Living with a dog who barks, lunges, growls, bites, or struggles to cope with everyday life can be exhausting. Many owners feel overwhelmed, embarrassed, or even isolated because their dog’s behavior has taken over their daily routine.
At Wild Child Dog Training, we specialize in helping dogs that need more than basic obedience. Whether your dog struggles with reactivity, fear, aggression, anxiety, resource guarding, or impulse control, our dog behavior modification program is designed to address the root causes of the behavior…not just the symptoms.
Our goal isn’t simply to stop unwanted behaviors. It’s to create a calmer, more confident dog while teaching owners the skills needed to maintain lasting results.
Behavior problems don’t happen because a dog is “bad” or “stubborn.” Every behavior serves a purpose, and understanding the why it occurs is the first step toward meaningful change.
We regularly work with dogs experiencing:
No two dogs are the same, which is why every behavior modification plan is tailored to the individual dog, their history, and your goals.

Correction to my original review Sydney teaches how to guide your pup for their needs and makes sure your not reinforcing bad behaviors.Posted on Joann MaguireTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Jackson is a work in progress. To see how far he has come makes my heart smile. Sydney and her crew are amazing and totally trustworthy of caring and training your pup. They also work with training you so not reinforce good handling skills. I am truly confident in Wild Child. Best money spent and best decision I’ve madePosted on Melissa UrquhartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wild Child Dog training has worked with all 3 of my dogs and there is no where else I would send them! Sydney is fantastic with them and all 3 enjoyed their stay. They received plenty of 1 on 1 time, exercise, outings in town and lots of love and affection. I love the fact that she posts pictures and videos everyday so you can see what your pup is up to and you get to visit and receive human training to help your pup succeed. Definitely call Wild Child for all your dog training needs!Posted on RBTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided to try dog training for the first time to help our 3 year old Aussie with anxious and avoidance behaviors. In just 3 sessions with Sydney, our dog has learned so much!! During our training sessions, we have learned strategies to help him have better manners which will allow us to take him on walks and not be as stressed with visitors coming to our house. Sydney is very thorough, knowledgeable and her strategies are humane and effective. We highly recommend Wild Child Training and plan to continue with further obedience training in the future.Posted on Melissa SueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined with WCDT for puppy training with my little guy Odin. I wanted a trainer specifically that didn't soley rely on shock collar training due to the small size of my dog (as well as I knew I would not be comfortable following through with that type of training at home). From my first conversation, this decision was never met with an issue in our communications which was my reason for moving forward with training my pup with this fabulous duo. There was great communication, and lots of post regarding my Odin's progress between in person visits. My wants in training were clearly defined, discussed and implemented over his in-stay with the facility. I had some reservations with my tiny 3lb spoiled puppy with his paw lotion, eye wipes and holiday themed attire amongst giant working dogs at first; but it was shortly deemed irrelevant as he decided he was just a big dog in disguise disputing my attempts otherwise lol! I am very grateful for the leadership, knowledge and help WCDT has given myself and my pup. Taking on a new puppy was not part of my 2025, and I am very appreciative of the advice and knowledge extended with the program offered. (As well as the minor therapist sessions in listening to me talk about my dog that had recently passed; I appreciate that more than I can express.) I would 100% recommend!Posted on Phillip EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great training and a great facility!! I highly recommend them. Their processes and their caring attitude makes for an excellent outcome. Kara is the best!!Posted on Lindsay HortonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the board and train with our puppy last year, and this year, he’s still the greatest dog. He remembers most of his training - doesn’t run out the door, doesn’t jump on people, waits until we say “okay” to take his food, comes when we call him, etc. Training with Wild Child was some of the best money we ever spent! Highly recommend!Posted on Dawn FreseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at Wild Child is great and their program is amazing! Harper, my sweet, impulsive and overly energetic girl has so many new skills and is well on her way to being a well behaved pup! She has her moments (she’s still a puppy, after all!) but WildChild has given us both the tools to learn and grow! Harper and I both enthusiastically recommend Wild Child!!Posted on Ms. WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wild Child trainers helped us and our pup Gracie so much with the board and train! She was wild and would not listen to any of our commands. She returned a totally different pup who now gets along with our other dog, and listens to our commands! Highly recommend WC!Posted on Chip KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kara and Wild Child Dog Training. Our dog, Grady, who is a really big Golden Retriever puppy spent 4 weeks in their care learning manners, recall, walking on a leash calmly, being in public, etc and he seemed to love every minute. We just got him home this week and he is a different dog. The love and passion Kara clearly has for dogs were evident the moment we met her. And their consistent communication and video uploads provided our family with a transparent and fun way to watch Grady’s progress. We could not recommend Wild Child any higher and will gladly pass on our highest recommendation to anyone who asks. Thank you guys for a top notch experience.

Every behavior case begins with an in-person evaluation at our facility. During this appointment, we'll discuss your dog's history, observe their behavior, identify contributing factors, and determine the most appropriate training plan.

Based on your dog's needs and your goals, we will curate a training program that will give you the greatest chance for long-term success. This includes a hybrid style of training involving a stay, lessons, and group classes.

We coach you alongside your dog to maintain consistency, reinforce new habits, and continue progress at home. Building your confidence in handling your dog and clearing up communication challenges you may have had in the past.

Is Your Dog a Good Candidate?
Our dog behavior modification program may be a great fit if your dog:
Many dogs can make significant progress with the right training, management, and owner commitment. Every case is unique which is why we begin with an evaluation before making recommendations.
We work with dogs of all behavior levels, including those with bite histories. Safety protocols are always in place, and training is adjusted based on your dog’s comfort and stress levels. Aggression is often rooted in fear, frustration, or lack of structure, and with the right approach, it can be addressed. We focus on building trust, teaching clear communication, and giving your dog the tools to feel confident instead of reactive.
Absolutely. Lasting success depends on the relationship between you and your dog. We provide coaching so you understand how to maintain your dog's progress long after training is complete.
Behavior change isn't a one-size-fits-all process. The timeline depends on your dog's history, genetics, environment, consistency, and training goals.
You don’t have to keep planning every walk around your dog’s behavior or wondering if things will ever improve. If you’re ready for honest guidance, practical solutions, and a training program tailored to your dog’s needs, we’d love to help!
