About Asheville Dog Company

I LOVE DOGS!

At The Asheville Dog Company, training isn’t just a profession—it’s a lifelong passion. Founded by a Cornell University graduate with a degree in Animal Sciences, our training methods combine scientific understanding with real-world experience to help dogs and their families thrive.

For more than 15 years, we’ve worked with hundreds of Asheville-area families, providing personalized training programs that build stronger communication, trust, and respect between owner and dog. Whether you’re struggling with behavioral challenges or simply want a well-mannered companion, our positive, results-driven approach makes learning fun for both ends of the leash.

Our lead trainer continues to advance their skills through ongoing education and active competition with their German Shepherds in the sport of IGP (formerly Schutzhund)—one of the most challenging tests of obedience, protection, and teamwork. This dedication to mastery ensures every client receives professional, compassionate guidance rooted in deep canine understanding.

From basic obedience and puppy training to advanced behavior modification, The Asheville Dog Company is here to help you and your dog live your best life together—right here in Asheville, NC.
