Wildcard Canine

Wildcard Canine offers three main training services: Group Classes, Private Lessons, and Board and Train programs. Group classes provide socialization, practice around distractions, and trainer supervision, with a variety of courses from preschool to sport dog. Private lessons offer flexible scheduling and are suited for behavioral issues or specific goals, with one-on-one trainer assistance to create a training plan. Board and Train “bootcamp” programs handle foundational work, puppy setup, adult dog training, off-leash reliability, and behavioral modification.

Pricing Summary

Pet boarding is priced at $20.00 per day for one pet, with an additional day charged after 12:00 PM. For multiple pets sharing a kennel, the price is $10.00 per additional dog per day. The business reserves the right to separate dogs sharing a kennel at the owner’s expense if discomfort or safety issues arise.

Wildcard Canine is a dog training business located in Crossville, TN, offering a variety of affordable training options and safe boarding services. Their mission is to create bonded teams, help dogs reach their full potential, and promote working and sport dogs. They believe in teaching owners how to properly use all four quadrants of training, endorsing the use of training tools to help handlers effectively communicate with their dogs, and setting dogs up for success by rewarding desired behaviors.
