Hampstead offers the perfect blend of coastal living and small-town charm. With access to local beaches, parks, and nature trails, there are endless opportunities to enjoy life with your dog. However, having a dog that listens and behaves in public makes every adventure smoother and more fun. That’s where AvidDog comes in. We offer customized training programs designed to fit Hampstead’s lifestyle, so your dog can thrive in any environment.
Whether it’s strolling through Kiwanis Park, visiting Topsail Beach, or hiking local trails, we make sure your dog is well-prepared to handle every situation. Our goal is to help you build a well-behaved, confident companion who fits seamlessly into your life.

We know that every dog—and every owner—is different. That’s why we customize our training plans to fit your dog’s needs and your goals. Whether you need help with leash manners for neighborhood walks or reactivity control on busy trails, we focus on practical solutions that work where you live and play.
Our training techniques use positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior to create lasting results. Your dog learns through encouragement, which makes the process fun and rewarding for both of you.
With years of experience, our trainers understand the unique challenges of coastal life. From navigating crowded parks and beaches to encountering local wildlife, we ensure your dog learns to stay calm and responsive in any setting.
Get your puppy started on the right paw with our puppy training program. We cover all the essentials—housebreaking, leash walking, and socialization—so your pup grows up to be well-behaved and confident. Whether it’s exploring the trails or visiting Topsail Beach, we make sure your puppy is ready for all kinds of adventures.
Our obedience training focuses on more than just basic commands. We teach your dog to respond reliably in high-distraction environments—whether that’s on the beach, in the park, or downtown. With skills like recall, focus, and impulse control, your dog will behave well no matter where you go.
If your dog shows signs of aggression toward other dogs, people, or wildlife, we’re here to help. Using positive, humane methods, we address the root causes of aggressive behavior and teach your dog to respond calmly in social situations.
Need quick progress? Our Board and Train program is ideal for busy pet owners. While your dog stays with us, they’ll receive daily, structured training to address behavior challenges and sharpen obedience skills. When your dog returns home, they’ll be ready to show off what they’ve learned.
Some dogs need a bit more attention, and that’s where our private lessons come in. These one-on-one sessions focus on the specific behaviors you want to improve—whether it’s reactivity, separation anxiety, or off-leash control.
Living in a place with parks, beaches, and nature trails means dogs encounter all kinds of distractions. Here are a few behavior issues we frequently address:
Leash Reactivity: Passing other dogs or people on local trails can trigger reactivity. We work on keeping your dog calm and focused during walks.
Aggression: Whether it’s directed at other pets, strangers, or wildlife, we help reduce aggressive behavior and encourage positive interactions.
Separation Anxiety: Many dogs struggle when left alone. We teach coping strategies to reduce anxiety and minimize destructive behavior.
Excessive Barking: Dogs often react to unfamiliar noises or passersby. We help train your dog to bark only when appropriate, so your home stays peaceful.
Our goal is to make training a fun and rewarding journey for both you and your dog. Whether it’s mastering obedience or addressing tough behaviors, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
