About Us

The Dog Wizard

The Dog Wizard is a dog training company that seeks to make humans' lives easier and dogs' live better.

The number of unwanted dogs is sitting in shelters right now for behavioral problems is sad. We know that if given the change to train those dogs, they would be sitting at their owner's feet in complete contentment as we speak.

Don't let yourself fall into this boat or live with an unruly dog. We can give you the obedient dog that you desire. A dog that will "come" every time when called. A dog that does not jump on people or destroy your home. And even a dog that can walk off leash. Honestly, the possibilities are limitless with your dog.

What does you dog get out of all this? He gets to go new places, for more walks, and most importantly, be more involved with the family. If you are questioning the ability of our system to work with your dog, don't. We offer free evaluations and guaranteed results or your money back. What do you have to lose?

Additional Information

Tricks or no treats? Collars or no collars? Too much praise or not enough praise? Positive or negative reinforcement? Yet, they all claim to create the "perfect dog." The truth is that most methods have proven a certain amount of success, but few have proven the ability to withstand different circumstances, settings, and conditions.

The trainers at The Dog Wizard are knowledgeable of all proven training methods. After a free evaluation, the trainer will educate you on the pros and cons of each method and make a professional recommendation of the style that will produce the results you desire. The most important part is NOT that your dog learns the "come" command, but that he will do it no matter what else is going on. In other words, what good is the "come" command if your dog will only perform it in a sterile environment? The same is true for all commands. For example, anyone can teach their dog to "sit" on the kitchen floor, but can you get your dog to "sit" at the park as other people, dogs, and kids walk by? Your dog should listen to you whether you are in your kitchen, at the local park, or in the middle of a three-ring circus. In addition, the owner plays a major role in the success of an obedience program. Of course we can teach your dog to perform for us, but our specialty lies in the ability to transfer these skills to you and every member of your family regardless of age, size, or strength (as long as he/she can speak clearly or give hand signals).

Our "recipe for success" has produced successful results for hundreds of dogs. Together, we will teach you dog things you have no idea he was capable of learning. You will obtain an obedient, trustworthy, and calmer companion for the rest of your lives. Sure, a reliable dog makes your life easier, but more importantly your dog's life just got a lot better. Why? Because when you are washing your car in the driveway he can now be with your instead of locked away. He can now go to the soccer games instead of staying at home in the back yard. He can now be inside when guests are visiting without jumping all over them. Again, we cannot emphasize enough that obedience awards freedom in the dog world. Your best friend will be forever grateful for this gift, and the bond you will build in the process is priceless.

We look forward to working with you and your dog!

Testimonials

BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT! I am a college student and adopted my dog from the pound in July. He was wild at first since he was about a year old when I got him. I researched a lot of trainers and ways to train dogs and met with Cranston for a consultation. My dog jumped on people, didn't know any basic commands, fought to get out of any open door, and chewed everything. Cranston was phenomenal with my dog. He had him perfectly behaved in just a few weeks... --- Nany- Dec 26, 2011

We have a very handsome Australian Sheherd named Buddy. Since we adopted him around the age of 2 months from a shelter he has had severe anxiety and because of that, aggression towards people--all people except his select group of three of us. This can really make life difficult... --- TSS - Dec 10, 2011
