Canine Board and Train Programs

Carolina Dog Training is not a franchise. Rather, our unique programs include an immersion-style Board & Train Program where your dog lives with Elaine, her family and her personal pack who function as healthy role models. Your dog will learn and practice in real-world settings that present typical triggers that cause your dog to respond with excitement. One such setting is our very own neighborhood which has many dogs, children, school buses, skateboards, bikes etc. Thus, what is offered are real-life opportunities to develop effective communication with your companion who in turn learns to become an obedient and more peaceful pup; one who understands the rules for a healthy, happy life!

Our residency program is a favorite solution for dog owners who would rather have Carolina Dog Training do the "heavy lifting" regarding establishing a training foundation that subsequently only has to be maintained after your dog has already been Trained by Elaine™.

Additionally, this unique program is an ideal opportunity for dogs to build healthy social skills with other dogs. Since your dog will be integrated into our balanced pack, s/he will learn the joy and peace of becoming a cooperative member of the group.
