There are so many dogs out there... homeless, in shelters, and on death row.  There is no reason for them to be there, other than the carelessness of owners/breeders/etc. contributing to their massive overpopulation.  Please consider using any or all of the following sites in your search for a companion.

Dog training is not just about silly tricks, and training (in the convenience of your home) is easier than you might think.
I will show you how to get your puppy or adult dog to stop jumping on people, to stop bolting out the door as soon as
it is cracked open, and to stop pulling on the leash like he is a sled dog. I can also cover the basics like "sit" and "stay."
Training is for the entire family, even the youngest members. I have a proven ability to effectively communicate with children, and you will find that they are comfortable taking direction from me.

Why should you and your dog get training?

       •       A well behaved dog is a happy dog and is a joy for you and others
               to be around.
       •       Effective communication with your dog will strengthen the bond you
               share.
       •       A trained dog is less likely to run away (and get hit by a car or worse).
       •       Trained and confident dogs are less likely to bite

Why get help from Rob?
       •       I will come to your home and provide individualized training and behavioral solutions specific to you and your dog.
       •       I can help you address behavioral problems before they get any further out of control.
       •       I use only positive reinforcement and other humane means of training.
       •       I will demonstrate some simple techniques to you (as well as the philosophy/psychology behind them) and you should see great results within a few days.
       •       I will show you what you need to do so that you will not need me to come back each week.
       •       I have ten years of experience.
       •       I have extensive experience with managing dog/dog aggression.
       •       I have extensive experience with pitbulls.
       •       I provide unlimited free phone support for people with pitbulls.

The initial 90 minute session is $30 with a $20 follow up
visit (if necessary). Mileage applies to all visits outside a 20 mile radius of Cherokee County.

I have experience with dog/human aggression, but in my experience this is much
more complicated.  Dog/human aggression should be taken very seriously
and should be dealt with immediately.

I can provide numerous references from local veterinarians and other professionals in the animal care industry.

Adopt a sweet Pitbull from the Cherokee County Animal Shelter, and get a free in-home training session.

The lowdown: I think this guy's about a year and a half old, and he's a short but solid little thing, chocolate and white with a speckledy nose. He's tentative at first but takes less than ten minutes to lighten up and show off his goober side. He was afraid of but curious about dogs through fences/glass doors, perplexed by cats (but too interested for my liking), super-gentle taking treats, okay with getting belly rubs and being picked up. Very playful and affectionate--I couldn't keep him out of my lap for more than a few seconds. He's apparently been eating out of a nearby Italian restaurant dumpster (yeah, my car mats will never be the same...), has numerous scars on his face and legs, several big fly bites, and a cherry-eye. But while he's a little rough around the edges, he's still a strikingly handsome fellow.

I picked him up off of a six lane on my way back from school this afternoon--and promptly sent him to animal control for my lack of even the slightest bit of room at the inn. It was raining, he was trying to commit doggie suicide, and I don't know, I'd just had enough suckiness for one day and couldn't drive on. So a u-turn was made and after fifteen minutes of careful negotiation with one very scared, cornered pit bull (mix?), the dog was in my car pretending none of this was happening. He came out of his shell a few miles later and spent the latter half of the ride with his head on my shoulder, just happy for the companionship. :( Once we got home, he turned into a TOTAL puppy, all wiggles. He wins the award for the kissiest dog ever and he was SO honored to be given a tug toy, even though he didn't really know how to play with it (again, sad face). He's obviously not had an easy go of it but he's so very willing to see the other side of the human race; he just needs someone to show it to him.

I sent him to animal control, and I cannot--cannot--let him die there. If anyone can help, please contact Officer Hughes: 678-245-2447. I can usually transport around the area if needed.
