About Carolina Dog Training, LLC

Elaine's program brought structure and discipline to our high energy (all love) Mini Bernedoodle. He was well behaved with us but when he met new people or new dogs his energy went through the roof and he lost complete control of himself. He now does 90% of his walks off leash, walks by other dogs, listens to all commands, and when you tell him to "take a break" around new people and dogs he is SO MUCH better behaved. Elaine is an awesome trainer, partner and fully committed to teach in the dogs as well as owners. You have to be willing to make the commitment, and if you are, the results are game changing. We now have the family dog we hoped for...one that can go with us wherever. It is a no brainer to recommend Elaine. If you are remotely considering it...go for it because you won't be disappointed!

Elaine is terrific. She is patient with the owners (us) and gets fabulous results in a short period of time. She is extremely knowledgable about all aspects of dogs. She explains what needs to be done in an easy, comprehensible way. We have used a number of trainers in the past. By far, Elaine is THE best!

My wild child is now a well mannered dog that no longer pulls on her walks. I also had trouble taking her different places for walks because she would be reactive. Only a few days out of training and we have walked in multiple crowded parks and other areas without issue. Elaine cares about the dogs, explains everything in detail and is available for questions/help even after the training. I highly recommend Elaine’s training program and will be contacting her for training with my next pup.

Elaine is brilliant! I can’t believe how much my puppy learned in just 2 weeks. We dropped him off knowing very little and picked him up having mastered many commands. He is so well behaved and has made our home life much more enjoyable.

Elaine did a wonderful job with Coco. She has really great manners now. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! Loved her after pick up sessions. Really helpful!
