Toby the English crème golden struggles with jumping on guests and walking on leash, so she joined head trainer Aurora for a day training. She learned to sit to greet people walking up to her, and began the foundations of loose leash walking.

A few weeks ago, we tackled some fantastic outings with Winston the Cavapoo. The first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life are the most important for learning life and social skills, so we go in depth on preparing our puppies to experience the world.

Enzo the Dutch Shepherd Puppy went out for a socialization day training around Dunwoody and in Roswell to have positive people experiences and work on proving his obedience. Top Dog always has excellent treats and chews for puppies to teeth on, so Enzo got a tasty, fully digestible chew for the road. He was an absolute rock star today, and is now all tired out!

Kota the malinois tends to rush the door and pull to get out, overexcited about the world outside. During his day training, we stayed at home to help teach him the polite way to greet guests and to respect the space of the front door. For just a big puppy, Kota made huge strides forward! (Video coming soon)

Part of our training program is our lifetime support guarantee! Gus the Dutchie began training with us in 2019, and when his pawrents go out of town, they call us to house sit and make sure that Gus is safe and taken care of. We love getting to see Gus and his sister, and getting to see how their training has progressed even after graduation.

PERFECT MATCH

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DOG FOR YOU BASED ON PERSONALITY AND LIFESTYLE

Much like how modern-day dating apps take into account likes, dislikes, and lifestyles when pairing up two potential lovebirds, the same selection process goes for finding your perfect pet, with different dog breeds more ideal for certain types of owners.

Here, Aurora Taylor, canine psychology specialist and owner of Dunwoody-based dog-training facility Rising Star K9s, offers her expert opinion to help soon-to-be pup parents determine which breed is best suited for their personality and lifestyle.

FOR THE ACTIVE OWNER:
Australian shepherd, Dalmatian, Labrador retriever, Weimaraner, Rhodesian Ridgeback, vizsla

FOR THE OWNER WITH KIDS:
Bernese mountain dog, Goldendoodle or poodle mix, golden retriever, Greater Swiss mountain dog, Havanese, Labrador retriever, Maltese, Shih Tzu, West Highland white terrier

FOR THE OWNER WHO WORKS IN AN OFFICE OR TRAVELS:
Chow chow, greyhound, shar-pei, shiba inu

FOR THE CUDDLY OWNER:
Bichon Frise, Cavalier King Charles spaniel, cocker spaniel, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Saint Bernard

ADOPTION TIP
“Avoid pet stores, as those dogs can be really prone to health issues,” says Taylor. “Look for a reputable breeder that does health testing on their dogs. If you’re looking to adopt a dog, go through a responsible rescue. We have a lot in Atlanta that are great with matching you with a dog that will suit your needs and personality.”
