Robin and I were in Acworth last Wednesday working with a new Home Dog Training client and his two year old Boxer Mix named Hogan. The biggest problem that our client was experiencing with Hogan was pulling on the leash and jumping on guests when they cam into the...
How Do I Keep My Newborn Baby Safe Around My Dogs?
We were in Acworth last week working with a new Home Dog Training client and his two year old Cocker Spaniel. He also had a Boston Terrier, but he told me the Boston was just fine. The Cocker was the problem boy. He never listened, would pull on a walk, jumped on...
How Do I Get My New Puppy Happy with All the Stuff Around Him?

How Can I Avoid Dog Bites?

How Do I Get My Dog to Like His Dog House?

What’s the Difference Between a Dog Bite and Dog Nip?
I often discuss my dogs in my posts, but today's topic is something that, thankfully, my dogs have never done. Over 50% of all my clients who have said that their dog bit them was because of the scenario I am going to discuss here. The thing that we must remember is...
