Feb 16, 2004: The website has been updated with many new pictures of the facility and a description of the services we offer! Who are we? We are Greater Coastal Canines, providing quality German Shepherd Dogs and training services. Where are we? Located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we have a large training facility that is not far from the beach. What can we do for you? We first begin by building a relationship with a new puppy, or securing a relationship with an older dog. Trust must be developed in order for training to be successful. Boundaries are established, and you and your dog learn to work as a team. Beginning training starts by teaching your pet what is expected of him or her. We first begin by training you to keep your dog focused on you, his handler. Without your dog’s attention, training is virtually impossible. You will be taught how and when to give the proper corrections. Improper or over-correcting will break the spirit of any dog. Your training involves a trainer training YOU to train your dog. Emphasis is put on good manners. Results: A better relationship between you and your best friend.          For more information, continue to our "Services" page.
