Update
To Our Beloved Clients,

What a crazy time we are in! None of us could have anticipated we would have experienced such a catastrophic event. Many of us are still reeling from the aftermath of the storm, whether displaced or hunkering down in Asheville with its limited resources. Thank you to the many of you who have reached out to check on us and let us know you are ok. We are so grateful that all of our staff members are accounted for and that it seems we all walked away with minimal damage to our homes and health. We deeply hope the same is true for you. We also hope that whatever upheaval you may have had has not had a huge impact on your dogs and that they are all fairing well.

As we get some of the necessities back and start to settle into our new “normal” the Canine Cohesion Leadership team has been able to start preliminary conversations about where we stand business-wise. In the next few weeks we will continue to meet and develop strategies to carry us through this time. This is what we know:
1. We understand fully that many of you are still trying to meet basic needs and dog training is probably the furthest thing from your mind. We have just had enough people reach out, we felt we should check in with our client base.
2. We still have pretty limited ability for effective communication on a regular basis with the company owner, Desiree. She has little to no cell service at home or at Fairview.
3. Fairview Happy Tails has no power, water or internet. Cane Creek Road toward Hendersonville Rd was completely washed out and travel is still precarious in some parts of Asheville. Canine Cohesion Facility had flooding in the crawlspace, but no other structural damage, but has no water or internet. Happy Tails West has power and internet, but no water. At this point we have decided that both Happy Tails locations and Canine Cohesion will be closed until water is restored and it is safe. If there are any clients in Asheville who need Behavior help, we will see them virtually if that is possible. There will be no in-person appointments in Asheville until it is safe. However, during Covid we learned how to navigate the virtual arena with behavior cases and had great success. We know many of our clients will want to do in-person appointments and we assure you that once it is safe and our staff is ready, we will be able to provide this service, but in the meantime we are confident we can provide the same level of care and service virtually. You can also opt to work with a member of our Greenville team in-person in Greenville if you would like to travel down.
4. Greenville, while greatly impacted by the storm, had nowhere near the devastation Asheville did and will be able to resume normal operations. Specifically we will be offering Board and Trains, Behavior Assistance and Group Classes. Please visit the website if you are interested.

Please know that we think of you and hope you and your family (two and four legged) are well.

We miss working with you and hope to see you soon!

Our hearts are with all of those affected by this major storm.

We currently are without power and internet at both facilities in Greenville and Asheville. Please check your email for rescheduling instructions for any training sessions or classes that you had scheduled this weekend.

Due to flooding and closed roads, it is safest that we reschedule most sessions and will keep you posted as to when we can resume normal operations.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

It is not always a training issue!

A dog’s physical health is linked to their behavior.

Looking into physical issues that impact behavior is critical to your dog’s success. Physical pain can increase stress, anxiety, frustration and lead to things like aggression, resource guarding, reactivity, and many other sensitivities!

Ask questions and reach out for support if needed!

We love that we get to work so closely with Dr. Hilliard of to help support families and their dogs through behavior issues!
