Pricing Summary

Policies

A 24-hour cancellation notice is requested. All dogs must be current on Rabies and Bordetella vaccines to join any program, class, or event. Lessons are spaced about 7 to 10 days apart and completed within six months of purchase. KeenDog focuses on teaching owners the skills to succeed and does not guarantee specific outcomes, since results depend on consistent follow-through at home.

KeenDog Training is a professional dog training company serving Fort Mill, SC and the greater Charlotte, NC area, co-founded by head trainer Katrina Kensington. Katrina takes a modern, balanced approach, combining marker and lure training, play, leash work, and e-collar training to build clear communication between dogs and their owners and dependable behavior both on and off leash.

From a dedicated facility at 124 Winners Circle in Fort Mill, and in clients’ own homes and real-world settings, KeenDog offers an unusually full lineup of programs: private in-home lesson packages, board-and-train, puppy programs, and the flagship Puppy Prodigy, in which the team hand-raises and trains a puppy before returning it to the family. Group classes are included for life with every program and serve as the real-world proving ground, from park walks to paddle-boarding outings.

Katrina has trained under respected mentors including Tyler Muto and Nino Drowaert, completed NePoPo and Mike Suttle coursework, and is certified in PTSD service-dog training through This Able Veteran. She is a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). The KeenDog name says it all: keen dogs are eager, focused, and a joy to live with, and that is what every client walks away with.
