Seaside Canine Training, Wilmington, NC (2026)

The other day someone asked if I was still training dogs because they hadn’t seen me post in a while… I was like, “Of course! I’m busier than ever, thankfully!”😅 It definitely made me realize why so many businesses hire someone to run their social media, because it somehow always ends up at the bottom of my to-do list🫣 The good news is we’re out here doing the thing!

On that note, let me introduce you to my buddy, Buddy!! This sweet doodle has been working with me for a few months on leash walking, impulse control, and overall manners. His mom loves taking him on multiple walks a day, often while juggling a stroller, a toddler bike, and snack duty…so she needed Buddy to stay calm, walk nicely beside her, and not react to every dog they pass.

Living in a busy neighborhood means constant distractions, so we’ve been focusing on helping Buddy work through those big feelings and stay tuned in to his mom. With a few simple equipment changes and consistent training, he’s already walking at a better pace and becoming so much more manageable, distractions or not.

I’m so excited to see how much he continues to grow over these next few lessons 🤍🐾

I am so excited to introduce Rosie!😍 Who couldn’t fall in love with a sweet face like that?! That “I just woke up” look is permanent and let me tell you, it is so hard to tell Rosie no when she’s looking up at you with that precious face!

Rosie was rescued by her new mom in January, and they have already made wonderful progress helping her settle into her new lifestyle. It’s clear Rosie didn’t have any formal training prior to her adoption, but she is learning incredibly fast. She’s eager to work and has already picked up on some challenging skills in a short amount of time.

Her mom decided to start formal lessons to help provide mental stimulation during Rosie’s heartworm treatment, knowing her physical activity will need to be limited for now. While this season may be tough on her at times, I cannot wait to see the healthy, strong, and well-trained Rosie that comes out on the other side of these health battles! 🐾🤍

Dash wants to wish everyone a happy Monday!😍

Dash is an 8-year-old Staffy mix who recently started training with me. He has struggled with significant anxiety and nervousness throughout his life, which has resulted in reactivity and some challenging behaviors to manage. His mom has never once given up on finding ways to help him and has continually improved Dash’s environment to best support his needs.

She reached out to me now because she feels he is finally on a regimen that is helping his anxiety, and he’s in a mental place where he can handle more formal training (let’s all applaud his mom for this 👏🏻👏🏻). We know we are never going to get Dash to the point where he loves other dogs and becomes super social, but we can get him to a place where he isn’t losing his marbles when walking past a dog.

Together, we are learning Dash’s body language and triggers so we can help him develop healthier coping mechanisms during these really hard moments. His mom has also been learning new leash handling skills and building the confidence Dash needs to know she won’t let anything happen to him.

They are both making huge improvements and seeing real success, which makes me so proud. I can’t wait to see how far they go! 🐾🤍

Meet Miss Maple! 😍 Her dad reached out to me for help with her training after having some difficulties with the basics and manners. She is almost a year old and living her best princess lifestyle 👑so to say she was a little hesitant about training (rules, boundaries, being told no… blah blah blah) was an understatement.

Maple goes to a lot of doggie daycare, and while that can provide great stimulation, it can also lead to some not so great behaviors at home. We’ve been working on her boundaries and discipline at home because, unfortunately, the backyard is not the doggie daycare yard where you get to roam free for hours and then play “cat and mouse” when dad is trying to get you back inside! 🫠😂

We’ve been focusing on Maple’s basic commands, impulse control, and most importantly…recalls. She is definitely a dog’s dog and feels most comfortable and confident when she’s with another dog or a pack (starting doggie daycare so young likely contributed to this). We’re seeing that she can be a bit vulnerable and unsure when she’s on her own.

The good news? We’re building her confidence through structured, formal training. The more she starts to grasp new skills, the more successful she feels, which then helps her in everyday life.

Yayyyy Maple!!! 🐾🤍

Stating off 2026 strong with new clients, old clients, and dipping my toes in a new training division!👀

As you can imagine the excitement I feel in my soul when I get the privilege to work with a shepherd like this cutie! Please say hi to Banshee😍 This handsome boy started training to work on his basic commands, socialization, and impulse control. Banshee has a great temperament and I love to see how confident he is with new and different things in his environment. What I noticed after working with him for a little was his lack of confidence in himself when learning harder skills. He tends to give up and avoids the command altogether. We are working on building his confidence and increasing his mental endurance to be able to take on harder tasks as he continues to get older. His parents are doing an awesome job practicing their homework and making huge progress towards their goal. Banshee is going to be the best shepherd boy he can be and I am excited to be apart of that process!😍🤍

