Life in Morehead City is all about enjoying the outdoors—whether it’s taking a walk along the waterfront or heading to the beach for a relaxing day. But it’s tough to enjoy those moments if your dog pulls on the leash, barks at other dogs, or ignores your commands when it counts. At AvidDog, we offer practical, personalized training that fits into your life, helping you enjoy every adventure with your dog by your side.

From the Crystal Coast beaches to community parks, Morehead City is packed with places to explore. But if your dog pulls, jumps, or acts up in public, those outings can become more of a hassle than fun. With the right training, every walk or trip to the park can be smooth and enjoyable.
We focus on teaching your dog practical skills that work in real-world situations, whether you’re at the waterfront, in the neighborhood, or at a local event. More than just teaching commands, our training is about building trust and communication so you and your dog can explore with confidence.
Puppies are curious, energetic, and sometimes overwhelming. Our puppy training program helps with the essentials, like housebreaking, leash manners, and socialization, so your puppy learns good habits from the start. We’ll help your pup build the confidence to navigate new environments, like beach outings or park visits, without stress.
Our obedience training is designed to prepare your dog for real-life situations—not just teaching “sit” and “stay,” but making sure they listen in busy environments. Whether you’re walking downtown or enjoying a day at the park, your dog will learn how to stay calm, focused, and well-mannered.
If your dog barks excessively, struggles with anxiety, or shows leash reactivity, we’re here to help. Our behavior modification program focuses on replacing those unwanted behaviors with better ones, so your dog feels more balanced and relaxed in different situations.
If you’re short on time or need quick results, our Board and Train program is a great fit. Your dog stays with us for focused daily training, working on problem behaviors and improving obedience. This program is especially useful for dogs with anxiety, aggression, or social challenges. When your dog comes home, they’ll be ready to show off their new skills and behavior.
Some challenges require a little more focus. Our private training sessions offer one-on-one attention, giving us the chance to work directly on the issues that matter most to you and your dog. Whether it’s leash pulling, reactivity, or something else, we’ll create a plan that fits your lifestyle and help you see progress in ways that feel manageable and realistic.
After completing Board and Train or Private Lessons, you’ll get access to our group classes. These sessions offer a chance to practice skills around distractions while helping your dog socialize with other pets. You’ll also connect with other dog owners and fine-tune your training techniques in a friendly, supportive environment.
We know that every dog—and every family—is different. That’s why we design programs that fit both your goals and your dog’s personality. Training with us isn’t just about results—it’s about making life easier and more enjoyable for you and your pet.
