About Third Coast Canine Academy

What it is

"Located in Charlevoix, MI, Third Coast Canine Academy provides exceptional dog training services to Northern Michigan and its surrounding areas." Both training and boarding are offered.

How lessons are run

Privately, and the site gives its reasoning: "All our dog training lessons are private and individualized to better meet you and your dog's needs. We find it is important for both the trainer and owner to have ample time for questions and explanation. It is also a well-known fact, that not all humans nor dogs learn in the same fashion. We want to be there by your side and support you as both you and your dog thrive."

The stated mission

"Our mission is to help you build a great relationship with your dog, while helping you reach your goals."

What a client describes

The site's featured review is from a board-and-train client and names the trainer: "Lauren worked wonders with our one year old silver lab. When she came home from her 30 day board and train Nova had learned and matured so much. We can now enjoy her in our lives and she's a calm(er), confident member of the family. Nova loves Lauren so much, which is a huge testament to how Third Coast Canine is run. We are so thankful to have worked with Lauren." – G. Robertson, Petoskey, MI.
