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.

My dog, a highly sensitive and nervous grump, stayed here for a couple days. It was one of the first times I didn't see him to to eat anyone. The staff were caring, gave him cuddles, and even provide a little summary of his stay when you pick up your pup. Also, lots of add ons you can choose from so that your furry friend has the best time. I chose this place over others due to the education and training the staff have. I was impressed and we will be back.

They were so patient with my pups and so kind I was really impressed. The little report cards with their pictures and the cookies they give when they come home our top tier for me one of my dogs is very much a mama's boy he's kind of been through a lot and they were so patient with him and they were so excited for me to make another appointment to come back definitely will be using them again

My first time leaving my 7 year old dog at Doggie Day Care and he loved it. He was so calm and I was so surprised. The staff really made both of us feel comfortable. They will be seeing a lot of us in the future.

We had a great experience with Taming the Wild. We brought our 16 week old little rambunctious golden in dire need of a little life direction to Ashley at TTW. After two weeks we brought back a much reformed young man (err golden). It really does seem as if he has matured by 6 months and not just two weeks. I know that’s the fruit of the training of Ashley and TTW. Ashley was great about texting us with photos and videos of our pup’s progress. She then did a great job handing over the reins or collar/leash. It is a taking us some time to get down the commands at home but we are getting there. And since we brought our pup back she has been very response to our post training questions. Grateful to Ashley and the TTW staff.

Brian made my baby have worse PTSD than she already had. I adopted her and she was a bait dog in her past, super abused, BB pellets and burn scars from cigars on her, she had severe PTSD. He uses fear tactics to train dogs. My baby came back NOT herself whatsoever. She was terrified, seemed worse than when I adopted her, and shakes when we used the shock collar he gave us. I was told she’d have a nice size kennel but it was small and he didn’t allow her to have her bed, her food we made her, no toys or anything we sent.
