Group Dog Training classes

Beyond retreats, we offer many group dog training classes. They’re the most cost-effective way to get time with our expert team. We keep class sizes small, so you’ll still get lots of attention from our trainers. All classes are held at our Wilde Acres campus unless otherwise noted.

All classes require advanced registration. To sign up, email our office (office@wildeacresmd.com) or give us a call (410-833-2300).

for puppies under 21 weeks

Group puppy classes

Tuesdays, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.

3 classes for $120 or $50 each

When you attend a group puppy class, you’ll get to train in a small group environment with our founder, Carter Wilde, and seasoned trainer, Alexis Taylor. Attend as many (or as few) classes as you’d like. Class size is limited to 5 dogs, so sign up to snag a spot on your preferred date before it fills up.

Tuesdays, 5:30-6:30 p.m., April 29th – June 3rd

By the end of this six-week course, your dog will know how to walk nicely on a leash, how to sit and lay down on command, and how to go to its bed. Class size is small (capped at just 5 dogs), so you’ll still get lots of attention from our trainers.
Group Obedience Classes
Group E-Collar Classes at Wilde Acres

dogs over 6 months

group e-collar class

Tuesdays, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., March 4th – April 8th

9 classes for $500 (includes 6 Group Classes & 3 Handler Classes)*

This class focuses on off-leash recall. If you’d like your dog to consistently return to you when you call them, this is the class for you! Whether your dog chases seagulls at the beach, runs too far ahead on hiking trails, or doesn’t listen in an urban setting, the Group E-Collar Class will teach you all you need to know for flawless recall. To ensure all participants are starting from the same place, only past clients who have attended a training retreat, private lessons, or obedience group lessons are eligible to participate.

*A remote collar is not included in the class price.

for everyone

dog talks

 
Each dog talk is $100
 
These classes are a way to get training fundamentals without the distractions your pet often provides. At each Dog Talk, our founder, Carter Wilde, will meet you at the Wilde Acres classroom to dive deep into concepts that will help you better communicate with your dog. Afterward, stick around for drinks, snacks, and a chance to connect with fellow dog enthusiasts.

for wilde acres graduates

handler classes

Free

We offer free handler classes for graduates of most Wilde Acres training programs. These classes are designed to help you handle your dog the way the Wilde Acres staff did when they were in our care, resulting in a better-behaved pup long-term. Each month, we offer multiple handler classes at the Wilde Acres campus and one off-site class that changes locales each time. We limit the number of attendees, so be sure to reserve your spot for the date that works best for you.

Highly Recommend

My family had a wonderful experience with Wilde Acres and would highly recommend this training facility to our friends and family.

Making Visible progress!

The people working here are fantastic - kind, cordial, very friendly and obviously know what they’re doing. Two weeks into the program, my puppy loves the place and the people, and she is making visible progress in training!

Thank you WA team!

“From the exceptional staff to the top-notch facilities, the results have exceeded our expectations. Not only has Penny benefited from the training, but she also receives grooming services there, which we can confidently say is the best she's ever had! Thank you to the WA team!”
