For years, we've been the trusted choice for Charleston families who demand excellence. From Kiawah Island estates to Mount Pleasant neighborhoods, we understand that every dog - and every family - deserves professional training that actually works.
Our team is consisted of certified military working dog trainers by the Department of Defense.
Your adorable 8-week-old Golden Retriever will be 70 pounds by Christmas. Start them right with our comprehensive puppy programs that prevent behavioral problems before they start.
What’s Included:
Basic obedience isn’t about tricks – it’s about safety, communication, and peace of mind. Our programs teach reliable commands that work whether you’re at Hampton Park or navigating King Street’s weekend crowds.
Core Command Training:
Private Sessions: Customized training addressing your specific challenges. Isle of Palms clients prefer private sessions so we can practice recall on the beach where their dogs will actually be off-leash.
Aggression, anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding – these aren’t character flaws, they’re communication breakdowns we can fix. Our behavioral modification programs address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Common Issues We Resolve:
Real Success Story: Last month, we helped a West Ashley family whose rescue was resource guarding food bowls around their toddler. Through careful desensitization training, that same dog now lets their three-year-old pet him while he eats.
While other trainers push dogs through cookie-cutter programs, we craft individualized training plans for YOUR specific goals and YOUR dog's unique personality.
Sometimes the fastest path to results is intensive, full-time training. Our board and train programs combine professional boarding with structured training sessions throughout the day.
Board & Train Intensives:
This works especially well for busy executives and families in Charleston, like in Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant who want dramatic results but don’t have time for daily training sessions. We handle the intensive work, then teach you how to maintain what your dog has learned.
Dog aggression scares people, but most aggressive behavior stems from fear, insecurity, or poor communication – not dominance. Our aggression management programs focus on changing your dog’s emotional response while keeping everyone safe.
Our Approach:
We’ve successfully worked with everything from leash-reactive rescues to territorial guard dogs. Each case requires a customized approach, but the goal is always the same – a dog who feels confident instead of defensive.
We bring professional dog training directly to families in Charleston’s most sought-after communities:
Primary Service Areas:
Area-Specific Expertise: Each neighborhood has unique training needs. Beach communities require solid recall training. Suburban areas need leash manners for neighborhood walks. Downtown locations demand socialization with crowds, carriages, and street noise. We adapt every program to match your environment.
These aren’t just reviews – they’re transformation stories from real Charleston families who went from frustration to joy with their dogs.
Most basic obedience programs show results in 4-6 weeks with consistent practice. Behavioral modification can take 8-12 weeks depending on the severity of issues. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation.
We utilize balanced training methods which includes utilizing the least intrinsic method to conquer behavioral issues. This does not rule out the use of a properly conditioned electronic collar.
Investment range depends on each dogs specific issues and severity of behavioral complications. Contact us or a free in home evaluation
