About South Carolina K9 Academy

What they offer

South Carolina K9 Academy lists behavioral problems, obedience, puppy training, personal protection dog training and therapy dog training. The About page says all sessions take place at the client's home or at a neutral location, and describes the academy as a one-stop shop for dogs with dysfunctional behavior or mood-related issues.

How it starts

The Training page offers a free consultation in which the trainer sits down with you to go over your dog's specific issues and goals, gives a detailed estimate, and shows you with your own dog, in real time, how his '5 Secrets of Dog Training' can produce a calmer, more controlled dog. It stresses that each dog is unique in drive, temperament and work ethic.

Experience

The About page says the trainer has provided K-9 training in Columbia and surrounding counties since 2009 and has conducted hundreds of sessions. A client testimonial on the home page names the trainer as Geoff.
