Why Choose AweDogs Dog Training

The Best Dog Training in Mooresville

AweDogs Dog Training provides you with comprehensive dog obedience training in Mooresville and the surrounding Lake Norman Area.

Our approach is different from other dog training companies. Our professional dog trainers are equipped with the latest training strategies and our training programs are designed not only to create happy, confident, fun dogs, but to also prove that the behaviors created work against the most severe distractions. We offer training for all levels and breeds, from minor dog obedience issues to severe aggressive behaviors.

This unique and gentle approach to dog training allows us to start training puppies as early as 8 weeks old and progress them quickly. Unlike traditional training programs, we concentrate on teaching dogs a system of learning rather than a few basic commands. Once the foundation of learning is established, they can begin to figure out any new behavior in a matter of a few minutes.

Our Mooresville dog trainers are here to make your life easier by teaching positivity and confidence!

I have a dog training business in California. I flew out to North Carolina from California to learn from Ryan as part of a personal continuing education program. Ryan is an amazing trainer of dogs and a teacher of people! So much so, that it is difficult to form the words to describe him. Ryan’s passion for dogs and his commitment to helping people is overwhelming. I think one would be hard pressed to find a better trainer in this entire country.
Ryan is charming, witty and fun!! His style makes training with him not only the most informative education opportunity for his clients, but a blast to be a part of. I look forward to the day that I can spend time learning from him again!
