Positive Dog Training and Behavior Services - Nationwide
Canine Counseling is based in Smyrna, GA and provides dog training and behavior services to the Atlanta region.
Our training methods are science-based, free from punishment and force and aim to not only help improve your pup's overall mental health but set you, their caretakers, up for ongoing success.
Our services cover a wide range of dogs and their needs, from obedience for puppies to more advanced problem-solving for dogs experiencing anxiety, compulsions or aggressive-type behaviors.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Have patience and compassion, not only for your pets but for yourself. Navigating the varying and complex life stages of cats and dogs can be exhausting and frustrating - don't rush your training, take breaks, quit while you're ahead and don't push them (or yourself) past their point of comfort.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
