Professional and certified canine trainer and breeder of working line german shepherds. Specific focus on Puppy board and train or puppy bootcamps. I enjoy working with smaller younger pups these days so I have migrated my training over to primarily puppies or dogs needing general pet obedience.

Juno is almost 3 years old and could not be more loved. Not only do we adore our pup, we have deep appreciation for Audrey’s steadfast dedication to the dogs she breeds and their humans. She has been available for questions and instruction whenever I have reached out. She has even stepped in and provided boarding at times when needed. We appreciate the her dedication and loyalty to being an ongoing resource to her dogs (and us humans that live them so much)!

I have worked with Elizabeth for three years now. I started with two of my dogs in Barn Hunt. As I got each new dog(now totaling 5) Elizabeth has helped bring out the best in them all. She has helped me start two puppies in Barn Hunt and Scentwork , two oldsters unlearning new skills- my 14 year old Toller got high in class at the 2018 Toller Specialty in Barn Hunt. She has helped with Harper and Nathan’s Dock Diving skills too. I am in awe of her patience and always learning new and better ways to help her students I would highly recommend her to any serious competitor or just someone who wants to have fun with their dog- she puts a little fun and a lot of information in every lesson!

I have earned 3 carting titles, multiple rally and obedience titles on my grand champion rotties training with Wendy. We also have practiced at conformation drop in when they were showing in breed. The grand champion whippets also have done conformation here. Love the outside activities we do as dog community.

Jess, helped me right way. I called her desperate for help with my wild 12 week old Porkie. Jess came over to my house the very next day, on time and my Finn learned right way!!! My family and my puppy loves her. Jess even helped our dog’s sister, my son actually owns her. Our puppies were fighting back and fourth and Jess calmed them both down right away. Jess has been a Blessing to us and there is a Big difference in one hour of training. We are lifetime customers....

I teach you to train your dog as it doesn't matter if your dog will listen to me - they aren't going to live with me. No prong or shock collars are used. I teach you to communicate with your dog in a way they understand. I teach you to "speak dog." Aggression (towards family members, strangers or other dogs) Barking Biting Charging the front door Housebreaking Inattentiveness (won’t listen)

Can't speak highly enough of Tommy Meyerhoeffer! After one in-person session, and a few follow-up check-ins, our cute GSD mix Penny is so much calmer and actually listens to me for a change! Penny lived on the streets for a bit before we adopted her - she is very sweet and affectionate but also very stubborn, and a scavenger on walks, grabbing any bit of food off the sidewalk and lunging at squirrels. She also hated our living room television and would act up in the weirdest ways when it was on -- jumping up on counters and the nightstands in our bedroom, knocking lamps and anything else in the way of her 83-pound body to the ground. Tommy taught us how to address these disruptive behaviors with patience and kindness (trust me, yelling does not work!). We practice every day, and our lovely girl has evolved into a happier, sweeter pup and the chaos at home and on walks has virtually stopped. Tommy's love for all animals is undeniable which makes working with him all the more special. You know he truly cares and wants the best for your dog and for you! I highly recommend Tommy to anyone who wants to address behavioral issues with their dog.
I have been working with dogs in some capacity for over 16 years and for the last 4 years, i've been helping clients understand and train their dogs to go from good to great! I'm a Balanced Training and am capable of teaching puppy foundational skills and obedience, to modifying an aggressive dog's behavior to be a good canine citizen again, and everything in between. It’s a true passion of mine to help people learn what their dog's needs are and to help exercise, care for, train them.

Steve was great with our cat Ocho. He was extremely responsive when we reached out with a last minute request for the holidays. He sent us updates and pictures with each visit, and also had a detailed report waiting for us upon our return home. He even checked in to make sure we had returned on schedule in case he needed to provide any additional care to Ocho. Extremely reasonable pricing as well!

When I researched trainers in the Charlottesville area, I did not truly envision the impact professional training would have on my family. After speaking with various trainers, I decided Atlantic Coast K-9 Training Services was the best fit due to their methodology, knowledge-base, reputation, and price.
People regularly stop me to comment on my 2 year old pup Rue's exceptional behavior. She went from wildly energetic, zooming about, jumping on strangers, to incredibly attentive, focusing on every command and tuning out distractions in chaotic situations. Words cannot express my gratitude for Ralph's training, so please, even if you don't think you *need* training for your dog, just take a look at what Atlantic Coast has to offer.
I'm happy to talk about my experience, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Todd is great, He has done tremendous work with my 2 dogs(Malinois and German Shepherd). He has also taught me alot of stuff I never knew or things I was doing wrong. I was always your typical do it yourself at home trainer. Never had bad dogs but never great obedience wise and I am very glad I chose to go with Todd because I have already achieved things I have never been able to in the past.

When we first got our puppy, he started developing aggressive behavior. It was difficult for us to pet him especially on his head without him nipping. We are so happy we decided to go with Scott for his training and have seen dramatic improvement! If you are looking for a trainer you will see results with by putting in the work, you are in the right place and would recommend Scott to anyone.

John truly goes above and beyond for his clients! My roommate hired him to help train her dog to stop using the bathroom inside. Not only did he give her expert help and guidance, but he also made a point to reach out to all of us roommates and explain what he had taught him, so that we could all stay consistent with his training and truly get the best results possible. He really does care about your pets like they are his own, and he makes the training process so much fun! I cannot recommend his services enough.
Loyalty is always here to help even after training is complete. I believe in lasting relationships, and love seeing the dogs progress so they can do more with their owners.

Jerrid Cutter changed our dog and we can't be more thankful. Marlow is a rescue Great Pyrenees that had quite a few issues when we adopted him just before his 1st birthday. He improved some over the next year, but he (and we) still needed guidance. Without the training/instruction provided by Jerrid, our home would be in complete disarray. Not only did he teach basic commands, but he is helping with Marlow's anxieties/fears.
Thank you for helping our big boy and for guiding us with continuing to improve his life. We are all feeling so much better!
We have another of our furry family coming to you soon!
