Dog Training in Alpharetta, GA

The focus of Family Dog Training is the family dog and building the bond between person and pet through positive training along with fun and games. Once you build that bond, living with your dog becomes more enjoyable. I enjoy seeing the bond between person and dog grow and develop while building the behaviors that allow the dog to integrate into family life.

Training: I can help with puppy training, basic cues, leave it, loose leash walking, emergency recall and some behavior issues. My goal is to help you understand how to "speak dog". Dog training is mostly "human training with a dog". Let me help you learn to better understand your dog, work with you to teach them basic manners, help understand behavior issues and develop a plan to help. I have trained over 160 dogs in group classed, individual sessions and in a shelter environment. Training in different environments has helped me become more understanding of clients and of various behavior concerns. I would love to help, whether you just brought home a fluffy new puppy, newly rescued a lucky dog, want to brush up on some things, or have concerns. Reach out and we can discuss your goals. Nature Dogz is licensed, bonded, insured and pet first aid certified. I am a certified dog trainer, having earned my CPDT-KA certification in February 2022. I have also received certification from the Grisha Stewart academy for Behavior Adjustment Training. I hope to work with you and your best friend soon!

Hi, I’m Jaila – the heart behind Heart of a Dog. As a multi-dog owner and balanced trainer with over five years of experience, my passion lies in helping dogs and their owners truly understand each other. I believe the foundation of great training is a strong relationship built on trust, communication, and mutual respect. I love helping dogs become more calm, confident, and well-adjusted as they navigate life’s chaos. Whether it’s through structure, clear communication, or confidence-building exercises, my goal is always to support dogs in becoming the best version of themselves. I specialize in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, potty training, household manners, and behavior modification. Through my in-home board and train programs, dogs receive consistent, personalized training in a real home environment. These programs also include private lessons to support a smooth transition and continued success. I’m here to help build that bond in a way that makes life easier, more peaceful, and more fulfilling for you both!
