About Hole In the Wall Dog Training

Hole in the Wall Dog Training Academy runs group classes and private lessons from its own 1,500 square foot climate-controlled facility at 117A Turners Dairy Road in Morehead City, with some classes held outside in the parking lot.

Stated method

They are explicit about it on their own site: "All of our courses are taught with marker training and positive reinforcement techniques", and "Hole in the Wall Dog Training Academy advocates only force free methods of dog training." They add that small class sizes let handlers learn with minimal distractions and that attention is given to individual needs.

The class list

Their published course set runs Puppy Start Right (a must-do class for puppies 10-14 weeks), an Ongoing / After Basics course, Doggie Manners for life and social skills, Pee Wee for dogs under 15 lb, Advanced, Stroll in the Park for outdoor manners and street crossings, a Kids Camp, Therapy Dog and an advanced Therapy course, Service Dog training, Scent Work, Rally, Freestyle and Agility from novice to advanced, and Tricks aimed at trick certification.
