Questions & answers

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 8 month old 85 lb black lab puppy, Bear, attended the 2 week board and train and we are so happy with the end results!! He’s always been a sweet dog, but he was so big and strong that he was hard to handle. Ashley was his trainer and she was absolutely amazing!! She stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process and sent us regular updates on how Bear was doing. Honestly, I’m amazed at what she was able to accomplish in just 2 short weeks. I would highly recommend Taming the Wild, specifically trainer Ashley, to anyone who needs their dog trained.

When we decided to send Tucker to Taming the Wild, he needed help with minor impulse control and responsiveness to commands. Tucker’s high energy made it challenging for us to manage his behavior. After his training with Emily, he came home a changed dog. While he’s still energetic, we’ve learned how to help him channel that energy in a positive way. His behavior and impulse control have improved significantly. He now responds well to commands and direction. Emily did an outstanding job with Tucker, and we highly recommend her to anyone considering obedience training. If you're on the fence, take the leap—Taming the Wild made a world of difference for us. Thank you Taming the Wild!

Our puppy just completed a custom board and train program with Ashley and so far it has given us great results! We had frequent updates and a thorough turnover lesson! Can’t wait to start the refresher classes with my children so they can learn how to properly use commands with our pup! Thanks again to their professionalism and great work!!

We had a great experience with Ashley and everyone at Taming the Wild. My rescue dog is very anxious and was reactive around other dogs. They went above to make sure we were both comfortable during her two week stay and sent daily updates/videos. Their training is extremely helpful and has reduced a lot of stress for me and my dog. Ashley has even reached out weeks after training for updates and to offer advice. Highly recommend Taming the Wild!

I took my 8month old Labrador here in May of 2025 for the 2 week board & training program. The results were amazing. Ashley was awesome to work with and I trusted her the whole time. She kept me updated throughout the 2 week training process with texts, pictures, and videos! She did a really good job at explaining the process and commands to me. He came home like a complete different puppy (for the better!) I could not be happier and would highly recommend Taming the Wild to anyone!
