FirstBarkTrainers and staff are top notch here. So glad we sent our pup here for 2 week program. It was incredible what they instilled in such a short time. Our dog who was notoriously difficult on the leash now heels like a champ. The facilities are also very impressive and clean.

Cam was absolutely amazing with Franklin! Everyone from setting up sessions to pick up was so professional and friendly. Meeting with Carter at 1st and his wealth of knowledge was a great start to put our mind at ease!

I can’t say enough good things about Wilde Acres and their bird dog training program. I had my dog there for 8 weeks, and the transformation has been incredible. She came home with a strong, well-built foundation for retriever training, and just as importantly, her everyday obedience is on a completely different level. Cam and the team truly stand out. Cam is extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, and clearly takes pride in his work. What I appreciated most was how thorough he was, not just in training my dog, but in keeping me informed every step of the way. Communication was top tier. I received regular updates, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind while my dog was in their care. The attention to detail, professionalism, and consistency from the entire staff made this a completely seamless experience from start to finish. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Wilde Acres is the real deal. Highly recommend!!

We took a chance on Wilde Acres based on a recommendation from our non-dog owning friends for the training of our newly adopted dog. We have been blown away with the quality, care, personalization, and efficacy of their board and train program! Our dog stayed for 3 weeks and she was treated like one of their own dogs! Her trainer, Cam, really took the time to bond with our pup and produced amazing results! We look forward to continuing to train/board with Wilde Acres in the future. Hands down will always recommend them!
Carter and his team are fantastic! Our Maggie learned how to be a proper little lady in her first 4 weeks and she loves going back for the handler classes. I've learned tons about how to be a better doggy parent.
