Kevin Mac Training Center

Kevin’s primary program is an in-kennel, intensive training program where dogs stay for up to 8 weeks and receive daily, personalized training focused on obedience, behavior correction, and environmental exposure. Training includes on-leash and off-leash commands, impulse control, and socialization. Upon completion, owners attend lessons to learn how to maintain the dog’s behavior. Private lessons are available for those who prefer weekly in-person sessions with hands-on coaching. AKC obedience titles (CD, CDX, UD) are available as an add-on. All programs include lifetime free follow-up lessons.

Pricing Summary

Pricing is not listed publicly; clients must contact Kevin directly for details. All in-kennel training packages include free lifetime follow-up lessons and family training sessions. Private lessons require a minimum 2-month commitment and are billed hourly.

Policies

Dogs must be fully vaccinated and on parasite prevention before enrollment. Emergency veterinary care is provided immediately, with notification to the owner. Training spots are reserved upon contact, and clients are encouraged to schedule well in advance due to limited capacity (only six dogs trained at a time). No cancellation or rescheduling policy is explicitly stated.

Kevin Mac Training Center is a dog training business based in Siler City, North Carolina, offering in-kennel obedience training and private lessons. With over 30 years of experience, Kevin trains dogs of all breeds and ages to become well-behaved companions that fit seamlessly into their owners’ lifestyles. His training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, and he personally handles all training sessions—no assistants are involved. Clients can drop off their dogs for intensive in-kennel programs, often lasting up to 8 weeks, and receive personalized follow-up lessons to ensure the dog responds to the owner. Training includes leash manners, recall, sit, down, stay, and behavior correction, with optional AKC obedience title preparation and service dog task training. All programs include lifetime free follow-up lessons, and dogs are housed in individual kennels with climate control and daily enrichment. Kevin emphasizes building trust and freedom through consistent, quality training rather than treats or clickers.

The business operates by appointment only, with a maximum of six dogs in training at a time to ensure individualized attention. Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and parasite prevention before enrollment. Family visits during training can be arranged, and out-of-state clients regularly participate in the program.

Kevin also offers private lessons for owners who prefer to train their dogs weekly alongside professional guidance. His clients report life-changing results, including transformed rescue dogs, improved behavior in reactive or fearful dogs, and successful AKC title achievements.

Accomplishments

Kevin has trained over 30 years and earned multiple AKC obedience titles for his clients’ dogs. He has successfully trained rescue dogs with severe behavioral issues, including fearfulness and reactivity, and has received consistent referrals from satisfied clients, with 99.9% of his business coming from word-of-mouth.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients must contact Kevin via phone or email to schedule a consultation and reserve a spot in the training program. Due to high demand and limited capacity, advance booking is required. A discussion of the dog’s needs, behavior issues, and owner goals is conducted before enrollment.
