The Dog Wizard Nashville

Mark was our trainer for Parker, and I cannot recommend him enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly. We felt comfortable leaving Parker with him for three weeks, and very happy with the results.

Melissa was incredible to work with and made such a difference for our 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, Hazel. Hazel struggled with anxiety, reactivity, and some difficult behaviors, and Melissa was patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to truly understand Hazel and gave us tools and advice that actually worked. We’ve seen such an improvement in Hazel’s confidence and behavior, and training sessions were always positive and encouraging. Melissa clearly cares deeply about the dogs, and it shows in the way she trains. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective dog trainer!

We had an amazing experience with Melissa as our dog trainer. We started our puppy, Teddy at 12 weeks old. He’s learned puppy basics, leash training, some fun tricks, and he even got to make some puppy friends in group class (socialization!). He absolutely loved working with her, and we learned so much as owners too! I would 100% recommend Melissa/Dog Wizard

We worked with Jessie P. who helped our dogs with some overprotective aggression inside the house. That started to escalate tremendously over last year or so. Our dogs are the best of friends outside but have to be separated inside due to fights breaking out. Working with Jess helped calm my nerves so much and the training goes both ways for the owners and the dogs. Their training techniques have helped our dogs tremendously. We can’t say enough good things about working with this service and Jess! All around we are so happy we decided to work with the Dog Wizard 🐕

Jessie is an exceptional trainer! She worked with my toy poodle, Sister, through private lessons and a recent board-and train program. Sister had a tough start-limited exposure to the outside world during her first 8 months and a strong willed personality. We struggled with impulsive biting and intense reactions to other dogs during walks. After working with Jessie, Sister returned home noticeably more confident and calm, especially on walks. Jessie’s patience, creativity, and genuine care made all the difference. She truly understood my pup and tailored her approach with love and expertise. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
