cried and held the toy. He curled up in the seat during the trip home. It was unusual. I did receive pics and a message praising his progress everyday. That was a positive. One year later, we do not use the e collar and I've spent a lot of time working with my boy. My advice is to ask a lot of questions. Specifically about the daily routine of training, play and socialization during the stay at their facility. I don't think I'd go this route again with my dog.
