Buck Wild Dog Training is a veteran and family-owned dog training facility located in Baldwin, Maryland, founded by Victoria Erbe and her trained service dog, Buck. They offer personalized one-on-one training sessions, intensive board and train retreats, and online courses to help dog owners build trust and obedience with their pets. Their training methods are relationship- and play-based, focusing on real-life scenarios like city walks to improve leash manners, distraction control, and behavioral correction. They also provide full-service pet boarding with enrichment activities, including structured playtime and private rest spaces, and sell balanced, raw diets through K-9 Kravings. Their unique advantage lies in Victoria’s 6+ years of professional training experience—both domestically and internationally—and Buck’s own transformation from an unruly shelter dog to a well-behaved service dog, which exemplifies their philosophy of trust-based communication. They specialize in helping reactive, aggressive, fearful, and over-aroused dogs, and emphasize that successful training requires owner commitment and consistency.

Their services are designed for all life stages, from puppies to senior dogs, and they serve clients across the Baltimore metropolitan area with a strong focus on behavior modification and long-term relationship building between dogs and their families.

Accomplishments

Victoria Erbe has over 6 years of professional dog training experience both domestically and internationally. Buck, her service dog, was transformed from an unruly shelter dog into a well-behaved service dog, serving as a living testament to their training philosophy. Multiple clients have credited her with successfully rehabilitating aggressive, reactive, and fearful dogs, including German Shepherds, hounds, and rescue mixes.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients can book a service directly through the website or contact Victoria to discuss their dog’s needs. For board and train programs, an initial consultation is offered to observe the dog and determine the appropriate program. Clients are then guided through payment and scheduling.
