Public manners. Advanced stability. Recognized achievement.
Earn titles. Build a dog you can take anywhere.
Asheville isn’t a quiet training room — it’s trails, breweries, downtown sidewalks, and constant distractions. This is a trainer-led hybrid AKC track designed for real public reliability. Your dog gets structured day-train reps (with pick-up & drop-off), then we coach you so the skills transfer to real life — not just sessions.
CGC foundations that actually hold in public
Loose leash, neutral greetings, stable handling, and controlled transitions — proofed outside.
Confidence around strangers & new environments
Calm neutrality, recovery skills, and composure when the environment gets busy.
Real-world manners (not “demo dog” obedience)
Sit/down/leave-it aren’t the goal — reliability through distractions is.
Polished greetings & impulse control
No jumping, no dragging to people/dogs — just predictable behavior you can trust.
CGCA & CGCU level proofing
Advanced stability: tighter spaces, heavier distractions, longer duration, cleaner handling.
A measurable goal (titles) + a better daily dog
You’re not just “doing training” — you’re building toward a recognized standard.
We do the heavy lifting with trainer-led day training in real environments (pick-up & drop-off). Then we coach you to handle the same skills so your dog performs with you. When you’re ready, we can schedule official AKC testing for the level you’ve built.
Professional training tools are separate from program pricing.
Depending on your dog and training goals, recommended equipment typically ranges from $50–$270.
Tools are selected intentionally for clarity, safety, and long-term reliability.
