✨WizCon 2025: A Celebration of Growth, Connection & Impact✨
We just wrapped up an incredible few days in Tampa for our annual owner's conference, and we’re still feeling the energy! From powerful keynotes to hands-on workshops, this year’s conference was all about growth, connection, and leveling up as business owners.
💡 We reset our culture.
📈 We embraced new tech & AI.
🎭 We celebrated at our Masquerade Gala & Annual Awards.
🐾 And most importantly, we gave back.
The biggest highlight? Together, we raised over $2,500 for Suncoast Animal League—a no-kill rescue that’s changing lives through adoption, therapy dog programs, and critical medical care. ❤️
This event reminded us why we do what we do. The Dog Wizard is more than just a brand—it’s a family dedicated to making a difference. 🚀
📸 Swipe through for some of our favorite moments!
If you’re ready to be part of something bigger—whether as a business owner, team member, or trainer—let’s make 2025 our best year yet!

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.
John is an IACP Professional member, certified with the AKC for Canine Good Citizen. He is an AKC Judge, and the Chattanooga AKC Fit Dogs Club owner. He’s certified to perform evaluations through Therapy Pets Unlimited, and Canine First Aid and CPR.
