Tricky Tailz Dog Training

Tricky Tailz offers private one-on-one training sessions and occasional small group classes. Their training focuses on making dogs think, using their minds and bodies, and they specialize in Trick Training, Obedience, and Canine Conditioning.

Private sessions are custom-tailored to the dog and handler, emphasizing handler skills, and they primarily use positive reinforcement. The Canine Conditioning Foundations class is a beginner-level group class focusing on fitness foundations, assessing dog structure, and safe exercise performance; it is a 6-week class with a 2-week break.

Trick training aims to improve communication and bond, teaching dogs how to learn and problem-solve, which leads to increased attention and focus, and it is based entirely on positive reinforcement. Obedience training is offered in 30 and 60-minute private sessions and is custom-tailored; they can train dog-aggressive dogs for an additional cost but refer human-aggressive cases.

How to Get Started!

All dogs must undergo a $50 assessment before beginning obedience training. During this assessment, the trainer evaluates the dog’s and handler’s existing knowledge, checks for aggression, and ensures a shared understanding of training goals.
