Our training philosophy is simple. We recognize every dog and handler team to be unique. Our training is designed to address these diversities.

We are a premiere training facility in the southeast located at 230 W. Seawell Street in Sanford, NC. Our facility is easy to access from Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Greensboro with Highway US 1 and Highways 87 & 421 going right through Sanford. Our facility is an NC DHR Licensed Dog Boarding Kennel which is run not only to meet the needs of our training clients, but is now open to all dogs for boarding. In addition our training school has our Proprietary School License through the North Carolina Community College System.

Kennel technicians are responsible for the day-to-day care of pet dogs as well as working dogs. This includes but is not limited to feeding, watering, cleaning, walking, bathing, and monitoring the well-being of the dogs at the facility. You will also be required to have sufficient physical strength, mobility, and stamina to lift and/or move heavy dogs and objects and the dexterity and confidence to administer medications. As a kennel tech, you will be expected to pay close attention to a dog's status such as signs of stress and changes in eating or elimination habits.
