We have three dogs, have lived in two states, and have experienced many different trainers and training programs. Elaine is unequivocally the best trainer around. Her knowledge and expertise are unsurpassed, and she gives the owners the much-needed patience, support, and guidance to ensure a successful outcome for the dogs. I would recommend Carolina Dog Training to any dog owner wishing to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships with their dogs. She has trained two of our dogs, and while they have always been angels to me, now they are angelic in others' eyes, too! And the impact lasts - Gunner was trained more than six years ago and he's retained what he learned - even when I am not quite as disciplined as I should be :)

I would highly recommend Elaine. My 8 month old puppy spent two weeks with her and came back a different pup. Our house is so much calmer, now that my pup listens and our walks are so enjoyable without all the pulling. Elaine also taught me how to be confident with continuing to train my puppy. I will recommend her to friends and will use her again if I ever get another dog/puppy.

What an amazing job with our dog. Was well worth the money and time. The only negative I have is, Elaine’s way of talking to the dog owner. Was not a fan of that. With that being said, our dog has never been better.

We brought our 9 month old GSP for a 2 week training program, and when we picked her up we were shocked. She was so well behaved and able to manage her big feelings. The true test though was when we brought her home… she is so much more fun to live with. She has reduced anxiety and an incredible ability to maintain the commands (place, down, sit, etc.). We can bring her places and have company and not worry about her behavior. Elaine worked doggie magic.
