About Southern Canine Dog Training

Southern Canine Dog Training publishes the most complete price list in this metro and the least geography: the site names no town and no street address, only "Office- (931)398-8348" and a cell number. The 931 area code and the Google coordinate both point into south-central Middle Tennessee, which is why the record sits with Columbia – but the town itself is unresolved, and it is flagged rather than guessed.

How they describe the method

"Here at Southern Canine, we believe successful training comes from balance, clear communication, and building lasting relationships." The site also says its trainers "use science-based/balanced training techniques that have been proven to be effective in modifying dog behavior" and "use positive reinforcement techniques to teach dogs new skills and correct unwanted behaviors" – balanced and reinforcement-based in the same breath, which is how the business itself frames it.

In-home packages

Four in-home options are priced on the page. The Puppy Package is four one-hour in-home sessions at $550 and "focuses on setting boundaries at a young age for your new pup." Standard Obedience is six in-home sessions plus two in public. A Tune Up covers single complaints – recall, barking, jumping on people, leash pulling. Advanced Obedience is the behavior tier: "This package is for Behavior Modification, Reactivity and Aggression towards other dogs/humans, or if you are looking for something special".

Board and train

Four residential programs are published with prices, from a three-week Puppy Starter and a two-week On-Leash Obedience up to a three-week Off-Leash Obedience program and a "3/4 week customized Board and Train" for behavior modification, which the site says is "designed for dogs struggling with more serious behavioral challenges." Every residential program ends with a handover: "All Board and Trains give you a complimentary go-home session, allowing us to go over your pups new commands and training tools." The first step costs nothing: the site offers a free evaluation, "No Pressure or commitments we are happy to help wherever we can!
