From the day we first opened our doors in 2006, it has been our guiding mission to transform each dog into one that is balanced & well-mannered. Our promise is to deliver a dog you can be proud to take anywhere. We take this promise very seriously. We help frustrated dog owners learn better ways to ensure a lifetime of enjoyment & harmony with their dog. At Carolina Dog Training our calling is to transform the dynamic relationship between people & their dogs from challenging to fulfilling, thus creating a healthy, harmonious & respectful relationship between human & dog. As a master trainer, Elaine’s focus is on teaching both dogs & people. Before you can influence your dog’s behavior, you must change the way your dog sees you.

We are 3 hours from Elaine and I would have driven 7 hours for her. We had taken our 2 yr old Golden Retriever, Georgia, to a different program before Elaine with disappointing results. We are 1 month post training with Elaine and are thrilled with how well Georgia listens and how she seems more relaxed. Georgia’s recall when off leash is amazing, I hike with her in the mountains off leash and she listens so well and constantly “checks” in with me. Walking her on the street and her being in a “heel” position makes our walks more enjoyable.
We love that Georgia was in Elaines home during training, with only 1 other dog, was well loved and taken care of during her 2 week training.

We adopted a 80lb young rescue who is sweet but had no manners, was dog reactive and had a strong prey instinct. After her 2 week board and train with Elaine she is now well behaved and we enjoy taking her out to parks and around town. Her recall when off leash amazes us! We really liked that she brings your dog into her home and they also learn how to interact within a dog pack. Elaine is very professional and knowledgeable, spent quality time educating us and is available for any follow up questions. She really cares about your dog and has a passion for helping your dog be the best family member possible!

Our Wheaton terrier came back after two weeks with Elaine a completely new and improved dog. Elaine is extraordinary with what she accomplishes and the kindness she uses to achieve it. I highly recommend her.

Elaine at Carolina Dog Training is a miracle worker! She transformed our 3-year-old Goldendoodle's behavior completely. No more pulling on the leash during walks, jumping on visitors, or incessant barking. He can even walk off-leash now and ignore squirrels. Elaine also worked closely with my husband and I, training us on how to reinforce Teddy's new behaviors. We're beyond grateful for Elaine's expertise and the positive changes in our dog's behavior. This training was worth every penny.

Elaine worked wonders for our 18 month old golden doodle. She was professional, responsive, paid close attention to detail and answered any and all questions we had. Our Penny was well loved and taken care of during her 2 week stay. We had 3 follow up sessions with Elaine and Penny to showcase her new skills and to teach us how to maintain those skills. She is remarkable as a trainer and as a person. I highly recommend Elaine and Carolina Dog Training, LLC. You will not be disappointed!
