Home / Dog Training Options in Atlanta / Ribbons & Results

Ribbons & Results is a continuation-based training program for dogs and owners who want to build on existing foundations through structured progress, refinement, and optional title-focused training.

This program is ideal for families seeking ongoing development — whether the goal is polished everyday obedience, measurable benchmarks, or participation in virtual title programs — all while maintaining a well-mannered companion at home.

Ribbons & Results is designed for dogs who have completed prior training and are ready for continued development. Training focuses on refinement, consistency, and structured progression rather than foundational learning.

This program is intentionally advanced in scope, focusing on refinement, reliability, and progression beyond foundational obedience. This program is not required to pursue titles, nor is it limited to competition-focused households. Titles are offered as optional milestones, providing measurable goals for families who enjoy structured advancement.

Ribbons & Results emphasizes clarity, reliability, and refinement across environments.

Focus areas may include:

• Polished obedience and responsiveness
• Duration, impulse control, and consistency
• Real-world reliability around distractions
• Handler engagement and communication
• Advanced skills training
• Preparation for virtual title performance (optional)

Ribbons & Results is designed for dogs who already understand the basics and are ready to work at a higher level of clarity and consistency. Training goals are customized based on your dog’s experience, temperament, and your long-term objectives.

For families who enjoy structured goals and measurable progress, Ribbons & Results offers preparation and submission for AKC Virtual Titles through the American Kennel Club. Virtual titles allow dogs to earn recognized achievements by completing defined exercises via video submission, without the travel commitment. Titles are available to purebred dogs, mixed breeds, and rescue dogs — all dogs are welcome.

As part of Ribbons & Results, all training, preparation, and video submission for virtual titles is handled by our professional trainers. This includes skill development, proofing, recording, and submission of required videos, allowing clients to participate in title progression without managing the technical or logistical aspects themselves.

Owners are kept informed throughout the process and can choose their level of involvement, while training and execution remain consistent and professionally managed.

Virtual title pathways may include:

• AKC Rally – A handler-and-dog teamwork sport focused on precision, communication, and smooth transitions through a course of obedience-style exercises.
• AKC Obedience – Structured obedience routines emphasizing control, accuracy, and consistency.
• AKC Trick Dog – A progression-based program highlighting learning ability, creativity, and engagement.
• AKC Agility Course Test (ACT) – Foundation agility skills demonstrating focus, confidence, and responsiveness (equipment access dependent).
• AKC Scent Work – Odor recognition and problem-solving exercises that develop focus, independence, and mental stamina.

Participation in virtual titles is always optional. Many families choose Ribbons & Results simply for continued refinement and advanced training, while others enjoy the motivation and structure that titles provide.

• Owners seeking refinement or continued progress
• Families interested in structured goals or milestones
• Professionals who travel and want training to continue progressing while they’re away

• Owners only seeking obedience training
• Owners seeking a one-time, short-term program
• Families uninterested in ongoing development

Ribbons & Results blends structured training with real-world application. Dogs train in a home-based environment and participate in guided field trips to practice skills in everyday settings where focus and reliability matter most.

To support consistency and ease, door-to-door transportation is included, allowing training to continue smoothly while reducing logistical stress for owners.

This approach keeps training practical, transferable, and aligned with real life — not just performance scenarios.
