Your guide for behavior solutions that work.
Located in Charlotte, NC, Canine Compass Dog Training offers transparent, knowledgeable, and positive training to expertly address your unique concerns using methods that are effective and last a lifetime.
Premium, certified, and insured in-home training by dog behavior experts using positive and effective methods to help you and your best friend.
At Canine Compass Dog Training, we believe that the key to solving behavior challenges is understanding why your dog is doing what they’re doing. When you know the “why,” you can address the root cause—not just the symptoms.
Our team is led by a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM), and Fear Free Certified Professional, ensuring every program is grounded in the most current, science-based, and compassionate methods. While not all of our trainers hold these certifications yet, they are mentored and guided under this expertise to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Our approach draws from applied ethology—the study of animal behavior in natural contexts—and leverages your dog’s own biological systems and environment as training tools. This means we work with your dog’s nature, not against it, helping them thrive in their daily life.
With over 13 years of advanced animal training experience behind our methods, you can feel confident that your dog is receiving effective, modern, and humane training designed to help them become the very best version of themselves.

Our Approach
In-Home Training
Working in the greater Charlotte, NC area (most of Mecklenburg County), we love helping dogs adapt to the environment they actually live in, to work through the problems they face on a daily basis. Being able to look at the whole picture of your dog’s life to effectively “hack” their environment and natural bodily systems gives me a unique advantage when addressing your dog’s unwanted behaviors.

Board & Train
Hybrid Program
Can’t spare the time for weekly lessons at your home? Traveling for a long period of time and want to come home to a better behaved pet? Opt for the Board and Train Hybrid program where your dog can stay with one of our trainers to receive training and socialization on a daily basis, all while staying in a comfortable home environment. Boarding facilities can be stressful and over stimulating, and your pup can regress in their training if you don’t transfer those skills to their own home. Sign up your pup to learn in a comfortable, enriching, and supportive environment, that concludes with a week of in-home training! Learn more about if you should choose a hybrid alternative to board and trains here.
