The Dog Wizard Knoxville

Jaiden was amazing!! Took my 1 year old husky to the board and train jumpstart program and have seen a huge difference in her behavior already. I was notified and sent pictures everyday of what they were learning and doing. Additionally, Jaiden did a really great job of explaining all of the new tricks and commands to me so I could continue to work on them at home. Overall, I would 100% recommend the Dog Wizard (especially Jaiden)!!!

We did a 14 day board and train puppy jump start program with trainer Beth for our 5 month old puppy, and Beth has been amazing! Prior to training, I reached out to her on a couple of occasions to ask for recommendations on problem areas (leash biting and hand biting in particular), which she was happy to answer. During the board and train, she shared routine updates and photographs with us, which was so fun to see her progress! Since our puppy came home, we have seen huge improvement! Of course there are times we still have to correct her, but that is to be expected as she is still a puppy. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience and we are so grateful to Beth, Trent, and the rest of the Dog Wizard Team!

Working with Trent at The Dog Wizard was an amazing experience. Our puppy has made a night-and-day improvement, especially with recall and focusing despite distractions - skills she didn’t know at all before and has now mastered. The variety and consistency of the classes made it well worth the money and time spent.

We love this place!!!! I did so much research before we took our fur baby to a puppy program and The Dog Wizard was the most affordable one plus they have locations in different states so you can continue to enjoy the lifetime support that they offer, even if you move to another city. To be honest, my husband and I were hesitating at the beginning because it sounded “too good to be true” but once we met our puppy’s trainer Jen, she was awesome, very patient and has such a great way of explaining things. We knew we were in the right place! Piper graduated from the Puppy Program and will soon start off leash training in Georgia, since we’re moving! Piper was super unconfident and shy at the beginning of the class, she was scared of other dogs. She successfully graduated and at her 4th or 5th class, we could notice how she was becoming more confident with herself and with other dogs while playtime. We highly recommend The Dog Wizard for your furry friends and your families. I promise you, it’s life changing 🥹❤️

Trent at The Dog Wizard met with us and discussed options that would best suit Millie--a high drive, high energy, high anxiety, dog selective, sweet girl--when she was five months old. We've completed basic and advanced training, and we attend the biweekly grad support to help Millie (and me) on issues like leash reactivity and holding position in anxiety-inducing situations. I feel supported by everyone at The Dog Wizard. I've never been shamed because Millie may bark or react poorly to a new situation; it's a learning opportunity for both of us. I'm especially grateful for the daycare. The staff worked with Millie and got to know her rather than kicking her out because she can be a little extra at times. She loves daycare and from what I can tell the folks at daycare love her too. I will always recommend The Dog Wizard for dog (and people) training. The methods are legit. And I have a more balanced dog because of it.
