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.

Emily is the absolute best! Thor, our 7 month old pitbull, went through the 3 week training program and came back a different pup! He’s still a ball full of energy, but listens to commands and goes to “place” when we tell him to. We couldn’t be more happy with his training and will continue to use Taming the Wild for all of our boarding and training needs!

Emily worked wonders on our beagle, Beau! Prior to training, he was easily distracted and never obedient around other people/dogs. After just 2 weeks with Emily, he is a brand new dog! He is so calm, well behaved, and listens even with the biggest of distractions. Our friends and family have given us so many compliments since we’ve brought him home over how well he listens. He no longer jumps on people, he “places” when guests come over and remains in his place as we socialize, he waits in door frames instead of darting through, and most importantly he walks appropriately on a leash! We are so thankful to be able to take him on walks to the park knowing he will obey every command. We highly recommend the 2 week program with Emily…she is the BEST!

Nula, a Welsh Terrier was our second pup to go through the 3 week boarding program. She is a very happy but determined terrier . She trained with Emily and we couldn't be happier with her learning progress. Emily kept us updated and sent videos throughout the process. My husband and I and Nula are still learning together but are so grateful for the training by Emily and her care while boarding.

Emily and the team at TTW are absolutely amazing! Our rescue dog has been through all levels of the board and train offered, with wonderful success. The facility is top notch and the trainers are exceptional. Would highly recommend!

Look no further.. Taming the Wild is truly amazing for boarding! After I had a very difficult time finding a place that would take my fear driven American bulldog who is dog reactive and somewhat human reactive, I almost gave up on boarding my dog. Then I came across Taming the Wild. Sydney, the manager assured me when I dropped my boy off that they could handle him and gave me a tour of the facility. I immediately felt a sense of relief. The staff goes above and beyond to assure your dog is in great care and give updates on progress. I’m so happy that I found this place for my big boy! Thanks again for everything.
