Chasing The Wild
Helping dogs build confidence, reliability, and fulfillment through structured adventure, real-world training, and clear communication.
More Than Dog Training
At Chasing The Wild, we believe dogs need more than obedience—they need adventure, fulfillment, and opportunities to express their natural instincts.
Through structured hikes, day training, private coaching, and immersive programs, we help dogs build confidence, improve behavior, and strengthen their connection with their humans.
Based in Waukee, Iowa, we proudly serve dogs and their people throughout the Des Moines metro.
