🐾Understanding How Pain in Dogs Can Lead to Behavioral Issues🐾

As pet owners, we always want our dogs to be happy, healthy, and comfortable. However, pain, whether due to injury, arthritis, or other underlying conditions, often goes unnoticed—leading to behavioral changes that might leave us puzzled.

Studies show that chronic pain in dogs can significantly impact their behavior. According to a study published in *Veterinary Record* (2014), dogs experiencing pain due to conditions like osteoarthritis often display behaviors such as increased irritability, aggression, and anxiety. These behaviors are not intentional; they are often a result of the discomfort and frustration caused by pain.

Pain can also manifest in more subtle ways. For instance, dogs in pain may become more withdrawn, less active, or exhibit signs of depression. They might even show resistance to being touched or handled, especially in areas that are causing discomfort.

At Purple Pups ATL, we believe in looking at the *whole picture* when taking on new training clients. While training can work wonders for behavior issues, it’s important to remember that no amount of training will solve a dog’s pain. If pain or health issues are the root cause of a behavioral problem, we make it a priority to address these underlying factors first. By collaborating with veterinary professionals and thoroughly assessing your dog’s physical health, we ensure that we’re not missing any potential pain-related concerns before we begin training.

Behavioral change are often a sign that something is wrong, and only by treating the pain can we help our dogs return to their happy, balanced selves.

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!

At Purple Pups ATL, we absolutely love helping puppies become well-behaved, confident adult dogs! Training and proper socialization in those early months set the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. With our Basic Board and Train program, we ensure your puppy learns the essential skills they need to thrive both at home and out in the world.

Here’s what’s covered in our Basic Board and Train:

🐾 Potty Training– A clean home is a happy home!
🐾 Crate Training– Helping your puppy feel safe and secure in their crate.
🐾 Leash Manners– Walking calmly and confidently on a leash.
🐾 Basic Commands– Sit, Down, Place, Off (for jumping), Kennel (for crate), Heel, and Recall (Here).
🐾 House Manners– We teach respect for furniture and your space!
🐾 Meeting & Greeting People– Your puppy will learn how to behave when meeting new people.
🐾 Sit & Stay Until Released– Patience and self-control go a long way!
🐾 Waiting at the Door– We work on impulse control to avoid door-dashing.

And we don’t just train at home! We take your puppy out to pet-friendly stores like Lowes to practice everything they’re learning in real-world environments.

At Purple Pups ATL, we’re dedicated to providing your puppy with the best start possible, and we’d love to help you create the obedient and well-mannered adult dog you’ve always wanted. Let’s make sure your puppy’s training is fun, effective, and sets them up for success.

Contact us today at 470-738-1117 to learn more about our Board and Train program!

🐾 Meet Porkchop! 🐾

We’re beyond excited to introduce this sweet pup as the very first dog we’re training for @pups.and.pumps.charity! This marks a special moment for us as we partner with an incredible organization whose mission is close to our hearts.

Pups and Pumps envisions a world where every survivor of sexual assault or domestic violence has the support they need to heal, reclaim their independence, and thrive—with the unwavering companionship of a highly trained companion dog. These dogs don’t just provide emotional comfort; they offer tangible support, helping to interrupt anxiety episodes, provide physical security, and empower survivors to regain confidence in their daily lives.

Our goal is simple but powerful: to help survivors rebuild their lives and be defined not by their trauma, but by their strength, resilience, and freedom. Together, we are building a network of healing that extends to families, communities, and society at large.

We are so proud to be a part of this mission and can’t wait to see what the future holds for Porkchop and all the amazing dogs who will help make this vision a reality.

We love training puppies! Here are some of the most recent cuties we have been working with. A big thing that I am big on with all puppies is setting a good schedule with them. This is to help them get use to day to day activities but also to help with potty training. Puppies and dogs learn with repetition so it’s important to have a constant potty schedule while they are learning 💜

Harvey has been doing so well in training! He is getting more confident and learning to hold his positions(sit, down and place). Today he got to visit Hollywood feed and he did so well. He loved looking at all the toys and treats 😂. Since he did so well he was able to pick out a treat.
