Carolina Canine Academy is a woman-owned and veteran-operated business that specializes in training and supplying police and government-grade canines. They breed, import, and train green canines for law enforcement, federal agencies, and public safety departments. Their canines are trained in single-purpose roles (narcotic, explosive, cadaver, gun detection) and dual-purpose roles (patrol and detection). Training methods combine positive reinforcement with negative punishment, using ScentLogix and real odors to ensure reliability. They offer handler classes and certification through the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. While their primary focus is on professional and government K9 units, they also sell trained canines to qualified individuals and departments. They provide a 30-day money-back guarantee, 2-year health guarantee, and lifetime workability guarantee on all canines.

They do not offer training services for pet owners or general companion dogs. Their services are tailored exclusively to law enforcement, government, and professional K9 handlers.

They house over 40 green canines on-site and allow potential buyers to visit and test canines before purchase. They supply canines to agencies including ATF, TSA, US Customs and Border Patrol, DOD, and US Marshals.
