Dog Authority

Dog Authority I grew up on a farm and was always an animal lover, especially dogs. He used to sit by my baby swing and run to get someone if it stopped.

🐶 Dog Behaviorist and Trainer | Over 26+ Years of Expertise | Training You How to Train Your Dog 🐕 | Video Chat Training 💻 | In-home Training 🏠 | Let's Help Your Dog Thrive 🐾 My personal belief is the Japanese Akita my mom had when I was born played a role in my love and connection to dogs. He was great with me and made a fantastic babysitter! I started dog training and behavior in 1998. My first

dog, Rocky, was a Shepherd/Collie mix and he is the reason I became a dog trainer. When he hit teenage hood I had to call in a professional trainer. During one of the training sessions the trainer asked if I had ever considered becoming a dog trainer. When I was a child I wanted to be a vet, but abandoned the idea when I thought about having to euthanize dogs. Dog training and behavior seemed like a natural fit. My training to become a trainer and behavior expert was via apprenticeship. To this day I am grateful that Rocky led me down this path. Dog training is not just a job for me, it is my passion. I take time with my clients and don’t rush them with an hourly fee. I truly believe once you start training with me, you are part of my dog training family. Your dogs become like my dogs and are treated that way. I work with the dog as a whole, meaning what a dog eats, its environment, physical, and mental needs all play a role in training. Plus, I am a practical trainer who takes into consideration your family’s schedule as well. Community involvement is another joy for me – whether it is teaching dog safety to children or working with organizations that help rescue dogs find permanent, loving homes. If I can educate people about dogs and further communication between dogs and humans, I am in my glory.

Looking for forever home.

Good morning and happy Monday to you all!
Our brilliant 'Helping Hands/ Healing Paws' pet food pantry team were out there in the blazing sun on Saturday morning in Athens, eager, ready and willing to help pet owners in crisis.
We are beyond proud of Outreach leader Sheree Barwise, transport guru Patrick Eggers and ace volunteer Laura Williams for getting out of bed at 5am to do this. That, my friends, is pure selflessness.
Our team helped 128 dogs, and 125 cats on Saturday morning. They gave away food, flea and tick repellent, natural anti-inflammatory supplements Dr. Baker's System Saver as well as leashes and treats. We also gave socks and blankets to the homeless.
This mission is about making it possible for people in financial crisis to keep their pets, rather than surrendering them to the shelter.
We are proud to say that many people tell us they were so relieved when we started this outreach because they knew that if we hadn't, it was going to be a very sorry ending for their pets.
Shelters are in crisis, rescues are over-run, there is simply no room to put every surrendered pet so many end up being euthanized as soon as they enter.
Help us to help them. If you can donate just a few hours of your time either to help bag food into portable-sized ziplock bags, help load up the 'goodies' trailer, or even help distribute food in Athens or Commerce at our pet food pantries, we want to hear from you.
We are a very small rescue with a very big reach and its people like you that help us to do this.
Our thanks to Patrick, Laura and Sheree for being exceptional humans.

Smokey and Holly are looking their best for Mother's Day! They have a new groomer, Stanley from Buddies Mobile Grooming. He has a true passion for dogs and that came through with his patience with my 12 year old dogs. He literally sat on the floor to groom Smokey so it would be easier on him. You can see his 20+ years experience in how well he groomed Smokey and was able to handle Holly who doesn't stay still well for nail trims. Think Riverdance I swear lol.

Now let's talk about how easy it was to get someone when I called, right away! Arun answered all my questions and made it easy to book. I appreciate the confirmation texts and the eta text. I highly recommend!
