Field notes · Dog training in Angier & Raleigh, NC
Where should I train my dog?
Somewhere that supplies the problems you need to work on. A place picked for what is likely to turn up there beats a quiet field where nothing ever happens.
In the trainer's words
It's great in here too, because Home Depot has a lot of stuff that if you've got a dog with some nerves and they have a weird association or something, you'll probably run into it here.Kelton, Head Trainer, Angier K9 Consultants

Recognize your own dog in this?
Most people who call us have already been told their dog is a lost cause, or that they should manage it and hope. We train dogs in Angier, Raleigh and across the Triangle, and we take the serious aggression and reactivity cases that other programs turn down.
How it works: tell us what your dog is actually doing. We tell you honestly whether we can help, including when the answer is no. If we can, you leave with a plan and a start date.
What you get back is a dog whose world gets bigger instead of smaller.
