Testimonials

“Harry and Zara took our rescue and turned her from a dog I was afraid to have to give back because of resource guarding and made her the most well trained dog I’ve ever had. The post-training resources and help have ensured I can keep working with her.” – Matthew Brozio, Google review

About the Trainer

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

The Dog Wizard Walnut Creek stands out for its team-based approach, where multiple trainers work alongside families rather than relying on one single instructor, with a philosophy centered on training the owner as much as the dog. Sessions often extend beyond the home, including practice at local dog-friendly parks, and the team offers flexible options like payment plans to make training accessible for more families. From stubborn pugs and giant schnauzers to older dogs and first-time senior owners, clients consistently point to the patience, clear communication, and ongoing support classes that keep them confident long after graduation.

Our Take

The Dog Wizard Walnut Creek runs on a team model, with multiple trainers rotating through a household’s program instead of assigning one instructor for the whole process, and the training focuses as much on the owner as the dog. Sessions often move outside the home to local dog-friendly parks, and payment plans are available for families for whom the full program cost is a stretch.

Clients have ranged from stubborn pugs and giant schnauzers to older rescues and first-time senior dog owners. Reviewers consistently mention the team’s patience and clear communication, plus the group support classes that continue after a program ends. Trainers named by clients include Joseph, Harry, Zara, and Fin.

Programs cover private lessons, group classes, board and train, and day training, with the same behavior work found at other Dog Wizard locations: leash pulling, resource guarding, separation anxiety, reactivity, and dedicated support for rescue and adopted dogs. Training starts with a free evaluation, and programs start at $250 depending on the dog’s needs.
