Graniris McGowan - Professional Dog Trainer - Albany, GA
I know you can’t go from 0 to 100 without doing the work. I offer comprehensive, results-driven dog training services tailored to each dog’s age, breed, temperament, and your lifestyle. My approach focuses on positive, science-based training methods that build clear communication, trust, and confidence between you and your dog. Services include puppy training (potty training, crate training, socialization, bite inhibition, and basic manners), basic obedience (sit, stay, down, recall, loose-leash walking), and advanced obedience with real-world distractions.
I also specialize in behavior modification for common challenges such as leash reactivity, excessive barking, jumping, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, separation issues, and mild aggression. Training plans are customized after an in-depth assessment, ensuring we address root causes—not just symptoms. I provide hands-on coaching for owners, clear step-by-step instructions, homework plans, and ongoing support so results last beyond the sessions. Whether you want a well-mannered family companion or help resolving specific behavior concerns, my goal is to create calm, reliable, and happy dogs while empowering owners with the skills and knowledge to succeed long-term. In addition, I offer private sessions, structured programs, and guidance on enrichment, mental stimulation, and daily routines to create a well-balanced dog. My goal is not only to improve behavior, but to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, creating a calm, confident companion you can enjoy at home and in the community.
