About Woof in the Woods

Training by appointment. Retail sales by appointment or through special orders. Training clients are welcome to shop at their appointments or classes. Woof in the Woods' goal is to teach dogs, coach owners and achieve goals by providing high quality reward-based training programs to clients in the Western North Carolina. We promote products and services we utilize with our own personal dogs and recommend for clients. We love to see owners have trust in their dog to take them on hikes, to local breweries and restaurants, travel with them and build a respectful relationship with their dog. This happens with basic foundational obedience skills and lots of practice and consistency.

What people have asked about this business.

I need to get a service dog certified. What do I need to do?

There is no official certification for a service dog. A service dog can be self trained or trained with the help of a professional dog trainer. Feel free to call us to discuss your training needs further and any questions about a "required" certification.

I started going to Woof in the Woods 9 months ago to make sure the small dog we rescued wouldn't end up being the stereotypical yappy, jumping, annoying small dog I was used to seeing. I ended up getting a whole lot more. I've attended 4 class series (beginner obedience twice, recall, and intermediate), several 1 on 1 sessions, some drop in training, and have taken my dog to Woof for Friday socializations and boarding. We're scheduled for the agility training series and anticipate retaking the intermediate course again in the near future since you can retake the core classes with their open door policy. Needless to say, in 9 months I've gotten a solid spread of their offered services and everything has been a stellar experience. In working with Tracy and Rob at Woof in the Woods, I discovered a love and understanding of dogs I didn't even know I was missing. They've given me the confidence to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and have a joyful experience doing so.

Thank you Woof in the Woods for the past several years of training and socialization. We got a puppy right before Covid and because you and your staff stayed open for training and socialization, we now have an amazing young adult dog. From Basic to Canine Good Citizen classes, she become the best trained dog we have ever had. She enjoys the Friday socializing so much, all we have to say is “let’s go to woof” and she sits by the door waiting to go be with her friends. The benefits of Pack Adventures and picking up food and other goodies is another bonus! We have and will continue to recommend Woof in the Woods to anyone who asks. The staff R, J, and T are the friendliest dog people (her pack persons). B. and T. Griffin

My husband and I are so grateful for all the support we have received from Woof in the Woods while training our German Shepherd to be the best life companion. When we started training with them, our dog was so nervous that she hid behind my legs. Through basic and intermediate group classes at Woof in the Woods, she gained some self- confidence and has been coming out of her shell. We continue to participate in the pack hikes, brewery trips, and drop in classes at Woof and always have a great time! The staff always seems to have solutions or advice for any issues we experience, which is so helpful for us as first-time German Shepherd owners. Would definitely recommend Woof in the Woods for all your obedience training needs!
