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 parent the paw-fect pup! Dogs don’t sit, stay, or heel instinctively but through practiced training and focused guidance. I’m here to help you and your dog establish good habits and an unbreakable bond. Together we will select the training method that works best for your lifestyle and your pup’s personality.

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 individualized 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.

Jason is a great trainer who can quickly identify issues with the dog and the owner. Years ago, he helped us find... solutions so we could keep both of our dogs, who were aggressive towards one another at the time. More recently, he generously helped us identify the underlying issues that need to be addressed with our current dog. We've tried training with other people and have never been satisfied with the results. Jason has never disappointed us.read more

This is the most valuable investment we have made in our dogs. With two very different personalities, Jason helped us... find the best tactics for both of our girls. We have much stronger confidence in their on leash walks, off leash recall and place command. Having an energetic husky, an older, stuck-in-her-ways hound/shepherd & a newborn is much easier with this awesome training! Thank you thank you thank you to Canine Scholars.read more

Chris and his team did an amazing job training our dog. I’m very happy with the results. On-leash walks used to be... stressful with our dog and now they are fun/enjoyable. The board and train program is definitely worth the money.read more

We recently sent our golden retriever puppy to Canine Scholars puppy board and train camp with Michael Bravo. We were... pleased to see the progress that our young puppy made in his two weeks. He now has a good base foundation of training and behavior as he grows. We consistently get compliments on his behavior already even at 19 weeks of age and we definitely will be sending him to adult camp when he's of age.read more

I’m thoroughly pleased with my dog’s behavior after spending two weeks with Canine Scholars. Prior to finding Chris at... CS, I was seriously considering re-homing him. He’d already failed to improve after working with a different trainer/company in the area, he frustrated me endlessly on a leash, I had zero voice control over him off leash, and I couldn’t manipulate him no matter the incentive or treat. After practicing what Chris and CS taught him for a week or two back at home, I now proudly own a completely different pup. I no longer leash him, I trust he’ll respond to any command I give him, and he’s a joy to have around. The training CS provided ranks as some of the best money I’ve ever spent.read more

My puppy Jackson did a two week board and train . The results are amazing! He is not pulling on leash anymore, so much... more pleasurable to go on long walks now. He also is attentive and listens so much better to commands , inside and out. I am amazed at how well he stays in place now. Jason and Chris have been great in answering all questions. I could also tell that Jackson was trained in a loving environment and received lots of attention! I would highly recommend Canine Scholars to anyone looking for dog training!read more

My fiancé and I recently got a new husky puppy who needed a little work with walking and not pulling us the entire... walk. Jason was able to show us how to train our puppy to pay attention and listen to our commands. Within 15 minutes our puppy was focused on us. Jason is a skilled in his craft. He was able to show us how to use the collar effectively and easy to understand. I fully recommend to use Jason for all dog training needs!read more

I am forever grateful to Canine Scholars for the incredible impact they made on our 2 year old Goldendoodle, Hokie! I... can’t recommend or thank them enough. Hokie was super high strung, energy through the roof 24/7 that was so difficult to control. In literally just one week with Canine Scholars Hokie is so much more obedient, can better harness and control his energy, and completely off leash trained. It’s amazing. The ease, comfortability, and convenience of being able to push a baby stroller while having Hokie walk right by my side off leash in a busy environment is HUGE!!!read more

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.

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?

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/

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

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.

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!

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.
