About the Trainer
Canine Academy of the Carolinas is dedicated to helping dog lovers build a relationship of trust and well-being with their beloved family members, their dogs. They cater to all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, offering training at the client’s location or their facility.
Their philosophy is that all dogs have the potential to be “Man’s Best Friend,” but some need more guidance. They aim to build training programs that fit family needs and enhance the dog’s potential. They specialize in starting new puppies with the correct foundation, assisting with housebreaking, and teaching leash walking.
