I can't speak highly enough about Carolina Dog Training. Elaine is a master of her craft. We dropped off a rambunctious, high-energy 6 month old puppy who had minimal self-control. After two weeks working with Elaine, we picked up an obedient and intelligent dog who is eager to follow direction and exhibits strong self-control.

Amazing!!! I will be sending every dog here on out to Elaine. She worked wonders with my Boykin.

I had a wonderful experience with Elaine and my newly adopted border collie Belle. After exactly two weeks, Belle walks on my heel with an automatic stop and comes to me when I call her whether indoors or out. We learned how to sit and wait off the leash as well as stay in “place” when instructed to do so. I learned how to approach other issues I had with her such as jumping up on the door when someone arrives. Belle shows immense joy when I praise her for obeying my commands! I could not be happier with my experience and with Elaine. She really knows her stuff! I highly recommend and so does Belle!

Elaine is a dog whisperer. She knew exactly how to teach Clementine, our dog, and then taught our family as well. She is clear with her instructions and always available to help answer a question. I highly recommend her. Clementine is now the dream puppy!

Elaine, at Carolina Dog Training, provides an exceptional program. I'm incredibly grateful for the quality of care she provided for my 2yo dog Widow who is less reactive and walks calmly on the leash since completing the program. I highly recommend this program to others who are looking to invest in positive lifestyle change for their dog and seeking a trainer who loves what she does, is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and truly cares about helping you and your dog thrive! Thank you Elaine :)
