Dog Training That Lets You Enjoy Your Dog More
We understand that dog training is more than obedience commands, it’s about being able to enjoy your dog! Imagine all of the things you can do when you can communicate with your dog! We know you can’t love them anymore than you already do, but you can certainly enjoy them more, and that’s what we love to be apart of. Teaching your dog to have a high level of obedience allows communication regardless of the environment.

ENGAGEMENT
A properly trained dog eagerly seeks out their human to perform their obedience behaviors for them. Have you seen a dog hold eye contact with their person and follow them around without being asked? This unrequested attention is called engagement, and it is the building blocks of our dog training methodology.

DISTRACTIONS
What good is it for your dog to only be able to perform their obedience at home? Field trips to parks, stores, and Atlanta landmarks allow us to hone your dog’s obedience in every environment! Whether you choose our board and train or private dog training lessons , field trips are included. Finishing your dog’s training in high stimulation environments ensures that their obedience training is solidified.

DRIVE
Training a dog in drive keeps them eager and excited to be obedient. We take each dog’s genetics into account, using their natural drive in their obedience training. Channeling their drive creates behaviors that are reliable and repetitive.
OVERWATCH K9, QUOTED IN THE MEDIA
“With the Samoyed being an arctic breed, they are very driven and built for a cooler climate. They will be happiest in an active family environment due to their higher energy levels, thanks to their sled dog origin. As with most breeds, early introduction to children is always beneficial. With proper socialization and structure, they can be a fine addition to the family. Although the shedding from their long coat could be a problem for some.”
Joey Morris, Dog Trainer and Owner of OverWatch K9 Academy speaks with A-Z Animals about the Samoyed dog breed.
“Labradors are active dogs who love to play. Retrievers, initially bred for hunting, enjoy hiking and playing fetch.”
Joey Morris, Dog Trainer and Owner of OverWatch K9 Academy speaks with Parents Magazine about the best kid-friendly dog breeds.
“Reading dog’s body language is very important. Does the dog genetically have high prey drive or is this nurtured? If it is nurtured, it can go away. If it is nature, then it can only be managed. People forget that dogs are like us. We don’t always like everybody we come in contact with, and dogs don’t have the ability to reason like humans do.”
Joey Morris, Dog Trainer and Owner of OverWatch K9 Academy speaks with Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) about dog behavior and how consulting a professional dog trainer can assist with understanding your dogs body language towards another dog.
