Southcoast Dog Training & Care, Inc.

Sandy and her staff are absolutely amazing. I brought my black lab to Sandy for his puppy training and level 1 obedience. I love that before we could even sign up for a training class Sandy met with us one on one and took her time understanding exactly what we needed from the class. From there, she was able to direct me to the best class for us. If Sandy’s not teaching the particular class you’re in, she checks in to see if you’re getting what you need from the class. My lab had issues with reactiveness and protectiveness once I got pregnant and Sandy worked with us even after the training session had ended to make sure I would be confident taking him out in public. You can really see how passionate Sandy is about dogs and I’m not just talking about how cute they are. She’s passionate abo

My Aussie Niko and I have enjoyed a number of classes at Southcoast Dog Training & Care. The classes are generously staffed so that everyone gets individual attention while we practice new skills. Patti and Sandy are able to cue into the individual needs and personality traits of each puppy or dog and guide the owner accordingly. Niko has matured beautifully. He loves the classes so much that we are "frequent flyers" and have taken puppy class, obedience, agility combined with obedience, tricks, and nose work. I highly recommend these trainers - certified by the AKC and able to train for service work as well as "Canine Good Citizens."

We cannot say enough good things about Southcoast Dog Training and Care! Sandy and Patti are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly understand dogs. As first time dog owners, we started coming here just after adopting our rescue puppy at 4 months old. Watching him become more confident, dog neutral, and well behaved has been a great transformation and training has been fun for both us and our dog. I would recommend Southcoast Dog Training to anyone looking for outstanding dog training.

We had an amazing experience at south coast dog training! Sandy, Patti, and Amanda are extremely knowledgeable as well as personable, and really made the environment both welcoming and informative. There were some things our pup struggled with more than others, and someone was always available to work 1:1 with her in the group class, trying different things to get to the same end goal. The price was completely reasonable for what we received, and our hyper girl was noticeably more obedient and accepting of commands after just the first class. I’m sure we will be back for more classes, I cannot recommend south coast enough!!

I’ve been doing dog training here for two summers now with my miniature poodle Mojo. I have done a lot of dog training In the area with a number of different places, and Southcoast Dog Training is by far the best. Mojo and I have done basic and level two Obedience, Obility, (Which is the most fun Mojo and I have had together), Add most recently the tricks class – – Mojo got his AKC novice tricks. What makes Southcoast better than the rest Is the extra effort they put in with your dog if you’re struggling to teach a behavior. I have to say that Patty in particular is the most patient trainer I have encountered — I never believed that I could ever get my mojo to play dead in the tricks class, but Patty sat on the floor with him and quietly and gently worked with him — repeating over and
