Police K9 Training

Proven K9 Programs for Patrol, Detection & More

Board & Train

Faster Results. Lifelong Change.

Our board & train program is ideal for busy dog owners who want results without the daily grind of training. Your dog stays at our facility for 2–4 weeks and receives daily one-on-one sessions with an experienced trainer. We work on obedience, behavioral issues, leash manners, and confidence — all while your dog lives in a structured environment.

But we don’t just train your dog and send them home. We include comprehensive owner lessons to teach you how to maintain the training long after your dog returns. It’s not a magic fix — it’s a proven, immersive process designed to give you lasting results and a better relationship with your dog.

Dog Boarding

Safe, Clean, and Comfortable Boarding You Can Trust

Leaving your dog behind shouldn’t feel like a risk. Our facility in Mt. Pleasant offers secure, climate-controlled kennels and daily care from professionals who understand dogs — not just pet sitters. Whether you’re away for the weekend or an extended trip, your dog stays in a calm, structured environment.

We prioritize cleanliness, routine, and personalized attention to ensure your dog stays happy and healthy while you're gone. And because we’re experienced trainers, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in the hands of people who understand canine behavior on a deeper level.

Behavioral Modification

Stop the Barking, Biting, and Bad Behavior

Behavioral issues like reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, and fearfulness can make life with your dog stressful — or even dangerous. With decades of experience training high-drive working dogs, we specialize in addressing challenging behavior that many trainers turn away.

Our behavioral programs start with a detailed evaluation and are custom-built for your dog’s needs. Whether it’s resource guarding, dog-dog aggression, or general anxiety, we’ll help your dog gain confidence and help you regain peace of mind. No quick fixes — just real results, built on proven techniques.

Obedience Training

Teach Your Dog to Listen — Every Time

Every dog deserves the chance to be a well-mannered companion. Our obedience training focuses on the fundamentals that matter most: leash manners, sit, stay, recall, place, and more. Whether you’re raising a puppy or working with an adult dog, we tailor the training to meet your dog’s unique temperament and your goals as an owner.

Our approach isn’t just about teaching commands — it’s about creating clear communication between you and your dog. With structure, consistency, and the right training plan, you’ll gain more control, more confidence, and a calmer dog in every environment — at home, in public, or on the trail.
