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.

Our 2 dogs spent 3 weeks boarding and training with the team at Timing the Wild, and particularly a lot of time with Emily. She was so communicative, kind and patient both with our dogs and us. We presented them with a particularly challenging set as we had just adopted a foster right before the training, so the 2 boys didn't have a lot of interactions together prior to their stay. We got videos and updates regularly and loved that we were able to visit mid way through to see them and how they were doing. Since graduating, they both seem to have great grasps of the new commands and seem less anxious and more confident in their environment.

Taming the Wild is SUCH an amazing place to bring your dogs for training, boarding, and exposure to other environments! I brought my 4.5 month old puppy here, and they were outstanding with her. My personal trainer was Emily, and she was nothing short of PERFECT! Emily worked with me all 2 weeks of my puppy’s training, and was great at communicating and updating me throughout the process! All the trainers are amazing with the dogs, and I will definitely be sending all my dogs here from now on! Taming the Wild is a great facility for training your pup to be the best they can be!! 10/10, will recommend to ANY AND EVERYONE!!

We dropped off our cane corso ruby at taming the wild for reactive training. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with every step. We were having her trained for her reactivity to other people. Ashley the trainer was fantastic. Kept us up to date with everything about ruby and sent us pictures and videos during her 3 week course. Once we picked her up it was incredible how responsive and tamed she is now. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to have their dog professionally trained and or boarded

We are so thankful for taming the wild. Our dog Maggie did the basic and level up course. We did the basic as a puppy and when we wanted to have a little more freedom with her we decided to do the next level of training. We have an energetic family with 4 kids under 10 so Maggie was feeding off all of the family energy and was difficult to manage at times. After training at TTW we can count that we can put her on her place or ask her to go to place when the house is hectic and Maggie does great. We also love now that she is trained off leash we have the freedom to let her run, get energy out and she comes back (happily) when called. The off leash training has allowed us to train her to not jump. And now she sits and gets all the pets and love she wants. Before it felt stressful at times with a busy house and a dog but after Maggie’s training she is such a joy to our family. I would highly recommend TTW if you are wanting a little more control of your dog which ultimately has led to more happiness for Maggie and our family.

Ashley was so great with our 6 month old doodle. We have young kids who like to unintentionally teach our pup to do exactly what he shouldn’t be doing, so the board and train program was a huge help in getting him focused and trained in a less chaotic environment. Definitely recommend!!!
