The Dog Wizard Fredericksburg - Private Dog Training - Fredericksburg, VA
At our pet training service, we pride ourselves on transforming dog behavior through a comprehensive approach that combines expertise and compassion. With credentials in Detection Dog Training, Dog Obedience Training, and Pet Behavior Modification, our team has been serving pets and their families since October 2020. We cater to a variety of animals, primarily focusing on puppies and dogs, and offer the flexibility of both in-person and online sessions. Whether it's an energetic puppy starting as early as 8 weeks or a mature dog needing behavior refinement, we are here to help.
Our diverse suite of services includes Puppy Classes, Obedience Classes (both on-leash and off-leash), and specialized Board/Train Programs lasting two to three weeks. For those seeking one-on-one attention, our private lessons are designed to equip your pet with skills that go beyond basic commands like Sit, Come, or Down. We emphasize teaching your dog to make thoughtful choices and prioritize listening over impulsive reactions, ensuring they can respond reliably even in the most distracting environments. This holistic approach isn't just about obedience; it's about embedding a lifestyle of attentive engagement and responsible behavior.
We understand the importance of ongoing support, which is why we offer Free Weekly Graduate support classes for the lifetime of our Graduate dogs. Our commitment doesn't end with the completion of a program; instead, we continue to support our clients and their pets long after training concludes. With a flexible cancellation policy and mobile services available, we make training convenient and accessible for all pet parents. Ready to get started?
