Board and Trains
We do things very differently at Wild Child. We don’t rush your dog’s progress. We limit how many families we help at any given time so your dog gets lots of attention, play, exercise, and training time. In fact, play and learning to relax are a big part of what we teach dogs to do!
How to decide which program is best for your family:
The biggest difference between the programs is how much time your dog spends 1-on-1 with us, and how much long term support you get from us to help you maintain your dog’s training.
The longer your dog is with us, the farther along they are when they come home and we start training you. And the more long term support you have from us, the more peace of mind you have in case anything ever comes up in the future or you need some polishing up.
Choose the program based on what you prefer or set up a consult with us, so we can speak in detail. Giving you training advice and tips to start right away at home.
Stay & Train

Structured boarding for your canine friend.
Where we mix education in with play.
During your dog’s stay with us we will teach manners, reinforce good behaviors, and will work on proper social skills.
Why Stay and Train over regular boarding?
Our Stay and Train program is for those who want a little more one on one care for their pup.

Puppy Jumpstart
Just get a new puppy?
Or is your puppy hitting the adolescent stage and getting into everything, leaving a trail of puppy teeth marks and potty stains behind?
Or maybe crate training is not your strong suit.
Puppies are supposed to be fun, not stress!
Our Puppy Jumpstart program will help you find the fun in owning a puppy again.
All of our programs focus on your dog’s needs and teaching you, the owner, how to connect with your dog. Creating a lasting bond that doesn’t rely on bribery or corrections. So many puppies and adult dogs alike, are taught obedience commands from the get go, but are never taught how to handle their emotions. Creating chaos, reactivity, and fear as our puppies mature and experience life. It is beyond important to us to teach puppies how to grow through their emotions and guide them so they learn to be flexible, even in challenging environments.
With that in mind, we curtail our programs around your puppies’ learning ability and your goals. This allows us to find a common ground between owner and puppy that is filled with love and trust. Teaching owners about their dog and how to speak their language. Creating a lasting relationship where your puppy wants to work with you.
