Appalachian Canine Coaching
Appalachian Canine Coaching was started by Casi McKinnon in 2019. ACC offers a positive reinforcement, relationship based training that works with each dog as an individual. At Appalachian Canine Coaching we want each coaching experience to be positive for both you and your dog. We like to assess each dog and their individual needs and then coach you on what ways we think your dog will learn the best.
