September is Service Dog Month, and we’re kicking off by clearing up a common question:

What’s the difference between a Service Dog and an Emotional Support Animal?

Service Dogs are highly trained to perform tasks that directly assist a person with a disability. Because of this, they are protected under the ADA and allowed to accompany their handler in public spaces.

Emotional Support Animals provide comfort through companionship but are not trained to perform tasks. Their protections are limited to housing, and they do not have public access rights.

Understanding this distinction helps protect the rights of Service Dog handlers and honors the important — but different — role ESAs play.

That “puppy energy ” you’re waiting for your puppy to grow out of?
It doesn’t just go away on its own.

The jumping, the biting, the accidents in the house, the ignoring your commands… those can become the normal if a puppy is not being taught.

The truth is: your puppy is learning every single day. The question is: are they learning the right things?

Puppyhood is the most critical window for shaping behavior, building confidence, and creating the calm, well-mannered companion you actually want. Training isn’t just for adult dogs that now have bad behaviors.

Dog training should really start as soon as you get your puppy. Puppies are like sponges. They want to learn.

If you’re overwhelmed, second-guessing your methods, or just want to set your puppy up for success, we’re here to help.
Structure. Clarity. Results.
Let’s raise your dream dog together.

Let’s Talk About the Truth Behind Dog Training Programs

These days, it feels like everyone’s offering some kind of “2-week miracle program” where your dog is supposed to come back fully off-leash trained, perfectly potty trained, and ready to be a service dog.

Let me be honest with you,that’s not real. That’s just a sales pitch, not a sustainable solution.

Dogs don’t magically learn reliable behaviors in a couple of weeks. Real training takes time, consistency, and support. Not shortcuts.

That’s exactly why I offer free private lessons for the lifetime of your dog to every single client.
Because I’m not here to just take your money and move on. I’m here to support you and your dog for the long run.

Training is a journey, and I’m walking it with you every step of the way.

Let’s be honest: A lot of dogs are struggling because no one’s leading them.

We don’t train dogs with vibes and treats alone. We train with structure, clarity, and accountability.

Most common issues we see?
• Too much affection, not enough direction
• Inconsistent follow-through
• Avoiding correction out of guilt- (We are not saying yank or crack your dog either)
• Confusing socialization with flooding them
• Blaming the dog instead of the environment

Your dog isn’t the problem. The problem is the way they’ve been set up to fail.

Want better behavior? Start by being a better communicator.
We’ll show you how.

Why I Love Working With Poodles
From the desk of your favorite dog trainer

Let’s talk about a breed that has completely stolen my heart—the Poodle. Yes—fluffy, elegant, and often rocking a stylish haircut—but beneath all that glam is one of the smartest, sweetest, and most trainable dogs I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

As a professional dog trainer, I highly recommend poodles to families, service dog prospects, and even first-time dog owners. Here’s why:

Incredible Intelligence
Poodles are exceptionally smart. They pick up new commands quickly and are always eager to engage. Their ability to learn and retain information makes them ideal for everything from basic obedience to complex service work.

Loyal and Emotionally Attuned
These dogs are incredibly in tune with their people. Poodles often form deep bonds with their families and are known for their loyalty, affection, and ability to sense how you’re feeling. Their sensitivity makes them wonderful companions for both kids and adults, and excellent candidates for therapy or psychiatric service roles.

Balanced Temperament
Poodles are full of charm. They’re playful, expressive, and sometimes downright silly—but also know how to settle and relax. That balance makes them incredibly adaptable and enjoyable to live with.

Manageable Energy
Poodles love to move, learn, and explore—but their energy is easy to manage with the right structure. They’re athletic and agile, but also content with resting after a mentally stimulating session. Whether you enjoy hiking, training games, or relaxed walks, they’re ready to match your pace.

Low-Shedding Coats
While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, poodles are often a great fit for allergy-sensitive households thanks to their non-shedding, curly coats. Just be prepared for regular grooming—those signature curls do require upkeep.

Happy 4th of July from Purple Pups ATL!
Wishing all of our clients, pups, and their families a safe and joyful Independence Day!

While today is full of fun, food, and fireworks, it can be overwhelming—or even dangerous—for our four-legged friends. Here are a few important safety tips to help keep your dog calm and secure during the celebrations:

1. Keep Dogs Indoors During Fireworks
Even the most confident dogs can be startled by loud noises. Set up a cozy, quiet space inside where your pup feels safe. Use white noise, calming music, or the TV to help muffle sounds from outside.

2. Update ID Tags and Microchips
July 4th is one of the top days for lost dogs. Make sure your dog is wearing a collar with up-to-date ID tags, and double-check that their microchip information is current—just in case.

3. Avoid Fireworks and Sparklers Near Pets
Not only can they be scary, but fireworks can also be dangerous. Keep dogs away from any open flames, fireworks, or sparklers to prevent burns or accidents.

4. Provide Enrichment and Exercise Early in the Day
Give your dog a walk, some playtime, or a training session earlier in the day to burn off extra energy. A tired dog is more likely to rest through the noise and chaos later.

5. Skip the Party Food
Tempting as it may be, many holiday foods (like chocolate, grapes, and BBQ bones) are unsafe for dogs. Stick to dog-safe treats and keep human food out of reach.

6. Consider Calming Tools
If your dog struggles with noise sensitivity, talk to your vet or trainer about calming aids like thunder shirts, pheromone diffusers, or natural supplements.

From our pack to yours, have a fun and safe 4th of July—don’t forget to give your pups a little extra love today!

Choosing a dog isn’t one-size-fits-all. To set yourself (and your future dog) up for success, it’s important to consider three key traits: energy level, temperament, and the dog’s original purpose—what the breed was originally developed to do.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

High-Energy, Working Breeds
These dogs were bred for jobs and need both mental and physical outlets.
Examples: Border Collies, Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds and Dutch Shepherds
Best for active homes, working roles, or experienced handlers

Low-Energy, More Laid-Back Breeds
They still need daily activity but are typically more relaxed and content to lounge.
Examples: Basset Hounds, Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Great for slower-paced households or first-time owners

Family-Friendly Breeds
Known for being gentle, tolerant, and good with children.
Examples: Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Poodles
Ideal for families looking for a well-rounded companion

Service Dog Breeds
These dogs are intelligent, task-driven, and thrive with structure and training.
Examples: Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Standard Poodles
Often used in service work, detection, and assistance roles

Remember, a dog’s breed gives you a starting point, but individual personality and early training play a big role. The key is choosing a dog whose needs and instincts match your lifestyle and goals.
