The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training (formerly Taming the Wild)

Could not recommend Bryan and his team enough! We sent our 7-year-old Australian Shepherd through the Reactive Dog Program, and Bryan’s knowledge, patience, and clear training methods have made such a difference. He didn’t just train our dog; he trained us as well, giving us the tools for a successful future with our boy. Wally is now calmer, more confident, and we finally feel hopeful about moving forward and giving him the best quality of life. The daily training videos and photos were such a wonderful bonus, letting us see his progress every step of the way.

Took out GSD to be trained for one of rhe 2 weeks course. The daily text messages to show progress was amazing and kept you up to date with the training and offered you time for any questions. On the turnover at the end of the training was awesome. Gave you plenty of time to learn how to work with your dog and you never felt rushed at all. And the after training they are available for questions. I can only give them a 5 or they would get a higher rating

Our two year old adopted Goldens recently completed the Basic Board and Train Program at the Academy. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The facility is clean, organized, and intentionally designed for success. The adjacent park and athletic fields are a bonus for real-life training. From the first phone call with Kira, it was clear that Bryan and his team offered a high level of expertise and genuine care. Bryan's knowledge and experience are unparalleled. The team took time to understand George and Winnie's unique personalities and our specific needs with two dogs. Bryan and Nick did a significant amount of tandem training to help address the challenges we were having with two. The daily video and photo updates encouraged us as we observed George and Winnie's progress. The valuable and thorough turnover lesson gave us the tools and confidence to continue the training at home. George and Winnie's transition home has been excellent. They are more confident, focused, and responsive to commands. Walking them together is now a joy. Bryan continues to offer support by checking on George and Winnie, answering questions, and providing free refresher classes for life. We are incredibly grateful to Bryan, Nick, and the staff and could not be more pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend this team to any dog owner looking for a superior training experience.

I can’t say enough good things about The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training! They did an amazing job with my dog, and I could see the progress every day. The daily updates were such a nice touch, it felt like I was part of the process even while he was away. What I really appreciated was that they didn’t just train my dog; they also gave me the tools and lessons I needed so we could keep up the training at home. The staff works together like a true team, and it shows in how much they care. My dog came home happier, more confident, and so well-behaved. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for real results and a supportive, professional team.
