This little wizard graduate can finally say “mischief managed” 🪄
We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know this family since Bear was in puppy school. Now he’s finished the adult classes and has ✨freedom from the leash✨

Welcome to the alumni fam, Bear! We are so so proud of you! 💜💙

🎓🐾 Support Class Spotlight: Hokulani! 🐾🎓

We’re beyond proud of Hokulani for graduating from our Board and Train program! 🐶✨ After weeks of hard work and dedication, this sweet pup is thriving and has made incredible progress. It’s been amazing watching them grow into a confident, well-mannered dog who’s ready to take on the world!

🐾 Here’s what her family had to say about their experience:

"A huge thank you to the — I can’t thank you & Marco, enough. Before her training, Hokulani went through a difficult phase where she became very fearful, and anxious with everything. Taking her on walks or around people was extremely stressful because she would overreact out of fear or with aggressive barking.
I decided to do a two-week board & train program with Marco at the Dog Wizard of Chattanooga and the results were incredible. Now, I can comfortably take her anywhere, knowing she’s relaxed and that I have full control of her in any situation. It’s wonderful to see Hokulani interacting with people, their pets & other dogs again, without any fear or anxiety."

Congrats, Hokulani! We love seeing you at Support Class and helping keep that positive momentum going! We're very proud of her family and the work they've put in following the program 💜🎉🐕

We are SO excited to share this… 🤩
After ✨four✨ years in the shelter with the amazing Humane Educational Society staff working with her daily, coming to our support classes weekly, and doing what’s right by her, ARIZONA HAS A HOME!! 💙💜💙💜

We came out today for the meet and greet and helped integrate her with her new furry siblings as the family signed their adoption paperwork!

We’ve been rooting for this little sweetheart since we met her. She deserves the best life, and to the little lady.. Arizona, your wait is finally over. Go live your BEST life! 😭🫶

Bandit and Hazelnut are littermates who have joined us for their (harmless) ferociousness around other dogs. The barking, lunging, and just general over-excitement became too much for their family to tolerate.

They are perfect little models for our transitional leash, which doesn’t hold their mouth shut or cause any discomfort. It’s like putting a bridle on a horse, allowing clear communication through gentle leash pressure, avoiding any pressure to their necks.

These two are learning state of mind techniques to help them overcome their reactivity around other dogs, leading to a healthier and happier life!

+2 to the itty-bitty-Wizzy club 👏🏼👏🏼💜💙

This is Cooper, and boy this handsome fella has come a long way since we first met him. He’s in a board and train session for confidence building. He’s so sweet, but he trembles in fear in new places. We’re here to show him that the world isn’t so scary.

Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to building confidence. Cooper’s journey is just beginning in our Jumpstart, but he’ll go home with a solid foundation and a detailed plan to keep the momentum going.

We are rooting for you, Cooper 💪🏼 you got this! 💙💜

Happy Thanksgiving 2024
Happy Thanksgiving 2024

From our family to yours 💙💜🐾

🐾 Support Class 🐾 We spent last week working on leash manners and introductions to other people and dogs in a public setting. Lots of distractions surround our group of Graduates as owners learn how to control the leash and establish a positive environment for their dogs and the dogs around them! Stressful outings with your pup melt away as we perfect the calming games and show our families how to keep their dog’s attention and still socialize with manners on a leash. We love seeing our Alumni at our Free Support Sessions! This opportunity to apply training in real-life settings is what it’s all about!

🐾 Puppy Socials are the best time of the week!

No more tangled leashes for Pancake and Syrup after their Jumpstart Board and Train! 😜

John Hayes Franchise Owner & Trainer

Born and raised in Chickamauga, GA, John Hayes was born into a family with working breed dogs. His interest in studying dog behavior began at a young age, with his grandfather’s dog “Pep”, who had a close bond with John. Pep was a border collie who did not allow certain people to get near John, and John wanted to know why.

John Hayes’ dog training career over the last 10 years has blossomed from hobbyist training into various facets of the dog training community professionally. Aside from his strides helping families train their pets in obedience professionally, his time spent researching canine behavior and competition obedience provided the opportunity to begin service dog work.

John was a member of a team in Knoxville who helped train the world’s first Addison’s Disease Alert dog. John has since gone on to train Therapy Dogs, PTSD Service Dogs, Emotional Support Animals, Police K9 Narcotic and Paraphernalia Detection dogs, Diabetic Alert, Psychiatric Alert and Support, Mobility and Autism support, and SAR dogs. He is also one of a limited number of trainers certified to train cancer detection dogs through the InSitu Foundation.
