About Wild Heart Dog Training

Wild Heart Dog Training is a single-trainer Chattanooga-area business built around one named system. The site says the owner works "exclusively with you and your dog" and that "here you will be taught the Natural Dog Training theory and practice with your dog".

How the work is structured

Everything is sold as a listed product with a price. A free 20-minute phone consultation comes first. One-on-one sessions are $100, with a three-pack at $270 and a five-pack at $400. Board and Train is a two-week stay at $2,150, during which the site says the dog lives with the trainer and gets daily training sessions. Walk & Train is offered at $40 for 30 minutes and $75 for an hour.

What they publish working on

The site names leash behavior as its central case – "the number one issue dogs and owners struggle with is misbehavior on the leash. Whether it be leash reactivity, or just a constant pulling" – and says the one-to-one work covers everything from "severe aggression issues" down to basic commands. There is also a nail-trim service aimed at dogs that panic during handling, which the site says the method "has been able to take the worst cases of nail clipping fear" and turn it into a positive experience.

Who runs it

The site is built around Ben Draper, with dedicated About, Philosophy and Testimonials pages.
