Where do we offer this training?
Behavioral clients in Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Charlotte, or other surrounding areas will be provided services in person at a public location or at one of our training facilities in Mooresville or Huntersville. We do not service in-home at this time for these areas.
Wondering what program is right for you and your dog?
We recognize that every dog is different and so are their people. Because of this all of our training programs are customizable and all of our curriculums can be modified to work with you and your dog on specific and individual goals.
The small behavioral package is great for dogs struggling with minor behavioral concerns, dogs that already have a great training foundation but need a focus on one or two behavior issues, or owners with some experience that need guidance.
The basic behavioral package is ideal for owners that need more training help, more severe behaviors, or dogs struggling with multiple different behavior problems.
The big behavioral package is our most in-depth behavioral program. Recommended for inexperienced owners who really need help, dogs struggling with severe or extreme behavioral concerns, multiple behavioral concerns, or extremely complex issues.
Still not sure which program best suits your dog? We are happy to give our expert guidance during your consultation process to help you choose the right training program.
