What you can expect before, during, and after Training with Us
At CRYSTAL COAST CANINE TRAINING LLC, we will be patient with your dog and will treat him/her with respect. We understand that some dogs are not often away from home and their owners, so we keep that in mind as they transition from your home to training in ours. We will send photos and videos to keep you up to date on your dog's training and experience. You are welcome to reach out for updates at any point, but keep in mind that we are very busy and may not be able to respond right away.
Training with Crystal Coast Canine Training is not a one time transaction, it is a lifetime relationship. Even after your dog has completed training with us we are here to answer any questions and address any issues. We offer remediation training and all clients are encouraged to attend group classes.
Elizabeth
Owner/ Head Trainer
Hello! I am Elizabeth and I am the owner of Crystal Coast Canine Training, LLC. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and then went on to pursing my Bachelor's in Project Management. The driving force for me to become a dog trainer was my first young Belgian Malinois. It was very tough in the beginning, so I sought out help. I have since learned many different approaches to training from some of the brightest minds in dog training and believe that not all dogs or people learn the same way. This belief has encouraged me to have a continuously evolving training program tailored to each and every dog.

How We Train Our Dogs
I want to help the local community and build strong relationships with dog owners. I have an idea of how our neighborhoods and towns could look when pups and owners have a strong bond and line of communication. My goal is to take your stress of dog ownership and reduce it tremendously and help you discover new ways to have fun with your dog.
I pride myself on training your dog where you go; coffee shops, hardware stores, parks, beaches, breweries, restaurants, live music venues, downtown walks, and even on a run. Tell me your expectations for your dog and I will customize the training plan to meet your needs.
Each dog comes from a different background. Breed and age play an important role in how your dog will learn. Where one dog may excel, another may struggle. This is why we conduct in-person evaluations for each client prior to drop off. We ask specific questions about your dog and their environment. If you have children, we may conduct more training around young individuals, whereas, if you do not and you frequent sporting events, training may be focussed around that setting. When we first meet, it is important to share all pertinent information, so we may provide the best customized training for your dog.
How We Raise Our Puppies
All of our dogs are raised in a healthy and loving atmosphere. Each is worked and played with daily and fed high-quality food. We have a young teen and a toddler so every puppy grows up with children and is exposed to different animals and sounds. At the age of two weeks, (once they're standing and have open eyes) the pups are litter box trained and exposed to nervous system training.
Our Process
Once each puppy turns one month old they are introduced to different training environments. Simply put, we will begin placing them in situations they will encounter once they go to their new homes. Car rides, loud noises, bathing, potty training, leash walking, and meal time manners. When you take your pup home we want it to be the least stressful experience possible.
What We Feed Our Pups
From the age of 3 weeks to 6 months we feed Purina Pro Plan Puppy Under 1 Year. This provides the needed nutrients for a growing puppy. This is a higher Protein food for active breeds like Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois.
