Introduction

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.

Q&A

Each private session is 60 minutes priced at $95 for one session or $275 for a package of three sessions. A mileage fee will be added if over 10 miles from 30068 zip code.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Clients are asked to fill out a questionnaire about the dog and the family which is reviewed at the first session.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have over twelve years of training dogs with clients and over ten years as a certified volunteer handler working with a service dog organization based in Metro Atlanta. I obtained certification with FitPaws, Wagit, and Bond Based Choice Teaching. I'm also a former high school teacher and have a Masters in education. I retired from IBM after a long sales management career.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started out by training my own dogs then friends and neighbors asked me to train their dogs.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with all ages of people and all types, as well as all ages, of dogs.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Dog training has evolved to the point where positive and bond based methods are the norm. Consider what your goals are and if you're looking for a dog to be part of the family then choose a trainer who will guide you to that end.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What training methods do you use? Do you include the whole family in the training?
