Welcome to Carolina Dog Training, LLC
Where All Dogs and Humans are Trained By Elaine™
Life with a well-behaved, well-balanced dog begins here!
From the day we first opened our doors in 2006, it has been our guiding mission to transform each of our dogs into one that is balanced and well-mannered. Our promise is to deliver a dog you can be proud to take anywhere, and we take this promise very seriously. We help frustrated dog owners learn better ways to ensure a lifetime of enjoyment and harmony with their dog. At Carolina Dog Training, LLC our calling is to transform the dynamic relationship between people and their dogs from challenging to fulfilling, thus creating a healthy, harmonious and respectful relationship between human and dog.
The Pack Leader Concept
We are firm believers, practitioners, and teachers of pack leadership. In order for any dog to reach its full potential as a well-behaved companion, it must feel secure in knowing that he is under the guidance of a trusted, loving and respected leader who will make appropriate, thoughtful decisions for the well-being of the entire pack. This allows the dog to do what it does best: be a follower and cooperative member within the pack. While our focus is on training dogs, we also train the humans who care for them. It allows us to reach training goals faster and make the results we achieve sustainable long after the training sessions have been completed.
As a master trainer, Elaine’s focus is on teaching both dogs and people. Before you can influence your dog’s behavior, you must change the way your dog sees you. Elaine’s teaching includes emphasis on humans’ awareness of their self-talk and limitations that actually prevent them from enjoying a fulfilling partnership with their dogs. You will learn strategies for problem-solving in real-world settings, proper timing, effective communication and motivational skills that foster cooperation, reading body language, and how to use your own energy, intuition and tools to impact both your lives; thus achieving the rewarding, healthy and balanced relationship you seek.

Elaine, A Pack Leader
What a gift to watch Elaine, "A Pack Leader", with her calm and assertive energy, transform so many dogs and set them up for success to becoming stable and balanced companions. Two years ago she trained Jackie and Laddie and now I can take Jackie and Laddie anywhere, I put them on a place command and smile with joy and pride when so many people compliment their behavior. I love having them with me at Lowes, lunch, dinner and of course at Starbucks! Elaine most importantly taught me that the dogs look to me for leadership and information. Thanks Elaine for giving me the dogs I always wanted.

Unpredictable dog...Awesome experience!
Elaine is amazing! I found her because I have a love of a dog who was starting to become unpredictable with people and other dogs. She taught me to be calm and confidant and was extremely kind and patient with me and my dog Jack. She did such a great job with Jack we then had her work with our other dog Pibbi and could not be more pleased with the results!
Then we needed WOOF camp so our family could take a trip , what a joy to not have any worries knowing our fur kids were being so well taken care of and learning new things to boot. AWESOME experience.

Private training sessions
My four month old puppy, Finley, and I finished the Private 5-Session training sessions yesterday and it was excellent! Elaine was wonderful in training both of us in so many new commands! He learned quickly with easy, firm instructions and commands. She is worth every penny! I have a well-mannered puppy and we are both happier and more content in our home and out on our adventures. He is able to go off lease and come on command. Incredible at his age!!! I'll keep working with him and praising him since he is such a smart puppy. I couldn't have done it without Elaine and Carolina Dog Training!!
Thank you!!!

Just a few sessions
My one-year-old dog is more responsive, calmer, and more-balanced. We receive constant compliments about her behavior. Thanks to just a few short sessions with Elaine, my dog is consistently well-behaved! ~ Alexandra McArthur

I was referred to Trained by Elaine / Carolina Dog Training
I was referred to Trained by Elaine by a family member who had their dog trained by her. I was a bit skeptical about her ability to produce results in such a short period of time (3 sessions) but I was absolutely wrong. Elaine taught me as much as she taught my dog Zeus. She accurately explained the concepts and tools that I needed to use in order to control my dog while allowing him to relax and enjoy himself instead of going insane every time we left the house.
Before the training, any time Zeus saw another dog he would bark and lunge which was not only embarrassing but straining on our relationship. He is now able to walk by my side calmly. When he sees other dogs now he has a very minimal reaction if any and we just finished our last session not even a week ago.
I have and will continue to recommend Elaine for dog training!

An excellent trainer
Elaine is an excellent trainer and you will be amazed at how quickly she transforms your dog’s behavior. We had her get our dachshund under control, Elaine immediately had control and worked with us to make it enjoyable to walk a well behaved dog! Elaine has training from Cesar Millan, and eliminates the uncertainty and guesswork you will find elsewhere. Highly recommended!

Elaine is amazing!!
Elaine is amazing!! She assisted me in training my pack of 3 and it was the best decision!! We enjoy our dogs more than ever before!! Elaine trained them how to behave in numerous situations and trained us, as owners, how to continue that training. We all reap the benefits of this training daily. Elaine is very kind and patient, as well as extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone with a new untrained dog or just one with some old bad habits. - Jennifer Mills
