Pet Trainers in North Decatur, GA

http://jabuladogs.com/ Best there is.

I tend to avoid training with pee pads as usually once they're trained on that even after the pee pads are removed they'll still tend to potty in the same area(took us forever to train my oldest to potty outside once she was trained on the pads... neve r again (it was so much easier/faster housetraining the two newest additions w/o them). Why not just take your pup out right before/after being in their crate and playing, 30 mins after eating/sleeping etc, and crate when unable to actively supervise? I've personally heard mixed things about jabula so can't say one way or the other as I have no experience with them, but for a trainer I highly suggest looking for a +R trainer. I personally really like Canine PhD but they are a bit pricier. You can also check out Dacula Dog Training definitely e-mail her and talk with her. I've somewhat know of Brianne through agility/dogsport world and she's done some great things with her dogs. Also definitely look into clicker training it's fun for both dog and owner. Karen Pryor Clicker Training is a great source for clicker training http://www.daculadogtraining.com/our-methods.html

Also Kikopup has some good videos on clicker training you could check out. My entire crew was/is trained using +R and clicker training and we have so much fun with it(I'm currently working on training a pawstand/handstand with Karma). My youngest I tra ined via shaping instead of luring like with the other three and it's so incredibly fun watching problem solve and finally work things out. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF26FD559887E7EA4
