The Dog Wizard Westlake

Balanced toolkit, broad menu

The Dog Wizard's Westlake location is led by head trainer Kurtis, with co-owner Savanna Tolley and a team of trainers. The brand describes itself as "certified balanced trainers" whose philosophy "values patience, clarity, and consistency while delivering real, lasting results." Trainers are "well versed in a variety of training tools; from food to collars to remote collars," so owners should expect a balanced approach that can include e-collar work.

Formats for every situation

The service list is unusually wide: day training, private lessons, group classes, board-and-train, and puppy programs, plus problem-solving for barking, chewing, jumping, and leash pulling, and specialized tracks for resource guarding, dog aggression, separation anxiety, rescue dogs, and socialization. Boarding and daycare round it out. The Dog Wizard brand has operated "since 2005 helping families nationwide." As a franchise, individual location experience varies, but the balanced method, deep format flexibility, and serious behavior-case coverage are the headline strengths.
