About the Trainer
Ozark Tails Co. offers individualized K9 training and behavioral therapy, focusing on establishing clear communication and easy management between dogs and their owners. Their philosophy centers on training owners to understand and communicate with their pets, empowering them to problem-solve independently rather than relying on a strict rule-based system.
The company utilizes Specific Development Plans to help owners establish their role as the “leader of the pack,” which is defined as setting responsible and consistent boundaries to provide security and understanding for the dog. They believe that many behavioral outbursts stem from a dog’s attempt to communicate, and their training aims to teach owners how to analyze and respond to these actions.
Ozark Tails Co. is a positive reinforcement-based program dedicated to improving the quality of life for both dogs and their families by fostering respect and trust in behavioral development. They offer various K9 Training Packages, including Basic Puppy, Graduate Puppy, and Masters Puppy training, as well as K9 Behavioral Training Packages such as Short-Term, Intermediate, and Long-term/Rehabilitation options.
