Charlotte North Carolina’s Best Dog Trainer
Canine Composure Dog Training
Calm Dogs. Confident Owners.
We help people and dogs build calm, confident relationships rooted in communication and trust.
Our programs focus on mindset before obedience — because a balanced dog isn’t just one who listens, it’s one who can relax.
Whether you’re working toward peaceful walks, reliable off-leash skills, or a calmer home life, our approach gives you the structure, support, and clarity to get there.
The Canine Composure Way
Dog training doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to make sense.
Our philosophy is built on understanding your dog’s state of mind first, so obedience and reliability naturally follow.
We combine balanced methods, clear communication, and compassionate guidance to create dogs who are not just well-trained, but well-adjusted.
When in doubt — pause, soften, and breathe. Your dog will follow your lead.

Happy Families
“I cannot say enough about Raegan ! She had Hank my Bull Mastiff “puppy” for 20 days of day training. Although still a puppy, she has empowered him and us to have a happy and safe socialization life and relationship! Although he has a sweet temperament, he is large and having this training has allowed even my 6 yo ( who is 1/3 of his weight) to handle him with confidence!”
Emily Edwards
“…if you’re looking for someone who truly just gets it - someone who will celebrate your dog, guide you with compassion, and help you build something lasting - raegan is the one. i am endlessly thankful for her and this experience.”
