Pebbles! I am so proud of this sweet little pup!

I started working with Pebbles and her people several months ago. Pebbles’ family likes to travel and one of their goals is to fly with her. That means helping her feel comfortable in a carrier in a crowded space with things moving by on wheels.

I think we are on the road to success Pebbles is loving her carrier!

When welcoming a new dog to your home, please remember the importance of decompression, management, and reinforcement.

Dogs need some time to decompress, even if they are coming from a foster home. They need to time to settle in and learn about their new home, routines, and family. The rules are going to be different in their new home then they were in their foster home.

Managing your environment helps dogs learn the rules and boundaries. It stops them from practicing a behavior you do not wish for them to engage in. Crates, baby gates, x-pens, and leashes are great tools.

Reinforce the behaviors you want your dog to engage in and continue doing. Treats provide feedback and reward the behaviors you want your dog to repeat.

If you are looking to add a dog to your family, please check local shelters, like Forsyth Animal Services, and rescues. There are so many great dogs looking for home. I offer a 10% discount on all training for dogs recently adopted from a local shelter, the Humane Society or a reputable rescue.

Puppies! Saturday was puppy day! I got to hang out with Daisy, Tate, and Daphne and their people. I love working with puppies.

My goal with puppies is to help them become confident dogs who are comfortable and calm in our human world. Proper socialization and resilience building are key components to this.

Daisy, Tate, and Daphne are going to grow up to be fantastic family dogs!

One of my goals as a trainer is to get out and about in the real world with my clients and their dog or puppy. I know how important it is for most people to be able to take their dogs out with them, so we practice being calm, confident, and comfortable in the real world.

Rocky, Nash, Sunny, and Tate enjoy exploring the world!

Meet Lulu! She is gorgeous! Lulu was adopted from Cobb County Animal Services earlier this year. She is a sweet girl. She needs some support with leash walking skills.

Remember when welcoming a new dog into your home from a shelter setting they need some sometime to decompress. Settle in and destress. Shelter life is a stressful one.

Management is also a really important part of training. Use crates, gates, leashes, and put things away so your new dog doesn’t practice undesirable behavior.

Reinforcement is extremely important. Dogs are going to do what works for them. Giving treats provides feedback as well as rewards behaviors you want your dog to repeat.

If you are looking for a dog to add to your family, visit your local shelter. There are some amazing dogs looking for home! I offer a 10% discount on training for dogs recently adopted from a local shelter or rescue.

I am incredibly fortunate to have the very BEST clients.

It feels so good to work with people who are truly committed to helping their dogs. Harrison’s people are just one example of a family who has gone above and beyond to help give their pup the best life.

Harrison was adopted from LifeLine Animal Project several months ago. He has some quirks and he is not an “easy button dog”. Harrison and his people have faced some challenges, but his people have always been committed to helping him. And while not always easy, they have done it. They sought help when they needed it and have followed through with recommendations. It shows!

It was so great seeing Harrison yesterday! I can tell he feels better. He’s happy and content. He is one lucky pup!
