The Dog Door

We've been proud to provide effective and compassionate behavioral training for Asheville’s dogs since 2001. https://pocketsuite.io/link/canine-cohesion

Our love for dogs and their happiness led us to open our behavioral center in 2008. Having previously studied Applied Ethology (which examines the relationships between animals and humans), our owner has the knowledge and experience to get your canine companion feeling confident, happy, and ready to interact with the world. Using problem-solving skills and behavioral techniques, our instruction is

scientific and proven to help your pet perform in a variety of situations. Whether your furry friend needs obedience training or your puppy is just learning to interact with his peers, you can trust our passionate team to get your four-legged friend up to speed on the dog lingo of the day.

To commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the storm that changed our area forever, Canine Cohesion will be donating all profits over the next month to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Asheville, NC - this includes your group class fees!

Since their founding, Brother Wolf has sheltered and supported over 100,000 animals. In September of 2024, Hurricane Helene brought never before seen floodwaters and widespread damage. Brother Wolf faced the unfathomable during the storm - their entire shelter & everything inside was tragically lost in the floodwaters. Thankfully, all dogs were safely evacuated just before the flood waters reached the facility. But now they need our help to rebuild & continue the incredible, life-saving, work they do for the dogs of Western North Carolina.

It can be concerning and stressful when your dog won’t stop barking when a guest enters your home.

We always want to consider multiple factors when addressing and changing a dog’s behavior. We take a holistic approach, looking at the dog’s genetics, learning history, environment, age, health and more!

Need help coming up with a plan to change your dog’s behavior?

Let’s work together!

Have you ever wondered if your dog would enjoy bringing smiles to others as a therapy dog?

Therapy dogs are social and enjoy meeting people (even those who are unfamiliar).

With therapy dog candidates, we work on confidence building in new settings and around new people.

We can set up realistic scenarios to help you and your dog prepare for their AKC Canine Good Citizen test and their Therapy test through Alliance of Therapy Dogs!

We will also work on basic manners and politely greeting people. We can even help you train tasks such as fun tricks or a chin rest behavior which are great skills for a dog to know in a therapy setting.

If you have adopted a dog from a shelter or rescue Canine Cohesion has a high level understanding of where they have been and how to help them acclimate to their new home. Please reach out to learn how we can help you!!

Our Director, Angie Cook, has been touring the southwest with Kim Brophey, Founder of Family Dog Mediation, focusing on shelter dogs and their total welfare.

First stop was National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) where they experienced the amazing program that’s been developed taking shelter dogs that are “too much” for the modern home but perfect for search and rescue work and turning them into national hero’s. 27 SDF dogs responded in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene saving countless lives.

The next stop was Humane World for Animal’s Animal Care Expo in Las Vegas where they met hundreds of people from all walks of animal welfare to promote Family Dog Mediation and bring greater awareness to the total welfare of all dogs.
