Our Approach

We coach dog handlers and owners through the entire training process in order to facilitate long-term communication and lasting results. We start with the most current concepts in canine learning theory and add real-world training and handling experience to deliver effective, family-friendly techniques that empower both you and your dog. We take a Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) approach, adhering to the humane hierarchy as adopted by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, and to all position statements by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.

Audrey Ann Low, CPDT-KA

My primary interests lie in training working dogs and enhancing the human-animal bond within all types of human-canine relationships. Since training my first therapy dog in 2004, I have been involved with numerous shelter and rescue organisations, as foster mom, dog walker, and obedience instructor. I am currently operational with Wake Canine SAR.

I recently completed my PhD student in Computer Science at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Before attending NCSU, I received my BSc in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I currently work at SAS in Cary, NC. In my spare time, I enjoy various activities, such as using computers to out-manipulate my cat. 
