Janelle G. Blomquist

I approach every dog and person as an individual-- providing thoughtful, compassionate, practical, and science-based training and behavior modification. I encourage building trust with your dog, keeping training fun, and celebrating small victories. I'm also a Fear Free Certified Trainer and apply this approach and philosophy to all training situations. Muzzle training and cooperative care are some of my favorite things to train.Most of my work has been with rescue dogs. I've worked in animal welfare, in a shelter setting, since 2013. This experience has given me the priceless opportunity to work with *literally* thousands of dogs and cats. They come from a variety of backgrounds, in all ages, breeds, shapes, and sizes, with a wide range of behavior and medical issues. Many of the animals I've worked with come from cruelty or hoarding cases. Working hands-on with so many different dogs in a stressful shelter environment has been an invaluable and on-going learning experience for which I am very grateful.I'm currently offering in-home private training in the North Georgia/Metro Atlanta area through Alan's K9 Academy. Please mention Janelle when requesting an initial assessment.

Maria G. Huntoon

Our mission is to find balance between you and your dog so that every member of your family can live happily. Having a well-mannered, confident dog that is a positive addition to your life starts with you. Many inappropriate dog behaviors occur because of an imbalance or miscommunication in the relationship between a dog and its human. We offer a holistic approach to tackling canine behavior concerns by teaching both you and your dog so that we can build harmony from the inside out. By looking at each dog and each relationship individually, we will teach you how to understand who your dog is, why he does what he does, and how you can work with that in a way that will create positive results for both of you that will have long-lasting results! We won't just put a temporary fix on the problem. Through understanding canine behavior and effective communication methods, you will gain the skills to create a happy life with the four-legged members of your family!I offer private behavioral consultations in your home and specialize in anxiety, hyperactivity, fear/lack of confidence, and aggressive behaviors in addition to other, less emotionally-driven behavior concerns. Working with dogs, and understanding their behavior and how to train them, is not black and white - there are many shades of gray. What works for one team or in one circumstance may not work for the next. ​Behavior problems are most often due to an imbalance in the relationship, and the situation may not be what you think. By helping you understand more about how dogs learn and why they act the way they do (and more specifically, your dog), Maria will help you build a stronger, happier relationship with your dog. You will learn more about dog signals and communication, human-canine interaction techniques, and how to "build him up instead of break him down," thereby allowing you to provide better, clearer and more respectable communication to your dog - resulting in a more well-mannered and responsive partner!
