About The Pack Canine Studio

What they do

The Pack Canine Studio sits at 201 Longview Plaza Driveway on Saint Simons Island and runs day play, boarding, training and pet styling from the one site. Training is sold two ways: individual sessions and packages at the studio itself, and in-board programs delivered through Altamaha Canine Consulting, which the studio's own training page names as its sister company. That means an owner can start with lessons locally and step up to a residential program without changing trainer.

Method

The training page argues the case for formal training in terms of the household rather than obedience for its own sake: dog training based on positive reinforcement helps owners understand how dogs think, learn and communicate, and dogs are described as most settled when the boundaries and the decision-making are clear. It asks that every family member agree which behaviors are acceptable and reinforce them the same way, and it is explicit that training time should be enjoyable rather than solemn.

Setting

The studio describes itself as a second home rather than a drop-off – "you aren't just dropping off your dog, you are dropping off a family member" – with the team trained across every part of the day. The owner is named on the site as Jacob Weaver.
