Appalachian Canine Coaching

Appalachian Canine Coaching, located at 5553 Sugar Grove Highway in Sugar Grove, Virginia, was founded by Casi McKinnon in 2019. ACC offers a positive reinforcement, relationship-based training approach tailored to each individual dog. The goal is to create a positive experience for both the dog and owner, focusing on building a strong bond and mutual understanding. Levi McKinnon, a full-time student with a passion for dogs, joined the team and is working alongside Casi to provide training for board & train clients and group classes. Casi, with her background in animal health and training certification, is dedicated to helping dogs and their owners better understand each other. The institution offers various training programs, including puppy development, group classes, board and train options, and one-on-one coaching. Special discounts are available for dogs adopted from shelters or rescues. ACC's mission is to improve the relationship between dogs and their owners through positive reinforcement training methods.
