Dog Training

Based on Science That Works!

Here at the Ranch, our training philosophy is simple: We provide personalized training solutions for dogs of all ages! Our goal is to help our clients build a healthy, positive, fun and mutually cooperative relationship with their dog. All of our training programs are designed using positive motivational techniques, clear communication and respect for both the pet and the guardian.

We follow and promote the position statements developed by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) which recommends that training should focus on reinforcing desired behaviors with reward based training methods to motivate them rather than focus on using fear or pain to punish undesirable behaviors.

We offer a variety of training programs that have been developed to help you reach all of your goals with your dog – whether it’s a perfect lap dog or a champion in the show ring. You can find more information on our program availability by selecting one of our training divisions below.

When should you start obedience training for dogs?

You should start obedience training for dogs as early as just a few weeks old. It is good to start training your dog fairly young so that they can begin to build a foundation of commands that you can expand upon with their training later on. To learn more about getting your pet signed up for dog training classes, contact us today.

Is paying for dog training worth it?

Yes, professional dog training is worth it! Dog training is a great way to ensure that your dog follows commands quickly and stays out of trouble. While there are some basic commands and tricks you can teach your dog to follow, enrolling your dog in training classes can help them learn to be more obedient, correct their bad habits, form confidence, get into shape, and so much more. Having a professional to train your dog is helpful in the long run for all types of dogs. 

At Carolina Ranch, our trainers know exactly how to make sure your dog feels comfortable in our environment and learns in a fun and engaging way. All of our programs are safe and effective and we always use positive reinforcement to help your dog feel rewarded and cared for while they work towards learning new skills and improving their mental and physical health. For more information on the various dog training options we offer, contact us today!
