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 wife and I would recommend Taming the Wild to everyone! Our dog, Scout, went through the two-week board-and-train program and came back a completely different dog. Before training, Scout constantly pulled on walks and jumped on everyone she met. Afterward, she was a completely different dog. The transformation was beyond what we expected, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We worked with Ashley and she was so easy to work with. We were both sad about leaving our dog for two weeks but the constant texts and pictures of Scout put our minds at ease. So thank you to everyone at Taming the Wild!

We worked with Ashley at Taming the Wild and had a wonderful experience. We boarded and trained our dog at Taming the Wild. Ashley did a great job working with her, gave us consistent update and a thorough breakdown of next steps at the end. I highly recommend working with Taming the Wild or boarding your dog there.

Jano loves the staff at taming the wild and they love him! Very friendly and very knowledgeable. Their boarding is great for a great price with additional add ons and their classes have been perfect for our high energy hound. Would totally recommend!

Ashley and Taming the Wild were absolutely amazing. Our sweet and VERY energetic puppy Asher needed some help to work on commands and help him transition into our family. They answered all of our questions before we even signed Asher up for a board and train. They were knowledgeable and kind. Ashely was fabulous. Not only did she send us updates, videos, pictures, but she also helped me schedule a visit with our sweet pup while he was there. Asher came home with great skills and a way to understand boundaries. He also came home well loved. The handoff meeting was so helpful. Our whole family was able to attend and everything was explained in detail so that everyone was on the same page. From drop off to pick up the staff was amazing. We are so grateful for the time and love that they poured into Asher.

Ashley has transformed my lovely, but overly bouncy, 2 year old Labrador. He listens, walks to heel off lead and ignores other dogs and cyclists in a way he was never previously capable of! When released he's as bouncy as ever - but he now understands he must wait to be released, rather than just careering around all over the place. He's a pleasure to walk now rather than an accident waiting to happen!
