Hi there! I’m Maddy Long, the proud owner and head trainer at Maddy’s Canine Campus. For several years, I’ve had the joy of training dogs of all breeds and ages, focusing on puppy development, obedience, and behavior modification. Each day, I strive to foster lasting relationships between dogs and their humans.
A True Carolinian
Born and raised in the beautiful Carolinas, I have dedicated my life to understanding and caring for dogs. My journey began as a veterinary technician, where I worked at two fantastic veterinary practices across South and North Carolina. This experience not only deepened my love for animals but provided me with invaluable insights into canine health and wellness. With this background, I’m equipped to offer tailored training approaches that cater to each dog's individual needs.
Finding My Passion
My passion for dog training blossomed while I was working at a breeding program in Charleston, SC. There, I discovered the power of building a strong foundation in puppy obedience and realized how transformative training can be—not just for the dog, but for the entire family. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of helping countless pets and their owners achieve harmony and understanding in their relationships.
Our Mission
At Maddy’s Canine Campus, our mission is to empower you and your dog to thrive together. I firmly believe that understanding what motivates your pet is key to creating a fulfilling companionship. As I work toward my goal of building a private facility, my commitment remains to provide a nurturing environment where dogs can learn, grow, and flourish.
Pursuing Excellence in Training
Education is a lifelong journey for me. I've completed the K9 Institute Service Dog program and have logged thousands of hours in hands-on training. Additionally, as an evaluator for the AKC, I apply my veterinary knowledge to ensure that every dog receives exceptional care and training. My approach is centered around positive reinforcement, a method I’ve seen yield fantastic results over the years.
Let’s Transform Behavior Together!
Are you dealing with unwanted behaviors—like barking, biting, lunging, or pulling? You’re not alone! I offer professional training that guides you and your puppy from the very start, setting the stage for successful obedience and a harmonious household.
At Maddy’s Canine Campus, we treat your furry friend as if they were our own, providing high-quality training in a supportive, fun, and engaging atmosphere. Together, we can work on nurturing a happy, well-adjusted dog who not only listens but also enjoys the learning process!
