Results and fun—it’s a good combination
Whether you’re after the basics (as in basic good manners!), a deep dive into the harder stuff (recall and loose leash walking, anyone?), or have a particularly excitable pooch who could use some focused impulse control, I’ve got a class for that.
I hope you’ll join me!

Southern Mutt classes are a whole different breed
Small and personalized
When I say small, I mean small. As in every Southern Mutt class is limited to 4 dogs and their people. I want to get to know you and your dog and make sure you’re getting what you need!
Professional instruction
I am an honors graduate of the most respected school in the dog training field. I don’t just love dogs, I understand what makes them tick—and how to use that to get great behavior.
Focused on real-life results
I teach for real-life results beyond the classroom. Because what really matters is your success at home, in your neighborhood, and everywhere you want to be able to take your dog.
Set up for success
Every Southern Mutt class starts with a special session just for humans, to share pro trainer tricks that’ll set you and your dog up for the best results—and a great time getting them, too.

Rinny now comes when called.
Our vet referred us when we rescued a heeler mix in dire need of obedience training. Rinny now comes when called and obeys several commands which we were struggling with prior!
--Rinny’s moms, Cathy & Stephanie Carter
So much better behaved.
Mira is so much better behaved. She automatically goes down on her mat at dinner and stays there, she sits and waits to go out the front door on leash until we say ‘ok’, she sits and goes down on command. And she doesn’t pull on leash!
--Mira’s parents, Christina & Bryan Lopes
He LOVES being groomed now.
Our dog had a lot of anxiety during grooming. He LOVES to be groomed now. We groom him at home and he leaps to the table when he sees the equipment come out.
--Lazio’s dad, Derrall Stavely
