Check out Bindi conquering her fears! 🐾 Watch till the end to see her excitement on the bins! When we first arrived at Home Depot, she was scattered and anxious, but after guiding her through her fears, she started to relax and enjoy the experience! 🐶😁 #thedogwizardchantilly #DogTraining #confidencebuilding
An e-collar trained dog is a free dog! 🐕 Watch how our Dog Wizard board & trains enjoy the freedom to explore while maintaining impeccable control and communication. 🐾 No dog park experience can compare to the bond of respect and connection we’ve built! #thedogwizardchantilly #advancedobedience #dogtraining
This long line drill is an attention getting exercise that builds trust, relationship, and leadership. Axel is learning to be mindful of where his handler is going and to follow in that direction. #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obedience #akita #advancedobedience
It’s Tanner’s last day here with us!
Tanner is ADOPTABLE through Compact Canine Rescue!
This guy is a total sweetheart and just wants a lap to cuddle up in and a friend to play with. Tanner is dog and cat friendly! Although a little wary of men, he is willing to try—as you can see in this video! We’re so happy to have worked with Compact Canine and the We Rate Dogs Foundation to get Tanner started out on the right foot.

Puppy class was so fun this morning! We worked on confidence building! Confidence building is super important for puppies. They will learn they are capable of more than they think they are! #thedogwizardchantilly #puppyclass #puppytraining
Tanner is out and about at One Loudoun! When Tanner first came to us, he was very nervous of everything and had some major stranger danger especially with men. Now, he is out in public confidently walking around. He’s such a sweet and happy boy!! He is available for adoption!!! Message us for more information! #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #rescuedog #rescuedogsrock
We are increasing the distraction during walks for Kol! Kol is a social animal. He wants to be best friends with every dog he sees! He’s learning how to be neutral and focused during his walks! #thedogwizardchantilly #bernedoodle #looseleashwalking
Check out Tilly on her last day of “school”!
Tilly just finished her 6 Day Train program and we are so thrilled with her progress and her continual happy attitude.
We went to Lowe’s and the Village at Leesburg to proof and test her skills, as well as get used to practicing obedience in a harness! Tilly impressed us at every obstacle and challenge. Go Tilly!!

Tilly, Violet, Ulysses, Scooby, Cannoli, and Teddy are all working on having a calm state of mind around each other on place. The indirect socialization of learning how to be calm around other dogs is just as important as direct socialization! #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #placecommand #obediencetraining #australianshepherd #cattledog #wheatenterrier #shepherdmix #fluffyfrenchie #minigoldendoodle
Ebba and Bean are enjoying their Sunday! ☀️ #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining
Puppy wrestle mania!! These puppies are learning communication and social skills in puppy class! We let them learn how to instinctually communicate with each other while maintaining appropriate play. #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obediencetraining #dogsocial
Rebel is in our 2 week board and train program!! She is working on human socialization because she is nervous around new people and the environment she is in! She’s learning in this video that new people come with a reward, creating a positive association! #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #confidencebuilding
It’s a PAWty!!!! Check out these dogs socialization skills!! They are learning how to properly communicate with each other and how to listen to communication signs that the other dogs are showing!

Check out this recall! Tsuki is in our private freedom program. He has been working hard to earn his off leash privileges! No matter the distance, Tsuki knows to come when asked! He was having so much fun with his new freedom!! #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obediencetraining #recalltraining
This is HUGE progress for Ulysses!!!! He is very nervous in new environments and just a few days ago, he was pacing in circles, unable to calm down and process his thoughts at this same town center. Now, he is calmly walking on the sidewalk through One Loudoun! Showing Ulysses that he is capable of more than he thinks is very important for his socialization. We aren’t letting him give up, even if it is a scary/busy environment.

It’s not all about sit, down, stay. With puppies, it’s all about the learning mindset and setting them up for success. Spend time socializing and working your puppy’s worldview now to avoid trouble later! #thedogwizardgeorgetown #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obediencetraining #puppytraining #boxer
Dog training isn’t always action packed! Ulysses is at Reston Town Center learning how to be neutral out in public. Ulysses gets nervous around people, dogs, moving objects, etc. so teaching him how to relax in public is helping him become more emotionally balanced and how to have a calm state of mind. #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obediencetraining #wheatenterrier
Tilly, Ulysses, and Fleury were at One Loudoun today practicing all of their skills around distractions. These pups are learning how to focus on their person rather than the people, cars, other dogs, kids, etc. around them. #thedogwizardchantilly #dogtraining #obediencetraining
Fleury’s puppy energy is a lot to handle! Watch how Maeve communicates to him. Learning how to read a dogs body language is an important part of a puppy’s development
Turn your volume on if you want to hear Olly’s battle cry! 🦁🤣 Smol body, BIG heart! ❤️
