Before working with Upstate Dog Wizard, life with our newly adopted dog Paxton came with a learning curve. We adopted Paxton from the Humane Society when he was about 2½ years old, and while he had some basic training, he was still adjusting and we needed help with guidance and acclimating a newly adopted dog into our home. Walks were stressful because he pulled constantly on the leash and reacted to distractions, and when people came to our home he would get overly excited and jump on guests. Listening was inconsistent and ... read more

We rescued a 1 year old and she was a LOT. We have two cats and a toddler and integrating her into our life was not smooth at all. We looked at a couple training companies and ended up going with UDW. Meg was our trainer and she was amazing. Super professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and always in a good mood. We did the 5 week course and by the end there was a marked improvement in all the areas we had asked her to help us with. That’s even with our busy schedule and not doing as much as we should have between... read more

I cannot recommend Sara with Dog Wizard enough! We reached out because our dog, Julie, was struggling with house training, leash etiquette and pulling.

If you want to improve your pet's behavior and build a b... read more

Krissy and The Dog Wizard are truly the best in the business! Our nine-month-old puggle, Baxter (who is definitely more beagle!), was a good, happy dog with a TON of energy, but he had some behaviors we simply weren’t able to correct on our own—separation anxiety, especially with me (aka Mommy), nipping, nonstop barking, chewing everything in his path, and generally being difficult to manage. From the very beginning, Krissy was amazing. She kept us informed about Baxter’s progress, gave us tips and support before, during, a... read more

We had an amazing experience with The Dog Wizard in Greer! Our two dogs, Roger and Oakley, completed the 14-day board and train program this summer. The difference in their behavior is incredible. Before training, it was a challenge to take them out in public without feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed by their behavior. Now, they listen so well at home and in new environments — it’s like we have brand new dogs! The trainers, Krissy and Megan, were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about what they do. They g... read more
