Living in New Bern means soaking up everything from riverfront walks to afternoons at Union Point Park. But those moments aren’t as enjoyable when your dog is pulling on the leash, barking at strangers, or ignoring your calls. That’s where AvidDog steps in—we offer practical, professional dog training programs to help your dog become a well-behaved companion who fits right into your lifestyle.
Let’s talk about what you need — book a free consultation today!
New Bern is filled with outdoor spaces, trails, and community events that are more fun when your dog can join you. But without good manners, even a short walk downtown can turn into a headache if your dog pulls on the leash or barks at passing dogs.
At AvidDog, our goal is to help you enjoy every outing without the stress. Training isn’t just about teaching commands—it’s about creating understanding and trust between you and your dog, so you can confidently explore everything New Bern has to offer together.
Puppies are full of energy, curiosity—and plenty of mischief. Our puppy training program helps with housebreaking, crate training, and early socialization, so your puppy develops good habits from the start. Whether it's teaching polite greetings or introducing them to new environments, we’ll set your pup up for a lifetime of good behavior.
Obedience goes beyond “sit” and “stay.” Our focus is on real-world skills—like coming when called, staying calm around distractions, and walking politely on a leash. Whether you’re at Lawson Creek Park or enjoying a neighborhood walk, your dog will learn how to behave in any situation.
If your dog barks too much, reacts aggressively on walks, or struggles with anxiety, we’re here to help. We use gentle, effective techniques to guide your dog toward better habits, building their confidence so they feel more at ease in new situations.
Need fast, reliable results? Our Board and Train program is designed to take the weight off your shoulders. While your dog stays with us, they’ll receive focused, daily training to tackle behavioral challenges and improve overall obedience. This program is perfect for addressing aggression, anxiety, or leash reactivity—and when your dog returns home, you’ll see the results right away.
If your dog needs extra help with specific challenges, we’ll bring the training to you. Our private training sessions are personalized to fit your dog’s needs and your lifestyle. Whether it’s reactivity, leash manners, or separation anxiety, we’ll create practical solutions to address what matters most—so you and your dog can enjoy life together with fewer frustrations.
After completing our Board and Train or Private Lessons, you and your dog can join our exclusive group classes. These sessions offer the perfect environment to practice skills around other dogs and distractions. Your dog will gain valuable socialization, and you’ll have the chance to connect with other pet owners while refining your training techniques.
We know that every dog is different, so we tailor our programs to fit both your dog’s personality and your life. Training with us is about more than behavior—it’s about making life easier and more enjoyable for both of you
