A Message from Our Pack Leader
The Carolina Dog Training Way:
Elaine and her training partner, Daisy
Elaine has worked with dogs--both formally and informally--all of her life.
Possessing an inherent love and understanding of dogs, she uses these
attributes to help dogs and their owners form well-balanced relationships
with each other.

Having earned a Master's Degree in education, Elaine spent years teaching
both children and adults. However, she ultimately decided to apply this
knowledge and experience to her true calling: dog training.

Elaine
received her Professional Trainer Certification from the National K9
School as well as an
E-Touch Certification from The International School
for Dog Trainers. She
is an AKC CGC®  APPROVED EVALUATOR and a
member of the
International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP).
Additionally, she
is a member of the National K-9 Trainers Association.

Elaine participates in a variety of volunteer activities through the Triangle,
including presenting workshops and seminars focused on the various
aspects of dog behavior and training. While all bring her much enjoyment,
the one closest to her heart is the
DELTA SOCIETY PET PARTNERS®
program, which focuses on service and therapy animals. She and Daisy--
her Canine Good Citizen Labrador Retriever--volunteer as a team with this
group.
About Elaine
First of all, thank you for taking time to learn
more about Carolina Dog Training and the
services we offer. We train dogs of every breed and age
that have exhibited every behavioral problem you can imagine.
And, since we first opened our doors, it’s been our guiding
mission to transform each dog we work with into one that’s
well-balanced and well-behaved.
Our promise of delivering you
a dog you can be proud to take anywhere is something we take
very seriously.

When we first hear from dog owners, they're often
frustrated--even to the point of giving up.
Despite all of their
efforts to curtail bad behaviors, nothing has worked. And they find
themselves in a long-term commitment with a dog they can't enjoy.
It's a terrible place to be. At Carolina Dog Training our challenge--
as well as our calling--is to transform the relationship between
people and their dogs from one that's a power struggle into one in
which pack leadership is clear and one that is treasured and
respected by both the owner and the dog.

We are firm believers, practitioners and teachers of pack
leadership. In order for any dog to reach its full potential as a well-
behaved companion, it must feel secure in knowing that it is not
responsible for making decisions about anything that's occurring
within its environment. Instead, it looks to the pack leader--its
OWNER--to make such decisions. This allows the dog to do what it
does best: be a follower within the pack.

While our focus is on training dogs, we also train the humans who
own them. It allows us to reach training goals faster and make the
results we achieve sustainable long after the training sessions
have been completed.

Again, thank you for taking time to learn more about Carolina Dog
Training. I would love to talk with you personally regarding your
dog and discuss how we can develop a customized training
program that will get you the well-balanced, well-behaved dog
you're dreaming of!
