Our Story
Eastern Canine LLC was established in 2014 by business owner and head trainer, Stefanie Nickerson. In addition to her experience with dogs, Stefanie also has an art degree from Syracuse University which adds a creative and fun edge to her services. Originally named the Coastal Canine Club LLC, Eastern Canine planted it's first roots in the state of Maine. We have since decided to move from New England to sunny North Carolina. We are a bonded and insured business and we are also Canine and Feline First Aid certified. We take great pride in our trust and honesty, our genuine care, as well as our quality and consistency, and we feel good knowing you, the owner, can rest easy knowing your best friend is in good hands.
Here at Eastern Canine we use balanced methods of training to ensure your dog respects, trusts, and understands you. We believe dog training is an art that takes a great deal of experience to truly master. We achieve our goals by considering the view through the eyes of the dog-we communicate to our canine companion in the language he knows best-clarity. With dedication you can experience the euphoria that is dog training at its best-when you and your dog appear to share one mind and can work together to achieve the same task. If you are open-minded, creative, and strong, this is the place for you.
