Happy Tails Dog Behavior & Training

 located in Hornell NY in the beautiful Southern Tier of  NY. 

I use only positive dog training and dog behavior modification methods that are based in dog psychology. I can help you with any dog training or dog behavior challenges you may be having. Whether you need help training your puppy or help with your human aggressive dog, I can help.

I come to you. I will work with all of your dog training and dog behavior problems in the convenience and comfort your home. If you don’t live in Hornell, I travel up to 100 miles to help owners with any dog behavior problems.

If you only need help with leash pulling, I offer a Learn To Heel Deal. It includes a Gentle Leader and a leash. In about an hour you will have a dog that walks without pulling.

I offer dog obedience classes in Hornell NY. The group dog obedience classes are limited to 5 dogs to ensure that you get the personalized help that you and your dog deserve.

Dogs think like dogs. They don’t think like people. You are here reading this because you love your furry friend very much. My guess is though.... YOU CAN’T TAKE IT MUCH LONGER. I bet you have tried everything you could think of, and it isn't working. The methods I use will work. Why will they work, because they are based in the science of canine learning and behavior, canine neuropsychology and canine clinical behavioral medicine. I will teach you how to use dog psychology on him, and that WILL work.

I use positive and proven methods to change your dogs mind about what he is doing. I will explain what goes on in that cute head of his. The biggest problem that people have living with their dogs is communication and understanding each other. With my help you can bridge that communication gap. You will learn how to effectively get the behavior you do want and how to stop the behaviors you don’t want. He will understand what you want and expect of him because you will be using his language his psychology in a way he can clearly understand. I'll help you understand what your dog thinks you are telling him. (This is usually different than what you think you are telling him). I will help you understand his language better too.
I believe all of the dog's behavior problems are linked. So we will work on all of his behavior problems for the same price.

The techniques I use are not typical such as what you would get in a conventional obedience class. Every technique I use is designed to clarify the communication between dog and owner, prevent future behavior problems, repairs or ensure the human/animal bond and teaches the dog to slow down and think rather than react. The exercises also repair or set up the pack structure so that all humans are in a higher position than the dog. The techniques are designed to reduce stress and lower the dogs cortisol level so that he can think instead of react. My techniquesl increase the dog and owners self-confidence, increase the dogs trust in people, and increase your confidence in your dog as well as your confidence in handling dogs. I will explain dog psychology and pack mentality so that you can learn to understand things through your dogs' point of view. My techniques are designed to help the dog overcome stress, depression or aggression and other psychological or behavioral problems.