Biscotti is wishing you a great and happy Thursday morning! I mean do they come much cuter than this sweet face?! Biscotti was adopted by her sweet parents (officially) recently and her mom wanted to ensure she was going to be the best pup she could be! Her mom had done an incredible job taking on the new responsibilities of becoming a dog mom and jumped right into learning how to teach commands. We added a few more basic commands and I helped refined a couple of the ones she already knew. Biscotti is one of the most fun dogs I’ve worked with from her sassy attitude to her analytical thought process. She may be receiving her masters degree in ✨drama✨, but when she understands exactly what you want her to do there is no stopping her! Her sweetness makes up for any challenging moments because come on look at that face! It’s been so much fun watching her grow and learn and help her mom and dad become more confident dog parents. I am truly thankful they trust me to help navigate this process and push Biscotti to be the best girl she can be!🤍🐾

Everyone please meet Meadow!😍 I have had the pleasure of working with Meadow and her parents for the past month. Her parents reached out to me when they realized they needed additionally help managing Meadow’s impulse control, separation anxiety, and excitability. We quickly started working on basic commands, manners, and creating positive associations with the kennel. I quickly learned Meadow struggled with her confidence and struggled in most moments that didn’t communicate clearly expectations. If she got confused, frustrated, or tired she was quickly using her mom and dad as an outlet to release those emotions. We’ve started her on a training path that I feel will be the most beneficial for Meadow and her family but it will still take time and patience for everyone. Realistic goals on a realistic timeline is so extremely important to understand and communicate to all of my clients. Give your dog and yourself grace through the holiday season! Meadow has already come so far since first meeting her and I am excited to continue helping her become a less anxious, go with the flow, loves her kennel kind of doggie!🤍🐾😉

Everyone please say good morning to Colby! Colby started his training with me a month ago (and I am just super delayed in posting all my new dogs, I’m sorry!!) to work on his manners. His parents have had a hard time getting his under control during greetings while people are coming inside their home, his late evening zoomies (which have resulted in a lot of mouthiness), and his leash walking skills. We have worked very hard for the past several weeks and we have seen a huge improvement in all the needed areas!! Colby and her parents will be heading back to their home state of Pennsylvania next week until returning to Wilmington after the new year. I have sent them off with a solid foundation of training and expectations, so we will see how Colby does transferring this new information in PA. We will continue training if needed when they return. I am so proud of Colby and all he has learned in such a short amount of time!!🐾🤍

Please say good morning to Tini (short for Martini🍸)! This sweet girl is started her training with me several weeks ago and has made so much progress already. Her and her mom have been working on conquering Tini’s basic commands and manners. We’ve overcome potty training, kennel training, and started learning how to walk nicely on a leash. Tini lives in an apartment which can be one of the hardest environments to raise a puppy. We have worked on keeping her alert barking to a minimum so as she gets older it doesn’t become more of an issue for neighbors. Tini and her mom have come a long way since we started working together and I am excited to help them continue to make great progress!🤍🐾

Ugh I can’t handle the cuteness! Fiona is a 14 week old Coton de Tulear poodle mix and she is the sweetest, softest little cotton ball ever. Her parents want her to be the best doggie she can be, so they were proactive in reaching out to me when she was just 10 weeks old to get the ball rolling with training. We’ve been working for the past several weeks on manners, kennel training, commands, and more. Fiona loves to new learn new commands and skills! She blew me away with how engaged she was during our first lesson. She has two of the best parents who make sure they are completing their homework each week and trusting me with the process. We’ve seen so much growth in this sweet girl in such a short amount of time. I am so excited to help her with her training as she continues to grow!🤍🐾

Happy Friday everyone from Bingo!🤪 This sweet boy has been doing a board and train for the past week working on so many skills. Bingo is a very nervous dog who unfortunately has had a couple bad interactions with other dogs in the time his new family has had him. This has resulted in anxious reactivity with other (big) dogs and people if his stress level is too high. This past week, we’ve worked on learning commands, stress coping skills, desensitization to pretty much everything, and appropriate greeting skills. The progress he has made is truly astonishing! It reiterates sometimes a dog just needs trust in the human. Dogs like Bingo thrive with consistency and boundaries, which ultimately lowers his anxiety because he knows he is safe with that human. With the appropriate training tools and clear communication, we have been able to walk by other dogs without any lunging, growling, or barking. He even was running and playing with my three shepherds by the end of the week! I am excited for Bingo’s family to see all the progress Bingo has made and him living a less anxious life!🐾🤍
