The Dog Wizard

I could write an essay on my experience at The Dog Wizard. Here’s a few things I experienced as a Trainer. There’s always another trainer there to assist you or guide you if you’re struggling with a dog or client. Your knowledge grows so much and they push you to learn more and take on challenging dogs/ clients.  You build close relationships with the staff. Half of staff could care less about the dog and more about the money. When taking a dog or a new trainer through training it’s all rushed and the e collar is used more as a punishment. New trainers don’t really get an understanding on what Dog Training is and how to train a dog or client. The communication is not that great between the staff. There is rarely organization. 1 trainer ends up cleaning up after the rest of the trainers . The dogs are neglected. Half the time equipment is left on a dog overnight. Where your position as a trainer is isn’t based on experience or knowledge. It’s based on favoritism. No one is really held accountable for their actions it’s just brushed off. 

I love that everyone I've met at The Dog Wizard from the Executive Team to the other Franchisee Owners are passionate about what they do and are doing what they love.  I love how much training I am getting and how effective it is with training dogs.  It feels really good to know we make such a difference in the dog owners' and dogs' lives.  I also love knowing I'm providing a great work environment for my employees through a great salary, bonuses, 401k, great training, flexibility regarding work hours and more.

Can't say enough great things about this company! Not only do they truly care about their employee's... every single one of them, but they care IMMENSELY about their clients in creating the best possible life outcome for their dogs. I've learned valuable professional skills that are being continually cultivated and honed within and by upper management. Workplace culture MATTERS here and we feel this every single day. Overall, THE BEST company to work for!

Overall this isn’t a bad company to work for if you’re just starting out but it’s not the right place for a long term career in dog training. Working with the dogs is the most rewarding part but some clients were difficult and having a manager that doesn’t have your back in this industry and doesn’t know much about the industry itself is hard to deal with. 

I wasn’t even scheduled today, I went home. Everyone vapes there, a lot of drama , nobody helps out, I have pick up after everyone. The management is rude, I had to ask twice when I get paid, they were like we will let you know, I had asked for doggy pouch for three days and nobody still got me one. They are losing money, can’t order supplies. Etc everyone was very rude to me. 

The Dog Wizard has so many avenues for career advancement. From kennel technician to trainer; trainer to building lifelong skills in the dog training industry with seminars and continuing education. Head trainers become Business Managers and have a clear path to businesses ownership! 
No matter what level or position you are in the support of the community within the company is focused on supporting your success. 

Cincinnati Dog Wizard is hands down the best place I've ever worked. Very family like atmosphere and everyone is willing to help each other out. I always felt heard when I had concerns with management and never blown off. It's great working with like minded people, that love dogs as much as I do. I'd still be there had we not moved so far away. I miss everyone!

Don’t waste your time with this company. They will not progress you in your dog training skills, they can’t explain clearly their own training system to new trainers, poor management, money is their only goal. Go here if you are desperate, look for a real training company where you can grow financially and with your training skills and for the love of god do not purchase a franchise with these people. 

I've been with the company for 3 years and plan to stay for as long as possible. Each day is different and sometimes unpredictable, but there is so much to learn and plenty of opportunities. We're a tight-knit group and everyone is very supportive. 

Run the other way. These “trainers” only rely on shock collars to get dogs to “obey” them. I saw trainers leaving dogs in crates for over 4 hours at a time. trainers only cared about making money and results.
