Since my daughter was born seven months ago I get asked all the time how my dogs are with her. I could not be more proud of them. Mack, my Border Collie in this photo, is the ever vigilant baby sitter, constantly looking to comfort her and protect her from harm but without being at all possessive of her. He also cries with her if she gets hurt or is hungry. River adores her and wants nothing more than to lay near her and get attention from her. River will gladly tolerate a collar grab or touch now that my daughter is crawling (always supervised). I adopted Mack as an adult and his previous owner did a wonderful job with him, but I spent a lot of time working with River as a puppy. I worked on getting her use to being touched all over and even to enjoy it. I taught her as a puppy to tolerate being handled and grabbed and restrained so that if children grabbed her or played too rough with her it would not cause any fear aggression. It is always important to supervise dogs and kids, even the most trustworthy of dogs and children, but good bite inhibition development and properly early socialization and handling can make the difference between enjoying your sweet family pet and having to re-home a dog because it is a danger to your children. Children who do not always understand a dog's space requirements. If you are getting ready to add a new puppy to your home or have already added one I do offer Skype and phone training sessions as well as in person sessions if you are local. I would be glad to walk you through how to being house breaking, create training, how to properly socialize, how to do handling exercises, how to deal with chewing, mouthing, what toys and items to purchase for a new puppy, and answering other specific questions you have. @lifedogtraining www.lifedogtraining.com #dogsofatl #dogsofatlanta #dogsofinstagram #bordercollie #bordercolliesofinstagram #dogsandbabies #puppies #puppytraining #puppysocialization #biteinhibition #babies #babiesanddogs #dogsandkids #dogtraining

One satisfied dog. Birddog training...her favorite thing in the world is retrieving birds, snuggling and swimming are close seconds. Unfortunately for her she doesn't get to do it often. @lifedogtraining #curlycoatedretriever #dogsofatl #dogsofatlanta #dogsofinstagram #retriever #retrieversofinstagram #curlycoatedretrieversofinstagram #birddog #huntingdogs #duckhunting #dogtraining

Training at home and abroad

 Life Dog Training’s passion is to help individuals and families enjoy their pets in real life circumstances.

 Through training and socialization dogs can become a fun and functional part of our lives. From having a dog who does not tear up your house to having a dog that you can take on vacations, camping trips, or to sit calmly outside a coffee house; we love helping families and individuals be able to live happily with their dogs, and helping dogs to live peacefully with their people.
