Customer Reviews
Amanda & Journey:
"Blythe has literally changed my life. I am training my dog as a gluten detection dog under her direction. It would not be possible without her. She is so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. I cannot recommend her enough!"
Kelsey & Apollo:
"It is life changing to have him. I have not gone out by myself with a group of people my age in at least five years. He alerted during the party and allowed me to stay safe, even without my parents. I am finally learning what it's like to be an independent adult (at age 30). I get to live life now."
Aubrey and Duke:
"10/10 these guys are the best! I got connected with them to do scent training for my dog. Blythe is so talented and has so much knowledge! I joined thinking I wasn't going to stick around long, but now I can't get away. Their training programs are adaptable towards your pace and they are really helpful!"
Chrystal & Apollo:
"I am truly surprised how amazing an online training program can be! The amount and quality of information , the organization of that information, and the amount of support is an amazing value! Highly, highly recommended!"
Daphne & Ratchet:
"I am in the gluten detection program online. They are very neurodiverse friendly, and has helped my ADHD Brain when it wasn't sinking in by explaining it in a different angle. One time they made a tiny video just go show exactly what they wanted. So worth it."
Laura & Hazael:
"I have celiac so this is super important to me. I have been very impressed with the scent training program and the staff as they help me work towards my goal."
Kelsey and Apollo:
"Before Delta Tails, I was passing out multiple times a day due to POTS for the last 10 years.
Since joining Delta Tails, Apollo has learned to alert to my heart rate and given me days without passing out or getting injured for the first time in a decade.
This program has been LIFE CHANGING and the support from the trainers and the pack have been amazing! I cannot recommend this program enough. Thank you Delta Tails!!"
Heather & Pancake:
"I can't say enough good things about this program. They truly teach you how to train your dog in the best possible way, all R+ force-free! I had a really hard time finding trainers in my area that didn't use ecollars or prongs, and I'm so glad I'm able to learn training safely under professional supervision."
Carrie & Luna:
"Luna and I have been with Blythe since she was a puppy. I have also been working with her for separation anxiety, and I have seen Luna improve drastically in her calmness while I am away. We have hit nearly an hour of calm waiting/napping! SO exciting to see the goal come within reach!"
Amanda & Jocelynn:
"I loved that I didn't have to carve out huge chunks of time for training. The courses made it so easy to fit into my day."
AJ & Rae:
"In the past, training tips made me feel worse because they just didn't work for my neurodivergent brain or disabled body. That never happens at Delta Tails - instead, we talk about options and resources and context and come up with approaches that are doable for my time and energy."
Aiden & Tenzin:
"I didn't realize activities like public access or watching distractions could be so simple. Makes it so easy to fit into my day."
Kayla & Ana:
"I went from almost washing out my Service Dog, to blowing away our training goals and getting her back into working full swing!"
Alesia & Muninn:
"Delta Tails answers the tons of questions I have (even if I've already asked them). The Pack provides guides and videos for almost any training problem we run in to. Feeling like I have a trainer in my back pocket for questions no matter how silly I think they are has helped us improve drastically."
Crystal & Apollo:
"I am truly surprised how amazing an online training program can be! The amount and quality of information, the organization of that information, and the amount of support is an amazing value! Highly, highly recommended!"
Pamala & Becca:
"I was in another program and the difference is night and day. They tended to be shaming. Becca never got excited or came running with the other ladies voice. But, your voice, she comes running. 😂 My partner commented about it last night, how kind you are and how different to the others."
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
