As we bring the pup in, it’s important that we have a good set up so introductions can go really well.

Our July Workshop was a success! We met so many different dogs and people! I have decided that when I come down to visit family in Dothan I will host another workshop. I will probably aim for once a month! I will post it here when I get a date and will also email it to all on my email list!!

Again it will only be a workshop and will only do privates when I come down if someone feels they have an emergency. If that is the case you will need to email/text/message me so it comes to my attention.

Today was so fun! I really miss training and I want to thank you all for trusting me with your pets and knowledge!

Hi All, Since I will be in town for a few days in July, I have decided to offer a 1 day 2 hour workshop. I can offer one off workshops like this one when I come down to Dothan on occasion. When that happens I will send a newsletter email much like this one.
I can not offer private training as I have moved to the Birmingham area. I have halted all training as my life and focus has taken a turn to be with my kid.

Workshop will be held at Westgate. (The small loop behind the kids play area at kiwanis park. There is an opening that leads you to the tennis courts. We will meet at that large opening field area)

This workshop is for outside issues such as reactivity to people, dogs, over excitement, leash skills, anxious dogs, commands, Service dog training, etc

Workshop Date:

Wednesday July 26th 4-6pm

This workshop will not focus on indoor issues such as potty training, puppy issues such as crate training, mouthiness, barking out the windows, and other unwanted indoor behaviors.

Price for this workshop is $225. You will learn how to manage your dog when they are overstimulated, how to walk on a leash, how to keep your dog engaged with you and become a master at reading your dog's body language so you can best know how to respond.

Payment: I accept cash, check made out to Aaron Mills, and venmo. I can take card payments however there will be a 3.6% processing fee added to the total. Minimum of 8 participants.

Hey everyone, I’m still on a training sabbatical. Things with life are just too complicated to start back.

We have had a lot of losses as of late and it has been hard to hold. Many of you have met Liam as he was my training partner. He accompanied me to many appointments and helped rehabilitate hundreds of dogs over the last 6+ years. Due to cancer we lost liam within a week of finding out about his diagnosis. A very close friend (amazing trainer that trained me) recently had to put her training and service dog down as well. These dogs were more than just family.. they both were rehabilitated dogs themselves who were super reactive to other dogs. They worked hard and made our lives better.

Prince is the last dog we have and I feel like we are starting all over as prince has picked up some reactivity to both dogs and people. Since moving to Alabama Liam was my primary work dog so prince didn’t get much training and now that I’ve stepped away definitely hasn’t gotten much practice.

I just wanted to share here about our pups as you all have been my dog community and some of you know how sweet and spunky Liam was. He will be missed.
