What Does My Dog Really Want?
Robin and I were in Buford last Tuesday working with a new Home Dog Training client and his German Shorthaired Pointer named Larry. I didn't think that we had ever trained another dog named "Larry", so I had to ask the question "Why the name?". Our client responded...
What Precautions Should I Take When Playing With My Dog in the Summer Heat?
We were in Alpharetta working with a New Home Dog Training client and her two year old Rottweiler named Pedro. Pedro was a very high energy dog and that was causing most of their problems. He needed to understand rules and who was the boss because it appeared that...
How Can I Keep My Dog Safe and Happy this 4th of July?
Robin and I were in Suwanee last Wednesday working with a new Home Dog Training Client and his Bernedoodle named Bobbie. Bobbie was just over a year old and still had a lot of his "puppy precociousness". Our goal for the training was to give our client the ability to...
How Can I Be Sure My Dog Will Be Safe at the Vet Hospital? (Part 2 of 2)

How Can I Be Sure My Dog Will Be Safe at the Vet Hospital? (Part 1 of 2)

Why is My Puppy Getting Into So Much Mischief?

What Do I Do With a Crazy Dog and a Long Work Day?
Last Wednesday Robin and I were in Canton working with a new Home Dog Training Client and his two year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named George. I really like Catahoulas because of their playful personality and high intelligence. This makes them easy to train and fun...
How Do I Keep My Dog Safe Around the Swimming Pool?
I was in Atlanta last week with a Home Dog Training client and Boomer, a cute and energetic Golden Retriever. Boomer is a puppy and this was our second visit. Everything was going very well. The potty mistakes inside the house had stopped and Boomer was paying...
How Do I Walk My Dog in a Crowded Place?
We were in Buckhead last Monday working with a new Home Dog Training Client and his Alaskan Malamute named Pike. Pike was a beautiful dog and relatively well behaved. He responded well and quickly gave our client the respect and focus she needed in order to control...
How Can I Keep My Dog From Going Nuts Before the Walk Even Starts?
I was over in Decatur last week with a new Home Dog Training client and his German Shepherd named Axel. I love Shepherds and have a female at home with my six other dogs. Needles to say, I really enjoyed working with Axel. He responded very quickly to my client's...
Should The Entire Family Participate in Training Our Dog?

How Can I Build a Bond With My Dog With Long Work Hours?
