Making Proud Pet Parents
Dogs 7 mos. and older
Have a dog with too much energy and nowhere for it to go? Is your dog afraid of loud noises, other dogs, or people? Does your dog just not listen to you? At Healthy Tails Academy we can help you with these common canine behaviors and many more. With our positive reinforcement methods, we will teach your dog how to do what you ask with results you can count on!

Let us do the work for you!
Have a busy schedule? Not enough time to devote to a weekly class? No Problem. Private Dog Training is what you need! You wouldn’t want to take your car to a mechanic and ask them to teach you how to fix it? We will do the Dog Training for you, in your own home or at our facility (Healthy Tails Retreat). When we do the training, you will see results with your dog faster, so you can get back to be a Proud Pet Parent!
