Welcome to Sunny Dogs Training - Myrtle Beach's Best Dog Trainer

Sunny Dogs Training Company of Myrtle Beach, SC practices positive reinforcement and humane training techniques to help build your dog’s confidence and trust in you, while building your love and appreciation for him.
​

Why train your dog?  To gain that "best friend" you always wanted, and so he can gain his in you!  Remember, training is for a lifetime.  The positive things you do for your dog today will come back to you from him throughout your lives together.  Now's the time, and it's never too late!

We offer Obedience Training, Problem Solving, and Behavior Modification in the form of In-Home Private Training & Group Classes.  Sunny Dogs will teach you effective methods of communicating with your dog, the importance of basic cues, and steps to modify any of your dog’s bad habits. Together, we will work with your best friend to prove to him that you are a worthy leader and to increase his confidence as a successful and loving canine member of your family.

Meet The Owner, Kristen Belshaw

Kristen Belshaw (formerly Askey), the Owner of Sunny Dogs Training Company, is a resident of the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina, and has been training dogs formally since 2006.  Kristen received her training certification from Animal Behavior College (ABC), which provided her with the background to what what she already knew - how to work with dogs and enjoy a fulfilling relationship with a dog in the family setting.  Additionally, Kristen is a certified evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen(R) (CGC) program, and a Mentor Trainer for ABC.   With her training expertise, personal experiences, and instincts as a dog owner, Kristen brings a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to dog training.  Please visit Kristen's Sunny Dogs blog to learn more about her approach and experiences.

Kristen's passion has always been with "saving the dogs".  The number one cause of canine death in the United States is euthanization.  Since she can't save them all - and none of us can - she does her part as a forever mom of rescued dogs, and trains dogs so that folks who love their dogs will not need to surrender them due to behavioral problems. Kristen enjoys working with the families she meets and has built a wonderful family of successful Sunny Dogs trainees over the past few years.

Recent Graduate -  Jazmin Rose


Jazmin Rose, a one-year old Shorkie, owned by Barb.  Jaz was a nervous barker and a wiley thief who also needed some house-training rules.  This girl has done a complete turn around: she is more confident, welcoming, and listens better. 

Congratulations, Jaz! ​

  PS
"Kristen,
​Thank you so much for our training sessions. You presented several different training ideas. We appreciate your diligence with working with Casey as we know he is not the easiest dog to train. However, we do notice a big difference in him around the house. The outside world is still a challenge but we know to continue working on it. Also the doorbell trips are getting better but again it is something that is taking a little longer. Much success to you and your business.  PS. We will definitely recommend your training if we know someone who is looking for help."

- Larry & Tammy
