At Colonial Canine LLC we like to always start by meeting with you and your dog to learn more about your specific situation and what is needed. To do this we offer a free consultation with our trainer to establish a plan that works best for your dogs individual needs.

To book a training consultation or session:
please e-mail a copy of our training request form (below) to colonialcaninellc@gmail.com
or call/text 757-407-3672
Training sessions are catered specifically to each dog. We do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to dog training. All training is done on a one-on-one basis and conditioned to fit your dog individually.
Group class options: AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Classes for beginners and Canine Good Citizen prep classes for more advanced training.

Private Training
$60 per hour
Every dog is different, and that's why our private training sessions are tailored to your dog's individual needs, goals, and personality.
Our trainer can meet you in the comfort of your home or at a location that best fits what your dog is working on. Whether it's basic manners, leash skills, confidence building, reactivity, or learning to navigate real-world situations, we'll create a training plan designed specifically for you and your pup.
We're proud to serve much of Northeastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia from our home base in Elizabeth City, NC.

🐾 Train & Play
Daycare's Favorite Upgrade!

What if your dog could spend the day hanging out with friends and sneak in a private lesson with a trainer?
That's exactly what Train & Play is all about!
This exciting daycare add-on gives your pup all the fun, socialization, and enrichment of a normal daycare day, plus a dedicated one-hour field trip with our trainer. During their adventure, we'll work on practical, real-world skills that help dogs become more confident, polite, and successful companions.

🐾 Loose-leash walking and polite public manners
🐾 Greeting new people calmly and confidently
🐾 Staying focused around distractions
🐾 Building confidence in new environments
🐾 Practicing obedience where it matters most... in the real world!
Whether we're exploring a local park, visiting a pet-friendly store, or working through everyday challenges, your dog gets valuable one-on-one coaching tailored to their needs.
The Best of Both Worlds

At the end of the day, your dog goes home happy, tired, and a little smarter than when they arrived.
Is Train & Play Right for My Dog?
Train & Play is designed for friendly dogs who are ready to build skills and confidence in public settings.
This program is not appropriate for dogs displaying aggression, severe anxiety, or dogs requiring intensive behavior modification. Those pups often benefit from a more customized training approach, and we're happy to help determine the best path forward.
Not sure where your dog fits? Reach out! We'd love to chat about your goals and help find the perfect training option for your pup. 🐶
All training requires a free consultation prior to beginning the training process. All board & trains require a consultation; plan of action and training agreement signed prior to beginning training. Price may increase for severe aggression or dogs over 100lbs.
