One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.

Steve Thompson
Owner & Trainer
Steve is a native of East Tennessee and spent much of his childhood in the woods with the family dog. He's always loved the companionship of dogs, so much so that they become like his siblings. As a young adult, Steve left home for the Army where he learned the value of structure and consistency which is valuable in the dog training world. After having a 15 year career in management, Steve turned to over-the-road truck driving. Driving a truck allowed Steve to have dogs with him at work and train them in many different environments. Now living in the Charleston area, he is living his dream of working with dogs as a career.

Valerie Mosier
Owner & Trainer
Valerie grew up in Greenville, South Carolina surrounded by family dogs. As an only child, she bonded with her dogs and made friends with dogs, squirrels, and even a chicken or two. When she grew up, her children shared her love of animals and were always bringing home stray dogs and cats. There were also rabbits, turtles, snakes and even a blue tailed skink at one point.
She held a number of customer service related positions for most of her career, including 10 years at a funeral home and 5 years as an over-the-road truck driver where she was able to see all 48 states and most of Canada’s provinces. Working with dogs is like coming full circle for Valerie. She loves that it takes her back to her childhood while allowing her to enjoy working with dogs and their owners. Seeing the delight and pride when someone’s dog overcomes a challenge is incredibly rewarding. When Valerie isn’t working, you can find her enjoying live theatre, crocheting, reading or exploring historical sites and museums.
