The business does not have a one-size-fits-all approach to training. Each dog owner team receives a customized program designed to fit specific needs after a free evaluation, so individualized system pricing varies.

About the Trainer

What’s Unique About The Dog Wizard Sarasota, In Their Words

The Dog Wizard Sarasota has built such a strong local presence that many clients discover the team by chance at area farmers markets, and a visit to the home-style training facility is often what seals the decision to enroll. Programs are designed with a clear progression in mind, building toward Canine Good Citizen certification and, for some dogs, a future in therapy work, with a track record that includes multiple successful transformations of deaf dogs written off as unmanageable elsewhere. Daily photo and video updates on Facebook and Instagram keep owners connected throughout training, and Saturday graduate meetings keep skills sharp long after the program ends.

Our Take

The Dog Wizard Sarasota offers a team of experienced dog trainers specializing in behavior and obedience dog training services. They provide accessible, proven techniques that last a lifetime, with flexible training plans and mobile dog training options. Training includes lifetime support.

Their dog training goes beyond basic commands, focusing on helping dogs make better choices and respond to owners instead of impulses. They teach essential obedience commands and ensure dogs stay engaged and follow through even in distracting environments.

The goal is to enhance a dog’s understanding of obedience, making it a natural part of their behavior. Additional services include boarding, doggie day care, grooming & grooming acclimation, and retail & pet products.
