Elizabeth Anne Brown
Beth got her start in behavior consulting and training at a local shelter and has never looked back from there. She loves working with all animal species, but specializes in dogs and cats. The more she learns about animal behavior, the more she loves it, and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the world. She has since decided she can help more animals by starting her own business and being more flexible with the clients and animals she works with. Her goal is to improve the relationships of all the members of the family she's working with and help them find solutions that are functional for their every day life without feeling like a burden.
Training Philosophy
At Ear To Tail, we take pride in being as up to date as possible on current research and practices to give you the best chances of success. We follow evidence based positive reinforcement techniques in our training. That means we never use aversives and will never put you or your pet in an uncomfortable situation.
Services
We offer a variety of behavior packages that are designed to be customized for you.
Every tier is designed as a monthly subscription service, but it is always month to month and you can stop or start as needed. When a package is purchased it is required to be used in full within the month, so use them or lose them. Individual appointments will be scheduled in advance, but should they need to be moved around we are willing to be flexible, just communicate your needs and we'll be happy to work within them! And of course, if you ever have any questions or concerns, we are just a text, email, or phone call away!

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.
