Don’t miss this chance guys!

Do you want to improve your training? Would you like for your to simply want to do the right thing versus having to force them?

Come join us on Aug 24th in Ball Ground, GA to discuss modern dog training techniques and how they can supplement or improve your current methods!

In this 1 day seminar we will discuss operant and classical conditioning. These principles transcend across all methods of bird dog training, you're already doing it without necessarily knowing it! Join us for this discussion and hands on instruction so that you can accurately and effectively communicate with your bird dog! This is a balanced training approach in which we can both encourage and discourage behaviors. We will discuss, demonstrate, and practice the applications of markers, rewards, and corrections. Learn how to shape, reinforce, name, generalize, and proof behaviors such as whoa!

The training principles discussed apply to all dogs not just or . and will also benefit from you understanding how to clearly and effectively communicate verbally, with pressure, and reward!

Limited spots are available!

Bring your own dog if you would like or enjoy watching our demonstration dogs.

People ask me all the time what my recommendations are to help with their crazy puppy in the house because it isn’t listening or how do they fix *any bad behavior* and then proceed to look at me like my head is screwed on sideways when I tell them to simply put a leash on their dog and establish rules/guidelines.

The answer is not go on Amazon and buy some cheap E collar, slap it on your dog and crank it to the highest level and hold the button down until your dog submits to you and basically shuts down.
If you are one of those people and didn’t know this was wrong, well now you do so please stop and reach out to me and I will give you free advice on how to fix it.

If your dog is bad limit their freedom, reward them when they act right and put them in the kennel when you can do neither of the two above and thank me in a months time when you have a different dog😉.

PSA
⬇️

Screaming at your dog does not mean they understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.
Most of y’all are your dogs hype man and you don’t even know it, y’all then get mad at your dog when they get hyped up😂😂

Relax and just put a leash on them in the house or send them to me for training😎

He hit the nail on the head with this video. Almost everyone socializations a puppy wrong.

One of the many benefits of having your puppy trained by me is proper socialization not only during training but afterwards as well if you choose to take advantage of my discounted daycare and boarding rates that I offer for my trained dogs.

It’s been a hard week without Dolly!! Her mom deployed and we are missing them both. I’m sure Dolly is keeping her grandparents very busy. Please keep Liz in your prayers and we are counting down until we get Dolly Llama again. ❤️🐶🇺🇸

You can ask anyone who is close to me and they will tell you that my love for dogs and dog training is intoxicating and almost intolerable at times😂

The main reason I can’t shut up about it is due to the fact that I do it because I enjoy helping people improve their relationships with their dogs more than anything else!

If you are willing to give me a few minutes of your time (hours depending on how engaged you are😂)
I will pour into you and your dog for free if I can see that you care and are willing to learn.

Hercules is already a wonderful dog. He was trained by his dad and his dad did an outstanding job!!

I seen and Hercules on a walk and stopped to let her know that she had a beautiful well mannered dog and told her my profession and that I lived in the neighborhood if they ever needed anything.

She briefly mentioned that she felt like on walks Hercules was walking her the entire time so I asked if she had a spare second for me to see if I could help her and she said yes.
I threw the truck in park and grabbed the one and only leash I recommend to everyone and that is a dominant dog leash made by the one and only and with proper education and a few minutes she was in charge of the walk for the first time and she lit up.

I can’t wait to have Hercules over to start working on his relationship building skills with other pups!!

Obi is one of my reoccurring boarding clients and is spending a few days boarding with me while his family goes out of town on a work trip. Before his owners left they started discussing some issues with me that he was starting to present and I figured since he was spending time with me these next few days that I might as well make the most of it and try to work towards fixing some of his problems. I can’t help but try to make every dog that comes into my home better than it was before it showed up.

I couldn’t of said it any better.

Walking/running your dog daily is not enough to get your dog to behave correctly; you will still have issues with your dog.
In reality all you are doing is building up your dogs stamina and making them more uncontrollable inside the home.

Everyone would benefit more if people would take as little as 5 minutes of time a day to train their dog!

If you do not know where to begin with the training process then please do not hesitate to reach out and let me help not only you but your furry companion. It’s never to late to have a well behaved dog.

"A tired dog is a good dog."

How many people have heard that old saying before or even told someone else that? "Oh, your misbehaving dog just needs more exercise, and that will tire him out." How many of you have bought in to that if you just keep exercising your dog the "craziness" will diminish, the reactivity will go down, the barking will decrease, etc?

Let's think about this differently. If you want to run a 5k and let's say you can only walk it right now, how would you go about being able to run the full 5k? Easy, by running more and exercising consistently. You'll get faster, stronger, and build endurance even if you are a little tired after each exercise. But then, as you continue and get stronger and faster, you start running farther each time because you've built that stamina. Now, it starts taking more time and farther distances to tire you out. Why? Because you've trained and built up stamina and endurance!

So why wouldn't this be the same for our dogs? They become more athletic and need more and more exercise to tire them out. They have become marathon runners at a sprinters' pace, living off the "runner's high." So now you have an Olympic marathon sprinter living in your house who is still having all the issues you thought providing more exercise would help. Now, the dog has more energy than the Energizer Bunny to continue all the bad habits.

Yes, exercise is amazing for you and your dogs. We absolutely want people to enjoy being active with their dogs and avidly promote it, but that's only one step of the equation. First and foremost, with dogs struggling with behavior issues, we want to teach the dog how to relax and calm down even without the crazy amounts of exercise. Why? Because movement is easy for dogs and stillness is hard. We want to create a dog who can relax. Next, we work on correcting unwanted behaviors by nipping them in the bud. We do this through training and not through exercising. Because you'll never be able to outrun your dog's bad behaviors, they will beat you every time in that race.

The goal is to teach the dogs how to relax and chill while also giving valuable (to your dog) consequences for negative behaviors. Then, you'll start building an amazing dog who will be a phenomenal athlete as well.

I want to apologize for the social media blackout over the last two weeks. The flu hit our household pretty hard; I got lucky and was only sick for a couple of days but it seemed like everyone else couldn’t shake the sickness.
Business didn’t slow down, if anything it seemed to pick up during this time because of spring break and I simply just didn’t have the time or energy to post updates. We are all thankfully back to full health and I will resume my daily postings of everyone’s beautiful pups!

These two are the oddest of friends and it has been impossible for me to get a picture of them together but they have been playing nonstop with one another! Squid also loves the mud more than any dog I have ever met!!!

I would like everyone to meet Franklin; previously Finn that I mentioned in my last post.

His family adopted him from a rescue in South Carolina and made a turn around trip to go and get him today.

He will first spend a few weeks with me for some basic obedience and behavioral modification training before going home with them that way we can fix some issues caused by his unknown start to life.

Can’t wait to get started with this little dude😎

Milo will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the best dogs!!
I am grateful for nights like tonight when we don’t have any extra dogs to walk and I can spend my extra time loving on him!!

Since Tylers mom will more than likely have a stroller with her everytime she takes him out on a walk we are working on our leash manners. If you notice in the beginning of the video he trys to walk in front of the stroller and is corrected subtly by the leash. By the end of his walk we were almost loose leash walking with him next to the stroller😁
