Dogs That Listen.
Owners That Lead.
Professional dog and puppy training across Myrtle Beach and Horry County. Real behavior change, built around your dog and your home. In-home and mobile while we finish our new training facility.
From dogs other trainers wrote off to puppies you want to raise right the first time. Every program starts with a free consultation so we build the plan around your dog, not a template.
We take your dog, do the heavy lifting on obedience and behavior, and hand back a dog ready to live in your home. Owner transfer included.

On and off-leash obedience built for the real world. Heel, place, recall, and the calm focus that makes everything else easier.

Foundations done early prevent every problem you do not want to deal with later. Socialization, manners, leash, and structure before bad habits set in.
Get detailsWe do not sell you a philosophy. We sell you a dog you can live with, in public, around guests, off leash. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Restaurants, sidewalks, hardware stores, the boardwalk. Your dog can be there with you and stay neutral.
No more wrestling. Loose-leash walking that holds up around other dogs, joggers, and distractions.
Recall that works when it matters. Freedom for your dog, peace of mind for you.
You leave knowing how to maintain everything we built. Lifetime support, not a black box.
The dog you see in training is the dog you keep at home. We build habits that survive the front door.
We work the cases other trainers will not touch. If your dog has been labeled the problem, we want to talk.

"He didn't just train the dogs -- he taught me how to communicate with them in a way they understand. Aaron Hans is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. The transformation has been amazing."
"After just two weeks in the puppy program, the transformation has been incredible. Zach's patience, knowledge, and passion for dog training really stood out from day one. I highly recommend this puppy training program."
"Our very stubborn Shiba came home with obedience. Zach came out the next morning to help with a resolution. If you are looking for very personable trainers who treat their dogs like their own, I highly recommend MLK9."

Most board and train programs run two to four weeks depending on the dog and what we are working on. Every dog goes home with a structured owner-transfer session so the work survives the trip back home.
We are operating in-home and mobile across Myrtle Beach, the Grand Strand, and Horry County while our new training facility comes online. Most clients prefer this anyway because real behavior change happens where your dog actually lives.
Cost depends on the program and what your dog needs. We give you a real number after a free consultation, not a generic price-sheet figure. No high-pressure sales calls.
For consultations, just your dog, current leash and collar, and a clear sense of what is and is not working at home. We bring the rest. For board and train pickups we send a packing list ahead of time.
Yes. Behavior modification is core to what we do. If your dog has been labeled the problem by another trainer or vet, we want the case. Bring it to the consultation, we will tell you what is realistic.
Yes, and that is the point. A trained dog without a trained owner falls apart in a week. Every program includes structured owner sessions and lifetime support on anything we covered together.
Puppies from about eight weeks all the way through adult and senior dogs. There is no age cap on behavior change, only on which methods are appropriate.

Every program starts with a free consultation. No pressure, no upsells, just a real conversation about what is going on and what is realistic.
