We had an amazing experience with Chuck at Dayton Dog Wizard.
Our 1.5 year old rescue (Great Pyr / Collie mix), Tuck, had a rough start in life (chained to a porch) and was both unconfident and reactive when we got him. Seeing another dog, person, or even a trash can from a distance would set him off, and it was hard to calm him down.

My 10 month old puppy, Marcus, came to Dayton Dog Wizard on the 10 day training program. He started out a frustrated and out of control mess.

Learning how to communicate with Marcus has been a wonderful experience for both of us! I highly recommend Dayton Dog Wizard !!!
