Your dog will learn essential commands such as sit, stay, heel, and come in a setting that mimics everyday distractions. We train in public areas, not just indoors, so your dog learns to focus around other dogs, people, and sounds.
Each group class follows a structured weekly curriculum. We gradually increase distractions, adding new skills as your dog becomes more reliable. This system works for both beginners and those looking to advance their dog’s training.
Our trainers bring years of professional dog training experience to every session. They’re not just passionate they’re certified, educated, and experienced in dog behavior, canine psychology, and structured training. From reactive dog support to advanced obedience, we’ve seen it all.
Weekly group classes promote healthy socialization. Your dog will learn to work around other dogs calmly, and you’ll learn how to maintain control without frustration. For dogs that struggle with overexcitement or mild reactivity, this can be life-changing.
Led by B’Angelo White, who holds a B.S. in Animal Sciences and Business, our academy is built on years of experience in dog behavior, obedience, and rehabilitation. We’ve saved hundreds of dogs from euthanasia and trained thousands more with lasting success.
From basic obedience training to complex behavior modification, we train dogs in real-world settings not sterile classrooms. Dogs learn to listen through distractions and respond off-leash in everyday situations.
You’re never on your own. Every program comes with lifetime support so that if challenges come up months or even years later, we’ll be there to help.
Clients include busy families, first-time dog owners, and professionals seeking advanced training. Many come from surrounding areas like Garner, Morrisville, Clayton, and beyond.
