Charlotte Certified Dog Trainers

Another crucial factor is education. Your dog wants to please you, but until you he’s been trained, he does not know how. We won’t just train your pet; we’ll give you an understanding of his nature and behavior so you can understand the why as well as the how of each technique.

Jason & Red
Dog Trainer

I can’t wait to help you! Dogs don’t sit, stay, or heel because they think it’s the right thing to do. They do it because those habits have been ingrained through training. I’ll work with you to hone your training until good habits are second nature for you and your pet. Together, we’ll develop the deepest possible relationship between you and your dog with the least amount of tension.

Chris & Leyna
Dog Trainer

I want you to get as much joy out of your fur family as I do! I take pride in providing pet parents with individual attention and professional instruction rooted in the science of animal behavior. My goal is to help you better understand your dog so he or she can be not only a lifelong companion, but a true best friend.

Happy Clients

I am super impressed with Jason and his training. Other trainers I tried in the past were no better than YouTube or... online articles. Jason has very specific tips and methods which are not covered anywhere else but really make alot of sense.I'm only 2 lessons into my puppy sessions but so far I am really impressed. (and seriously I have raised another dog read alot of books and articles and have had other trainers so I am not easily impressed).read more

We absolutely loved our experience training with Jason and we are so happy with the results! Before we went through... training, walks were stressful as our pup loved to pull, pick up everything she found on the ground, jump, and play tug of war with the leash. After working with Jason for a few sessions, she walks right at our side, is less distracted, and can even play off leash! We've received several compliments from our neighbors about how well behaved she is now! Jason was flexible with scheduling and answered all of our training-related questions. We're so glad we used Canine Scholars!read more

Our experience with Canine Scholars and Jason was excellent and I highly recommend them for any training services.... Jason is very patient and knowledgeable. We wanted our golden doodle, Whiskey, to be trained off leash. Jason did an excellent job in a short time. Whiskey is fully trained and we really enjoyed our sessions with Jason.read more

We had a rescue that needed a reset to fit into our pack. Well intended dog but was not trained. Jason and Chris did a... great job humanly gaining his trust and build some foundations of behavior that we have enjoyed since we got him home. Great experience.read more

What’s Happening?

It’s amazing how dog-friendly Charlotte is! Here are some of our favorite places and events for you and your dog, compliments of Canine Scholars of Charlotte, NC.

Local Events

Get Started Today!

We’re Charlotte’s leading dog trainers, offering more than a dozen nationally and internationally recognized training programs. We offer group and individual classes, home visits and even boarding services when your furry friend can’t travel with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

We would love to schedule a FREE in-home evaluation with you and your dog. We can discuss your goals and issues. At this time you can ask us all sorts of questions about our training methods, pricing and results.

Why choose Canine Scholars of Charlotte NC?

It’s simple, let us show you how our dogs compare. Sure, you don’t need your dog to throw trash out or do a handstand, but you’re hiring a professional…shouldn’t their dog blow your mind? And really, don’t you deserve the best trainers – with the best training?

I want you to come out and look at my dog…How much will you charge?

Nada, Nothing, Zilch. Who doesn’t like showing off their work? We would love to come out and show you our dogs, so you can see the quality of our training program with your own eyes. At this time we will evaluate your dog and go over your goals. If you are looking for pricing on our programs, that can be found here: https://www.caninescholars.com/charlotte-nc/training-cost/

Do you own a dog?

I’m a dog trainer, of course I own a dog! A dog trainer without a dog is like a handyman without any tools…

I don’t need my dog to be off leash, why should I care?

Getting your dog to the next level is our highest priority. When we leave, Canine Scholars wants you to feel confident that, regardless of the situation, your dog will respond even if his best buddy in the neighborhood just stopped over to see if he could play.

When is training and how long?

Training appointments are scheduled at your convenience. Typically sessions last approximately 1hr and are on a weekly basis. After the first session you will be amazed at the results!

I don’t really need all those tricks!

Our dogs perform lots of fun tasks, maybe you don’t need all of it, but as a company we want our dogs to be the best they can possibly be…that leads to the best trainers in the Charlotte NC area.
