I Just Got My First Puppy – What Do I Do Now?

Why is it so Challenging to Train my Puppy?
It is now the beginning of the year and that means that we are entering the start of “Puppy Time”. Just like any other January for over seventeen years, we are getting a rash of calls asking for help training new puppies. We love getting out there, working with...
How Do I Assure My New Puppy Will Become a Great Dog?
I was over in Cumming at the AT&T Store just off the 400 last week getting a new phone. My Apple 11 was long paid off and I needed to upgrade to a device with more memory so I could add some scheduling and mapping apps. After having Apple phones "all my...
What Are Some Important Training Tips for My New Christmas Puppy?
I was in Buford last Tuesday with a new Home Dog Training client and his two-year old Cocker Spaniel named Danny. Danny had a difficult time providing my client any focus and had the typical "Cocker Spaniel energy". My client quickly learned how to get Danny's...
Is it OK to Have Our Dog with Us Under the Christmas Tree?

Is Giving Christmas Puppies as a Gift a Good Idea?

What Must I Do to Assure a Safe Walk With My Dog While Visiting Relatives at Christmas?
Last Thursday I was at a Home Dog Training session in Woodstock training a new client and her eighteen month old Labradoodle, Shadow. At eighteen months, many Labradoodles still act as if they were puppies, so Shadow was still exhibiting a lot of naughty issues such...
How Do I Keep My Dog Back When Holiday Guests Are At the Front Door?
I was at a new Home Dog Training client in Decatur the other day working with their Jack Russell named Wiley. Wiley would never listen to our client, loved to jump on everyone entering the house, and would always steal anything that was on low tables. I told my...
How Do I Safely Travel with My Dog During the Holidays?
We were at a new Home Dog Training client in Norcross the other day helping her with her Dalmation named Rockey. Rockey, like all Dalmations, was very animated and playful. He loved to steal things, run around the house, jump on people, and in need of a great deal of...
How Can I Make Sure Thanksgiving Will Be Great for My Dog?
I was at a new Home Dog Training client in Snellville last Tuesday working with him and his one-year-old Catahoula named George. George was a very active and inquisitive puppy. Being young and a hunting dog breed, that is something I would naturally expect from a...
How Do I Keep My Dog from Being Stolen and What Do I Do If He Is?
I was at a new Home Dog Training client in Flowery Branch last week working with him and his six month old Portuguese Water Dog named Magellan. Magellan was a great puppy and full of life. He was also very big. Although a recipe for a lot of fun, a big, crazy puppy...
How Do I Walk Two Crazy Dogs at the Same Time?
I was at a new Home Dog Training Client in Snellville last Tuesday working with his two young Whippets named Bones and McCoy (He is a big fan of Star Trek...). Most of my client's issues with Bones and McCoy focused on things in the house like jumping, stealing stuff,...
