“We love Aunt Ri's! There is no one else we trust with our three German Shepherds while we are away. They always receive great care, and I never worry about them during their stays. The proof is evident when we see how excited they all are every time they arrive. These dogs are our children, and it is so comforting to know they are in great hands. Drop offs and pick ups are quick and easy. Prices are reasonable. But the most important thing to us is the care our dogs receive while they are there. Our dogs don't like anyone, and they love going to Aunt Ri's. So that speaks volumes!“

I was EXTREMELY cautious about who I wanted to train my dog Bandit (German Shepherd) who is 2 years old. We were told by our Veterinarian that Bandit has severe anxiety, fear and can be aggressive. I knew I would rather not work with a negative reinforcement training company. The training at Medina Dog Wizard is not negative at all in my experience. Steve and Aurelia began with them teaching Bandit boundaries that we could utilize at home. They also send guides to read to assist you at home after the training. Medina Dog Wizard also establishes rules and commands to help establish a good relationship with your dog.
I was able, with the trainer's help, to figure out what works best for handling Bandit. I tried another dog trainer in the county, paying a lot of money. That company told me to get a harness, but my dog pulled severely, and my wife had very little control of him on our walks.
We dropped off Bandit for two weeks at Medina Dog Wizard, they worked with him. Through working with Steve, the owner and trainer, we've learned that he reacts *extremely well* to wearing a prong collar, and slip leash and makes things much safer for the dog, my family and me. We also established commands for Bandit like lay down, place, heel, free, and kennel.
They help you figure out what works best for your dog and you! That being said, I can't say enough outstanding things about Steve and Aurella at the Medina Dog Wizard. From talking to them on the phone and at the consultation, I immediately felt like they understood why Bandit was behaving the way he was. Even when training is complete, you go to Saturday's walks. During the walk, you have interactions with other dogs and have mini training where the trainer’s assists you.
Medina Dog Wizard goes above and beyond just the lessons. I have reached out to Medina Dog Wizard when Bandit was anxious when I was going to the store or putting him in his cage at night. Steve had some great tips that made it easier for us to handle these situations with my dog. They also offer boarding for the day if you go on vacation. I am so appreciative and thankful that I found Medina Dog Wizard. This is the best investment I have made in my dog (Bandit's) training.“
“My sweet Golden Retriever Sammie always gets the best care. I always am confident that I can count on Dr. Fitzpatrick to do what is best for her!“
