Our Take

The Dog Wizard Richmond is a balanced dog training location serving Richmond, Chesterfield, and the surrounding areas (Glen Allen is covered by a separate nearby location).

Training is customized and hands on for dogs of any size or age, covering obedience and behavior modification. The team deliberately trains in a mix of environments and real locations, from quiet homes to busier public spots, so a dog learns to hold its manners in the same situations its owner actually encounters day to day.
