What Are Some Tips When Walking My Dog in the Woods?
I was in Woodstock last Friday with a new Home Dog Training client and his one-year-old Bloodhound named Duke. During the course of our training, our conversation turned to a cabin he had outside of Helen. My client told me that he really enjoyed walking in the woods...
How Do I Have a Calm Dog Around and In the Pool?
A few days ago we were over in Canton working with a new Home Dog Training client and his two-year-old Labrador Retriever named Betty. The main problems that he needed to be resolved were dog socialization and food aggression. It turned out that the “food aggression”...
What Are Some Tips to Get My Dog into His Crate?
I was at a Home Dog Training session last week in Decatur with a new client and his misbehaving fourteen-month-old Collie named Jason. Even though Jason was still in his “puppy time” and “some misbehavior” should be expected, he was just over the top. He continually...
Should I Let My Dog Off-Leash Outside?
Our clients are always asking us why we strongly recommend that they keep their dog on a leash when out and about when they see their neighbors outside with their dogs just running around off leash. Although we don’t say that “they have to do this”, they are always...
What Are Some Tips to Prepare My Dog for the New School Year?

How Should I Play with My Dog When Outside in the Summer?
We were in Dacula working with a New Home Dog Training client and her two-year-old Rottweiler named Derby. The major problem that they were experiencing with Derby was that he was extremely energetic. Because of his high energy, Derby was being allowed to do...
What Do I Do to Prepare My Dog for Our Summer Road Trip?
I was at an initial Home Dog Training session with a new client in Lithonia last week working with her and her American Staffordshire Terrier named Marion. Everything was going really well and Marion was being a wonderfully behaved little girl. We began our lesson...
What Can I Do for My Dog this July 4th?
I was in Acworth last Tuesday working with a new Home Dog Training Client and her “very happy” Bernedoodle named Sadie. Sadie was just about a year old and still had all of her "puppy precociousness" on full display. Our most important task for the day’s training...
What Can I Do to Make My Puppy Stop Nipping My Hands?
It is pretty much a fact of life that all little puppies enjoy nipping and jumping. This fact was completely in play last Wednesday when I was in Roswell at the home of a new Home Dog Training client and his puppy Maltese named Mrs. Peele. The jumping and nipping...
How Do I Get a Good Night’s Sleep with a Puppy?
Robin and I were over in Kennesaw yesterday enjoying a quiet and leisurely lunch. The local cafe we visit makes a really good egg salad sandwich that is well worth the drive from Dawsonville. Well, as we were about halfway through our yummy sandwiches, the person at...
What Are Some Pet Sitting Options for My Dog?
Last Wednesday we were at a new Home Dog Training session in Marietta. Our student was a very cuddly, lovable, and petite Pug named Marion. Marion was only eight months old, so she was still very much a puppy. Because of her age and the time of year, we were coming...
How Can I Let My Dog Know That the Vet Hospital is OK?
Robin and I were returning an amazing Great Dane named Boomer to his owner in Buckhead last week. Boomer had just finished a two-week Board and Train program with us. During that time, he proved to be a great student and was the perfect house guest. We went over all...
