About Love Love Me Dog

Love Love Me Dog is a house-call practice. The masthead under the business name reads "Columbia TN and Surrounding Areas" and "House Call Training & Grooming", and the trainer introduces herself in the first line of the page: "Hi, I'm Sara Compton, Canine Behaviorist and certified Groomer." Those are her own descriptions of herself.

Behavior work is the center of it

The business states its specialism plainly – "Love Love Me Dog specializes in behavioral issues" – and describes the method as assessment first: "It's my job to gather up all the information that you have learned, to observe your dog as an individual and to fine tune a rehabilitation program that fits into your lifestyle." The stated purpose behind it is keeping dogs out of shelters, and the site says the trainer volunteers time at animal shelters rehabilitating dogs there.

The everyday problems

The rest of the page works through ordinary complaints one at a time: recall and loose-leash walking, which it calls "probably two of the most useful lessons for you and your dog", dogs that struggle with car travel, digging and escaping, rushing the door when the bell rings, and integrating a new dog into a household. Basic training and puppy classes are offered as well – the site says "If you are interested in basic training or puppy classes, they usually run for about six or eight weeks."

Worth knowing

The site's section headings are Beatles song titles. Grooming runs alongside the training on the same house call; ask about prices when you call.
