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.

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. Bryan has given me a second chance with my dog.

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 Bryan Bailey does.
~ 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.
- When to reward, when to correct, and how to do both clearly and fairly.
- What tools to use (and what you don’t need).
“Everyone and anyone that is interested in getting the dog they deserve needs to sign up with The Academy."

Founded in Memphis, TN, as Taming the Wild. Now operating in Tupelo, MS, as The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training.
We train dogs in person every day. Our virtual programs are a digital extension of that real-world experience and are designed for families who cannot make the trip to see us in person.
Same trainer, same philosophy, same standards.
WHY THIS WORKS...
This training system has been refined over 40+ years of working with real dogs and real families.
At The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training, we believe dogs thrive on clarity.
Our training is built on proven learning principles and real-world experience. We teach dogs what to do first through clear instruction and reinforcement. Once a behavior is understood, we hold dogs accountable in fair, consistent ways. This creates reliability without confusion.
We don't chase trends. We teach what works. We do not rely on gimmicks, dominance myths, or endless treat dependency. We focus on communication, structure, and follow-through.
This program is designed for practical obedience in real homes. It builds engagement, teaches foundational skills, and helps you develop calm, confident leadership your dog understands.
The result is not just better behavior. It is a clearer relationship between you and your dog.
Built in the real world.
Structured into a clear 14-day roadmap.
Supported by an experienced Master Trainer.
I have loved the 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 TACBT.

Frequently Asked Questions
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? WE GOT YOU!
Why should I pay for this instead of just watching free videos online?
Free videos can show you what to do.
They rarely explain why it works or how it fits into a complete training progression.
Scroll YouTube for five minutes and you’ll hear completely different philosophies, tools, and timing strategies.
This program doesn’t just give you commands to practice. It teaches you why dogs behave the way they do, how they learn, and why we apply timing, praise, and correction the way we do.
When you understand the “why,” you stop guessing.
You stop bouncing between advice. And you start training with clarity and confidence.
Free content gives you tips. This gives you understanding and a structured plan.
What training methodology do you use? Is it all positive?
We use a balanced approach. That means plenty of love, praise, and rewards, along with fair, well-timed corrections when needed.
Dogs learn best when expectations are clear and consistent. This system gives them both.
Is this program for puppies or housebreaking?
This program is designed for dogs over 16 weeks old.
If you have a younger puppy or need housebreaking support, start with our Start Right! End Right! Puppy Program.
Will the program work for all sizes and breeds of dogs?
Yes. The principles of timing, structure, and clarity apply to all breeds and sizes.
Do I have to finish everything in 14 days?
No.
The 14-day structure gives you a clear roadmap so you know what to focus on first, next, and why. Some owners move quickly and complete the core plan in two weeks. Others take longer. Both are completely fine.
You have lifetime access so you can move at your dog’s pace, revisit lessons anytime, and repeat the program as needed.
This is a roadmap, not a deadline.
Will this work for a stubborn, older dog?
Yes!
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.
If you haven’t downloaded the digital resources, you’re eligible for a full refund within 14 days.
We stand behind the program.
What equipment is needed?
The basics! A simple nylon slip collar, 4 foot leather leash, and tasty treats your dog loves.
Why did the name change from Taming the Wild to The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training?
We built Taming the Wild into one of the most recognized training programs in our region. After years of growth, the business was acquired.
We then opened The Academy for Canine Behavior and Training in Tupelo, where we continue refining and teaching the same proven methodology.
Same trainer. Same philosophy. Expanded vision.
