Carter Wilde is a professional dog trainer born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. After attending a 16-week training group lessons course in 2005 with his dog, Spike, Carter decided to become a trainer himself.

Carter apprenticed locally for two years and then completed several courses with Michael Ellis, a nationally-renowned dog trainer in California. Carter’s passion for the field, coupled with these intensive courses and subsequent certifications, launched his professional dog training career in 2005. He has fine-tuned his skills and created a unique training approach that delivers optimal results to happy clients. In 2017, Carter bought the property and built Wilde Acres Boarding & Training. Carter also trains service dogs for veterans with PTSD and clients with mobility challenges. When Carter’s not training dogs, he enjoys spending time with his wife and family, fitness, cooking, and tending to the Wilde Acres grounds and facility.
