What we are About...

Serving Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas, we seek to be the information headquarters in the region for what you need to know about owning and training your dog. Are you a pet owner or soon-to-be pet owner who wants honest answers from a trusted source? Owner and trainer, Audrey DiMarco, RVT, ABCDT, can give you those answers with her extensive knowledge from working in the veterinary field as a registered veterinary technician for over 10 years.

Most recently receiving her dog training certification from the Animal Behavioral College in 2008, she also provides services to set up you and your new puppy for long term success. Acquiring and budgeting for the new addition is only part of the picture. Training the new puppy in its most formative period is equally as important to create a well balanced dog that will fit into the constructs of your existing family.

Studies have shown that pets reduce stress in our lives- BUT that is not true when you are overwhelmed with the care and unruly behavior of a puppy. Knowledge bridges the gap between expectations and reality. We serve as that bridge between the expectations of the pet owner and the reality of owning a puppy so that you can truly enjoy your puppy and make it into the dog you've always dreamed of owning!

Topics to Talk and Train About!

Consultation topics may include but are not limited to:
