Happy Tailz

Kelly knows and LOVES animals! We have a golden retriever Icy that has noise phobia and would run back to her den even when a toast popped up in a toaster. We did not have high hopes of our dog getting better and Kelly has turned Icy around. It’s like we have a different dog! Kelly has a deep expertise in understanding how dogs think, act, and react and we are always blown away by how much progress we make in just one session! We would highly recommend her!

Kelly is absolutely, hands down, the most amazing and kind hearted person you’ll ever meet. I used her years ago after adopting one of our fur babies and was pregnant. She helped train our sweet girl and made it so much easier for us transitioning her into our home. Fast forward 7 years later, after adopting our next fur baby who needed someone who was gentle, patient, and understanding..who else did I call, none other than Kelly. She comes highly recommended from our family to yours!

I can't say enough good things about Kelly at Happy Tailz Dog Training! I rescued a dog who had been abused, which made him fearful of people (especially men). Unfortunately he ended up biting someone, and I didn't know what to do or how to keep it from happening again. I needed help, so I set up some sessions with Kelly. And the changes in him have been amazing! After the very first training session I noticed that he was gaining confidence and becoming more relaxed, and now after a few sessions, it's like he's a whole new dog. And I'm happy to say that we've had no incidents since! Seeing the happy, sweet, well-adjusted dog he is today, really makes me glad that I gave him another chance. But I couldn't have done it without Kelly!

My dog Beau and I had a wonderful experience working with Miss Kelly! Beau was very dog-reactive while on leash, making it difficult to walk him regularly. After a few months of positive reinforcement training, Beau and I both learned about dominance, respect, and patience. He is under wonderful voice command now, knows how to settle down when asked, and is overall much calmer and less anxious. While he does still react to dogs, it is much less aggressive-sounding/acting, and he has learned to leave it and move on! Beau isn’t and never will be perfect, but he is so much improved! And I now have the confidence and tools to move forward with his training on a daily basis :)
