My dog and I both had a wonderful experience with our training and are very happy with the results. She learned beyond what I could’ve taught her myself. I would reccomend Holly to everyone who needs training for their dogs!
Our Border Collie just graduated from Furry Tail Dog Training. Holly was so patient with our Fenway, a ball of energy, and his two senior (and forgetful) owners. She explained everything well, ensuring that we understood why we were doing things or why fenway was reacting. I would highly recommend her training.

Holly was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable in the work she does. She tried different treats until we found one that worked to use in training. She is patient and explains everything she is doing in a language that I can understand. She always asks if what she said makes sense and is patient and provides the answer until it does make sense. She is constantly keeping up with any new training trends and passes that information on. Sam can now go on a walk with us without acting like he is insane. :) Highly recommend Holly and Furry Tail Dog Training.
Working with Holly was an amazing experience! I love that it is all about positive reinforcements. You can tell just how much she loves animals and was not afraid of my 50 pound pittie! My Lucy girl has already shown much improvement over the last 5 weeks. We will definitely be back for the silver class. Thank you so much Holly!
