OUR BRAND

Our personal training inspiration comes from a dog named Keith.  He represents all of the possibilities that lie within every dog to become a great family member with the right training, and regardless of their past.  

Keith was rescued by Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue, as part of a large feral dog pack, living in the North Georgia woods without any human contact.  We were assigned as trainers to help him become domesticated, interactive, and learn his position in a human pack. Learning to trust people, eat dog food from a bowl, and how to walk on leash were just part of the challenges. We were able to use Keith's inherent traits to transform him into a well-balanced dog.  After all, he was already resourceful, independent, and knew how to cohabitate with the other dogs in his pack.  Our perseverance and customized training helped Keith learn manners, potty skills, how to love and be loved.  Keith’s journey took him from the woods, to a temporary shelter home, to his permanent family home with us and our other dog, Jamie. Although his characteristic one ear up and one ear down is a physical trait, to us, it truly symbolizes a well-balanced dog - relaxed but always willing to listen attentively.  

Keith will occasionally attend My Loyal Dog Training sessions as a mentor dog. His calm demeanor and acceptance of other dogs can help teach reactive dogs how to socialize and develop confidence. A pack walk with Keith can help a fearful dog learn that other dogs are not a threat and meeting new pets and people are enjoyable.
