Summary
When training feels confusing, start here...
This program exists because most dog owners aren’t failing. They’re just overwhelmed by advice that assumes dogs are robots.
The Basic Training Challenge is a self-guided, virtual program done at your pace in your home environment that will enable you to connect with your dog in a whole new way.
In this program, we're committed to teaching you how to understand your dog’s innate behaviors so that you know WHY your dog acts in a certain way and HOW to effectively respond to your dog's actions with training techniques that simply work.
There is a TON of training available on the internet...
Tons of videos on how to make your dog sit, stay, heel etc...
Tons of videos on how to do XYZ...
But NONE of them explain, IN-DEPTH, the logic/reason/instinctual motivations for behavior and how you can manipulate it like they so at Taming the Wild.
~ Grant Farell
What This Actually Helps With:
- How to get your dog to reliably follow these commands: heel, sit, down, stay, place, come, and off.
- WHY your dog is acting the way he is and WHAT to do about it...in simple terms.
- How to use lots of love, praise, and treats along with corrections when necessary.
- How simple equipment and tools will help you obtain consistent results.
What You Get:
- Step-by-step videos anyone can follow. Over 40 videos to choose from-- focus on the areas your dog needs support!
- A private Facebook community-- you will be able to ask questions, and get support and guidance along the way.
- Lifetime access to the program-- return to these resources time and time again.
“Everyone and anyone that is interested in getting the dog they deserve needs to sign up with The Academy."

I have loved the Taming the Wild instructions and videos. I recently got a border collie puppy. I am retired and wanted her as a companion dog. We went through the 14-Day Challenge, and it was great. It helped me understand more about how dogs think, and I loved the challenge. Thank you for your help.
I recommend this training to anyone interested in making your next dog an obedient, loving and fun part of your family. Thank you everyone at Taming the Wild.

Before I took the 14-Day Challenge, I felt defeated, hopeless, and overwhelmed with my beautiful 7-month-old GSD x Malinois puppy. He got kicked out of doggie daycare; he was nipping, jumping, and out of control. Taking him on walks was a disaster, pulling, jumping... I spent over $700 on private lessons, even a behaviorist! None of it helped, and some made it worse.
I was at my wit's end. I had failed my dog, myself, and my family.
Taking the 14-Day Challenge has given me a better, more enjoyable, and fun life with Arpi. Taming the Wild has given me a second chance with my dog.
~ Teri Karsen
I have two Aussies and had difficulty with leash aggression. Bad behavior on walks made me feel tense and fearful of getting bitten when my dog was out of control. I have worked with two local trainers and have bought several videos; this is the first time I have made significant progress. The lessons were methodical and showed me small tasks that have helped me a lot. I am beyond grateful that I purchased this 14-Day Challenge.

Just Imagine...
Your dog who stays until your company is seated….no more jumping up.
A dog who walks comfortably on a leash...without pulling your arm out of its socket.
A dog who, when you give a command, listens every time.
A dog who is the ultimate family companion.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS? WE GOT YOU!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the methodology behind the training? Is it all positive? What about treat based?
We are balanced trainers meaning we use lots of love, praise and treats along with corrections when necessary. The combination of these approaches produces a well-trained dog (especially for spirited dogs!) Additionally, if you have a dog who isn’t motivated by treats, don't worry, you can do this challenge with simple equipment you probably already own.
Will the program work for all sizes and breeds of dogs?
Absolutely!
Is this program for puppies or housebreaking?
The Basic Training Program is designed for dogs over 16 weeks. If you have a puppy or a dog who needs housebreaking support, we’d recommend that you begin with our Start Right! End Right! Puppy Program.
Will this work for a stubborn, older dog?
Yes!
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 14 day money back guarantee. Assuming you haven’t downloaded the ebooks and other resources, we will refund your money no questions asked. That being said, if you have downloaded the materials, you are no longer eligible for a refund. We put a lot of time into these resources and this is only fair!
What equipment is needed?
The basics! A simple nylon slip collar, 4 foot leather leash, and tasty treats your dog loves.
