Bandit’s Buddies LLC is a local dog training business based in the Raleigh, Apex, Cary, and Durham area that offers personalized dog training services tailored to each dog’s breed, age, and behavior needs. They focus on faster results compared to traditional 6-8 week programs, with customized sessions that avoid one-size-fits-all approaches. Training is available for puppies, adolescents, adults, and senior dogs, with specialized courses for leash pulling, reactivity, stubborn behaviors, separation, and AKC Canine Good Citizen preparation. In addition to training, they provide dog photography, daycare, boarding, dog walking, homemade treats, and dog birthday parties—all designed to treat pets like family. Their training methodology emphasizes positive reinforcement, individual attention, and ongoing support after sessions.

They are founded by a dog owner who noticed inconsistent training results across breeds and developed a personalized approach based on research into stubborn and energetic breeds. Their signature training courses include Bandit’s Better Walker, Better Start, Stubborn Dog, and New Surroundings, each with clear topics, requirements, and pricing. All services are delivered within 40 miles of Raleigh, NC, and staff treat every dog with the same care they would give their own pets.
