Pros

Working from home is optional depending on your role

Cons

The dog wizard is a franchise. Each region is managed differently so I can only speak to the chantilly, VA region which covers the dmv. The owners here bought into this business knowing NOTHING about dogs. They supposedly worked in HR for a long time but do not know how to people manage or have difficult conversations. There is no work life balance, the owners will message you all hours of the day and night and make promises to pet owners that are not always feasible and put extra unnecessary strain on their team. Bryan specifically is on a power trip and, to use his words, “if I say the sky is purple, then the sky is effing purple”. If you want to work for micromanaging, power hungry yet spineless franchise owners, then look no further.

The Dog Wizard Response
7mo
At The Dog Wizard, we truly value honesty, professionalism, and the people who make our community so special. This review doesn’t reflect the true experience or values of our team. It appears to have been shared by a former individual no longer with our organization, and their comments don’t accurately represent our culture or roles. We’re proud of the culture we’ve built. One grounded in transparency, respect, and genuine care for both our employees and our clients. Our trainers enjoy ongoing mentorship and coaching to help them grow into the best trainers they can be, meeting the needs of their clients and creating life-changing transformations for dogs and their families. We also offer competitive pay and a 401(k) match to support our team’s long-term success and well-being. We welcome anyone curious about our culture to reach out or connect with current team members to hear what it’s really like to be part of The Dog Wizard.
