Remmi - Border Collie Blue Border collie Baldwin county Alabama Dog trainer The Practical Dog

Welcome to The Practical Dog - "Good Dog" Training - Founded 1983

 Our focus is on companion dogs and their people, building better relationships through understanding, knowledge and communication while teaching desired behaviors, proper social skills and trade skills.  I offer real training for the real world with the belief that a well rounded dog can go anywhere and do most anything.


I also work with owners of competition hopefuls and current competitors in refining the skills needed to truly shine in competition, demonstrating not just compliance to commands, but a genuine team relationship by dispelling competition myths and refining the team.


For information on our training programs; see the links at the top of the page.
