What people have asked about this business.

Do you train dogs do become service dogs?

No they don't, they train obedience with vibrating/shock collars. Pack boarding, no training of employees, you can judge for yourself.

Ashely and TTW crew were fantastic with our pup, Echo. He attended the initial two week course, took a break, and then followed up a couple weeks later with the 10 day remote collar course. The gains and difference after the 2 combined courses is amazing, especially the difference after the 1st course vs. the 2nd course. He follows commands easily, responds and takes direction, but he still remains his playful self. If you're on the fence about the program(s), don't be. It is WELL worth the time and cost involved for you and your dog! Great job!!

Wow! We are blown away with all Opie (7 month old, Black Lab) learned over his two week basic train and board. He is the same sweet puppy, just a better behaved version! We initially had low expectations for the experience - he is now better trained on his leash, has a great understanding of his "place" command, and quickly responds to "No!" - and we feel better prepared to continue his training. We are so grateful to Emily, who kept us up to date on his progress, health & well being! When we picked him up from the exit class we noted their relationship was focused on training, but that she clearly cared for him and let his personality shine too! Thank you so much, Taming the Wild! We are so grateful!

My girlfriend’s dog, Lexus, was recently enrolled in the Basic Program with Remote Collar Enhancement at Taking The Wild, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Emily, our trainer, did a fantastic job teaching Lexus all of her new skills. Her patience, expertise, and dedication were evident in every session. It’s incredible to see how much Lexus has learned and how well she responds now—thank you, Emily, for your outstanding work! We also want to recognize Sydney, the General Manager, whose professionalism stood out throughout the process. She was always punctual, kind, respectful, and responsible, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Additionally, we want to express our gratitude to the Kennel Staff, especially Stephanie, for taking such great care of Lexus. She came home in excellent shape, happy and well cared for, which speaks volumes about the level of attention and care they provide. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your dog’s training and development, Taking The Wild is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

We just had our Chocolate Lab, Bailey, complete the 2 week training/boarding program with Ashley at Taming the Wild and are extremely satisfied! What a great group of excellent and passionate employees here! This program I highly recommend and definitely go see for yourself! I'm excited that they offer free training on Saturdays to help continue the training after completing this program. Ashley was excellent with Bailey. She provided photos and videos during the training of our Bailey. She even went the extra mile to have a play date with one of her dogs! So sweet. Bailey learned so much from Ashley! I was so impressed. Bailey was always happy when I went to visit and happy to go back when it was time for me to leave. That speaks volumes! And the turnover meeting was very helpful as she explained all the resources that are available for us to continue our training! Ashley and staff were like family! Great Job Ashley and team!! And great job Bailey!!!

Teddy, my 8 month old German shepherd pup, has improved his behavior 100% since training with Ashley for two week basic board and train. I needed a break feom him and some outside help and that is what i got. I am very pleased.
