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.

Ashley and the entire staff was phenomenon. My cane corso has matured so much. Ashley kept us updated every 3 to 4 days about his training. I would recommend Taming The Wild to anyone who needs training for their pet. Thanks Ashley!!!

Our 7 month old lab went to the 3 week course with Ashley! To say she is AMAZING is an understatement!! He clearly loved her and wanted to please her! She has a lab herself so she was on to his tricks right away! She was so kind and loving to Gus! We got regular updates on his progress and lots of pictures and videos! She would text us updates often! If we had any questions she always replied with even more thorough information that was so helpful! When it was getting close to his pick up we asked her all kinds of questions from an off the floor bed recommendations to durable treats for an aggressive chewer!! She sent us everything so quickly! But the real thing that was the greatest was the day we picked him up and then the days after we brought him home! She spent private time showing us how he was trained the words to use and what they stood for and how to walk him and what to do if he doesn’t follow commands! It was a lot for me but she was so patient and explained everything as often as I needed it! Then she brought Gus in and showed us what all he had learned! It was UNBELIEVABLE! He was our sweet boy but with manners! Then she let me go through the process and Gus was GREAT! I needed a little correction! 😳It was a great and exciting to experience!! He was a bit of a wild man to say the least when he arrived and came home a 7 month old gentleman! He has been so good at home! When he does something he knows is a NO just to test us and is told the “word” that applies he stops. Ashley deserves all the credit for giving us our sweet puppy the training he needs to be happy and proud of himself! And after he came home she has contacted us several times to check on him! She is a very talented trainer and loves her pups!! You won’t regret using Ashley and going to Taming the Wild! Great training and great customer service!! We love you Ashley!! 💙🐾

There was a litter of puppies found under a building December ‘25 needing homes. We were fortunate enough to get one. He grew fast weighing 75 lbs in a few months. We named him Gus. He is now a family member!! Gus liked to bite and was difficult on a leash. He definitely has a mind of his own with his size making it difficult for us. We took Gus to Tame the Wild meeting with Ashley. Gus was enrolled in her three week course. Ashley was very caring working with Gus. Ashley had a class with our family before Gus was returned to us. It was a one-two hour session teaching us commands and how to work with him ourselves. We returned in three weeks and could not believe the difference in his behavior. Our family members cannot thank Ashley enough and sing her praises. We vouch highly for training by Tame the Wild and particularly Ashley!! Absolutely fantastic!! Tame the Wild offers additional remedial courses each Saturday as well. Many thanks - Ashley is Best of the Best!

We brought Dale to Taming the Wild after he had a behavior incident at home. We have been working with him for a few years, but we knew he needed something with a little more structure. We met with McKenzie for a meet and evaluation and signed him up for a three week board and train. She kept us informed the whole time and we were able to visit him as well. Dale learned so much and we are grateful for their program!
