Dog Training and Behavior Programs

PETSinc is proud to offer affordable dog training programs designed to meet the needs of every dog, regardless of age, breed, or background.

Our dog training programs combine proven techniques with compassionate care to deliver lasting results through structured training and personalized canine training approaches.

Our canine training philosophy focuses on positive reinforcement, behavior modification, and balanced methods to help each dog succeed. Every dog training program is customized because no two dogs learn the same way. Through expert canine training, we help dogs build confidence, improve behavior, and thrive both at home and in new environments. Whether your pet needs basic obedience or more advanced support, our canine training programs are designed to create meaningful, long-term change.

Manners Camp Dog Training Program

Our Manners Camp is one of our most popular dog training programs, offering a comprehensive board-and-train experience that blends canine training with safe, structured dog boarding. During this 3-week program, your dog stays with us full-time, receiving consistent, hands-on canine training in a nurturing and supportive environment.

This immersive canine training program is ideal for busy owners, those traveling, or dogs needing focused attention for behavioral challenges. By combining dog boarding with intensive canine training, we eliminate the stress of trying to manage training on your own—delivering results without overwhelming your daily routine.

Throughout this program, dogs learn essential house manners, improve lifestyle and environmental adaptability, and gain confidence through structured dog training sessions. Our experienced trainers use tailored canine training techniques to correct unwanted behaviors while reinforcing positive habits.

When your dog returns home, they bring the benefits of their canine training program with them—making life easier, strengthening your bond, and creating a more enjoyable and rewarding relationship for your entire family.

Wonderful Memories

I remember my husband surprising me and our kids when he pulled into the parking lot of PETSinc. I had no idea we would be adding a new member to our family that day. Turned out to be the best “New Years resolution” I ever made.

Moto grew up to be my husband’s best long distance running partner, my son’s and daughter’s very best friend, and our family’s #1 protector. If he wasn’t out running the critters away, you’d be sure to find him snuggled under the covers! Moto was my heart and soul dog, and my family is so thankful we had a little over 12 years of wonderful memories with him!

A Sweet Lap Cat

I came to PETSinc on a Saturday with my two friends and quickly found there were a bunch of kittens ready for adoption. But then, my friend shouted from across the room, “What about this one?” He was older and bigger, and the only one who had a name tag and characteristics listed on his pen: sweet male kitten, very affectionate, lap cat.

When I took him out of his cage and picked him up, he purred so loud, and that was it. I’m now in Charleston, married, and Oliver just celebrated his 15th birthday. He never stopped being a sweet lap cat like his description read all those years ago. I couldn’t have been more happy I adopted him that day.
