Real Results from Real Charlotte Dog Owners
The lessons have been really easy to follow, even for us as first-time dog owners. There's nothing so complicated that we can't practice it on our own, when we're not with Samantha. It's awesome to be able to hang out with our other friends who have dogs, and for them to say that Riggs is the most well-behaved one there, even at four months old!

Limited Availability- Our program is intentionally small-scale—we only accept two dogs at a time to give your puppy the personalized attention they deserve.
-
1-Week Program: Focused help for specific struggles.
-
2-Week Program: A solid foundation for a well-mannered puppy.
So how does this work?

Let’s chat! We’ll learn about your puppy, your goals, and your biggest challenges so we can recommend the best next step.
Choose Your Training Option
Whether you want one-on-one lessons or full-service support, we’ll help you pick the program that fits your schedule and your puppy’s needs.
Transform Your Puppy
With the right plan, expert coaching, and a little consistency, you’ll go from chaos to calm—and raise a puppy you can proudly take anywhere.
Start Your Puppy On A Firm Foundation
Just like little humans, puppies thrive with consistency, clear boundaries, and loads of love. Structured puppy training is a game-changer—it pays off in confidence, calmness, and connection for years to come.
We’ll start with weekly visits at your home to tackle the essentials: potty training, crate comfort, socialization, leash skills, and foundational commands like Sit, Down, Come, and Place.
As your puppy grows (usually around 5–6 months), we’ll begin meeting at dog-friendly spots around Charlotte. These sessions introduce new environments and distractions so your pup learns to stay calm and focused—no matter where you go.
From there, you can either continue private lessons or enroll in a Board & Train to level up obedience and reliability.
Will it feel magical?
Honestly, sometimes it does. We’ve been called the Fairy Dogmother more than once. But real transformation takes effort. You’ll have weekly “homework” to practice the exercises we introduce—because consistency is what turns training into habits.
