About Perfect Pet Dog Training

Perfect Pet Dog Training, LLC provides professional, customized training programs for all dog breeds while strengthening the bond between families and their pets. We offer private lessons, day training and behavior modification training in Gaston County and York County. We also offer group classes, daycare and other programs at our facility in Gastonia.

We like to begin our program for each new dog with a phone call, so we can discuss your needs. We will then follow up with a visit so we can evaluate your dog in person. During this evaluation, we will also meet with you to develop the most appropriate training program for you and your dog. We utilize positive reinforcement training methods in all of our programs. The evaluation is $25, and we have had fantastic results with our personalized programs.
