Dog Socialization Training
Help your dog be their best selves around other people and animals.
Dogs with good social skills can more appropriately interact with different people, animals and environments. In fact, socialization can often help cut down on aggression, anxiety and other undesirable behaviors in these settings. Without being properly socialized, your dog may display unpleasant behaviors — excessive barking, lunging, growling, trembling, incontinence, etc. — when around new stimuli.
Socialization behavior modification can help your dog learn more adaptability to situations where unique distractions are present. Our trainers know that to be successful, we have to meet your dog where they’re at. We have successfully helped dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments acclimate to social environments and thrive wherever they are. Big or small, puppy or adult, we’ll teach your dog skills to help them succeed around others.
Teaching your dog proper socialization behavior can provide a number of benefits, such as:
In addition, we’ll teach your dog that you’re their biggest advocate in public by reinforcing bonds that help reassure them that you’ve got their back.

Our dog trainers have decades of combined experience. From their very first class, your dog will work with some of Charleston’s most elite trainers, each of whom has experience training dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments.
To make training time as effective as possible, we’ll thoroughly assess each pup’s strengths, areas for improvement, and learning patterns. Plus, we’ll use plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement to ensure dogs feel secure as they grow their skills.
Most dogs learn best when they feel encouraged. We work hard to understand your dog’s unique personality and needs, and will work with them in a supportive, caring, understanding environment that they may not find elsewhere.
Combining positive reinforcement with gentle corrective measures, we ensure that each session is both educational and enjoyable for your best friend.
Your dog’s training plan is as important to us as it is to you. We’ll ensure you’re kept up to date on their progress and gain important tips to help them maintain skills outside of class.
Our facilities are designed to be welcoming spaces where your dog can feel safe coming out of their shell and expanding their comfort zone.
