Dog research backed taming the wild

Research has shown the need for caution when drawing conclusions about the behavioral differences between dogs and wolves. At The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training, we let these scientific discoveries shape our approach, allowing us to communicate with your dog in ways they quickly grasp and accept. Our training methods not only help you reach your goals but also preserve the innate spirit and vitality that lives in every dog.

How can you trust we know what’s best for your dog? At The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training, our outstanding results speak for themselves—they are our strongest qualifications.

Taming the wild testimonial

TACBT was recommended to me for our 1-year-old border collie mix, Champ, and I trusted the recommendation. He made dog #6 for us, and the other dogs were 5-8 years older than him. We also have grandchildren and needed Champ to understand basic commands for indoors as well as for our daily walks for exercise. From start to finish, every aspect of our experience was very professional. Bryan and the staff excel in identifying what will work best for training the individual animals as well as how to train the owners for success while making it interesting and fun. Thanks to the success with Champ's training, we have enrolled him in an agility course that is also offered by TACBT. We will be forever grateful for our "new and well behaved" pup!
