People-first dog training in Greenville, SC.
Because real change starts with the human.
Your dog trains with our team all day on our 6-acre campus in Simpsonville. You get a private lesson at every pickup. Together, we build a dog you can take anywhere and the confidence to keep it that way.
Meet the dog that started it all.
Every Complete K-9 story starts with a dog and a family who needed help. Ours did too. Watch how it all began, and why we've trained people first ever since.

Most trainers train the dog. We train you, too.
Training a dog is the easy part. Giving owners the knowledge and skills to handle real life is where we shine. The #1 thing our clients tell us they want is someone who will help them understand their dog and show them what to do.
That's why we never recommend a plan until we've met your dog, and why every training day ends with a private lesson for you. No judgment, no one-size-fits-all programs, and no question too small.

Ask our families what they wanted from training and most describe a life, not a command: their dog along for the patio dinner, the walk downtown, the hike, the trip to the lake.
- Loose-leash walks, even past distractions
- Calm when guests come over
- Settles on a patio or at a brewery
- Comes when called
- Safe and easy for the kids or grandkids

What Greenville dog owners say
"What impressed me just as much was how much time they spent teaching me how to properly handle her."
"Each week she had the same trainer which developed the bond and trust between them. I appreciate the patience of the staff in answering questions."
"I can walk down the street with my baby in a stroller, stress-free!"

Experience and trustworthiness matter most when you choose a trainer. Our owner, Coretta, has dedicated her life to this, and our team has been changing lives for dogs and their people since 2018.
Many of our families find us through a friend, a vet, or our reviews. We'd love for you to be next.

What areas do you serve?
Our campus is in Simpsonville, and we train dogs from across the Upstate, including Greenville, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Greer, Mauldin and Five Forks.
Do you guarantee your training?
Yes. When you train with us, you become part of our team. We guarantee we'll keep helping you with your dog until you're satisfied. In return, we ask that you're all in: committed and consistent at home.
What training methods do you use?
We're balanced trainers, which means we're educated in every method and tailor training to each dog. Very often, two dogs from the same home are trained differently. And we aren't just training your dog. We train you, too.
Where do you train?
Most training happens on our 6-acre campus in Simpsonville, set up like an old-school summer camp, with real-world field trips around Greenville before graduation.
Do you offer boarding or daycare?
Yes, for dogs who have completed our training. It's a perk that keeps their skills sharp. See boarding & daycare.
Do you train personal protection dogs?
No. We don't currently offer protection training for pet owners.
Do you train service dogs?
We take psychiatric service dog candidates case by case, based on things like the dog's age, lineage and temperament, and the owner's needs. We don't take on medical service dog cases. A free evaluation is the best place to start.
